With all this wind about, I thought I would check out our National Grid wind generated figures:
Coal 6.79GW
(15.88%)
Nuclear 8.24GW
(19.27%)
CCGT 23.10GW
(54.01%)
Wind 0.42GW
(0.98%)

Thank you Radical Rodent (or Ravishing Rattie, if I may be so bold). I watched the You Tube links successfully.
Food for thought. I can't help thinking (as some others have already said) that the old left/right distinctions are becoming meaningless. Perhaps the distinction now should be between consensus and radical? It may be possible to be left or right and part of the consensus, and left or right and radical. I think. Strange times.

P.s.s.
Lets see what Dyson comes up with.

P.S. It would also workout a lot cheaper than a plugin hybrid.

Handling a battery pack is a simple engineering problem which I am sure JCB could solve.
The whole idea of a tack on generator is that you would not require two vehicles.

" To my mind the answer is simple"
= "yes i'll take this shortcut, I don't know why no one else uses it ...oh a ravine"
#1 batteries are big and heavy ..and tesla gave up with battery transfer
#2 Tow a generator ?...well just used combustion engine in the first place
I suppose at Waterloo the French might have had "range anxiety" if their guns had a shorter range than the Brit's

Ross:
The AA could carry a standard battery packWould they turn out if you needed triple As. Then again, they'd never get called to the Duracell Bunny.
Harry Passfield
P.S. The AA could carry a standard battery pack just as today they have a can of Petrol or Diesel.

With respect to the problem of range with plug in electric cars. To my mind the answer is simple.
1. Battery packs on higher and interchangable. Just as we do with camping gas cylinders.
2. For longer trips hitch on a geneator pack, preferably LPG.
There will have to be some agreement on designs but nothing too challenging.

So far we've had sane videos from Paul Watson, Milo
and now this guy seems sane whilst CNN and American MSM look ridiculous
I just listened to BBC Tech Tent ..edition about Fake News and Hatespeech
and the example of FakeNews is "One was an opinion poll that put Trump ahead"
..and I just thought maybe the BBC were rushing their edit.
