I'm unaware that I needed your permission either to post or ignore your abuse, however, if it makes you feel better to treat another human being with contempt who am I to object.

Oh and thanks for answering my question...

:lol: Fat Albert does rank hypocrisy. It seems that "childish name calling" is to be frowned upon unless those on the receiving end of one's "wit" are unlikely to reply. One wonders if London Pride (and TMWF) will ever contribute anything to the discussion, as opposed to belittling others that do! ...

Why doesn't anyone else pick up Slowy on his childish defamatory name calling (dinosaur) and his utter, complete and wilfull ignorance of energy economics. At the beginning of the old thread I did the math which showed that ludicrous ENERGY COST of manufacturing and distributing replacement battery ...

It was 10degC warmer for most of the Jurassic & Cretaceous when CO2 was between 5 and 10 times the modern pre-industrial level, as any fule no, CO2 follows temperature, it doesn't drive it http://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/PageMill_Images/image277.gif Jurassic Ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, giant marine...

By that argument, why would anyone buy an expensive car that gobbles conventional fuel at a fearsome rate? Perhaps you might consider how many vehicles someone who has $92k to spend on a car might own! And those who buy the $50k/150km range version will almost certainly use another car for journeys...

I'd still have a Tesla S, because it's a bodacious piece of kit. :) to be fair it does look stunning, much kudos for the styling :thumbup: shame about the 7,000 odd laptop batteries that form the battery pack x( I'd wait until independent tests are conducted before committing, in fact I'd wait unti...

The truth is that fossil fuel fear is the excuse that eco-fundies have seized upon to force changes to our lifestyle.? FA, that has the potential to come across as paranoia. I doubt the main objective of anyone in the world is to change your lifestyle. You're probably right, I'm as guilty of hyperb...

Do you also agree that whole life energy cost should be taken into account for fossil fuels? What about the structural, environmental and human damage they cause to Western and non-Western economies alike? Or do you not mind that? I absolutely completely agree, provided that the starting point is r...

Firstly, air is dirty largely because of the burning of carbon-based fuels. Now you are telling me that burning more will make it cleaner. Don't project your prejudice on my words. I said that in some parts of Europe local atmosphere pollution from factors that are nothing to do with transport is w...

Whilst I agree with you Homer, regarding hyperbole on both sides of the argument, and that plug in pure electric vehicles do have a niche market, such as day rental in cities, Slowy takes such liberties with engineering truth due to his fervent advocacy that he needs his chain yanked, often. For exa...

Worldwide, there were 12.6 million natural gas vehicles by 2010, up 11.6% over the previous year CNG is made by compressing natural gas, to less than 1% of the volume it occupies at standard atmospheric pressure. It is stored and distributed in hard containers at a pressure of 200–248 bar (2900–360...

The most fertile periods in this planets history have been when atmospheric CO2 was 8-10 times higher than it's been since the last ice age. The Jurassic had verdant growth across a much higher percentage of the planet, that's the only reason that the dinosaurs could exist. CO2 is not a pollutant, i...

But of course you only release the same carbon you traped in the process. It's a renewable source. Yeah but it takes a while to get it back out of the atmosphere. Anyway you are just talking about CO 2 , burning diesel releases lots of nasty stuff. I don't know how many times I need to tell you but...

It won't take off. That land is needed for food production, that's this idea's achilles heel, agricultural space. Utter cock, land for conventional bio fuels could be used to grow food, Joule's system can be deployed on land unsuitable for agriculture, such as rock and desert, all that's needed is ...

Right on the first part, Geek. Wrong way around on the second part. Overall, drive efficiency of the Tesla Roadster is 88% - almost three times more efficient than an internal combustion powered vehicle. Yes, but the electricity has to be generated first - most likely from coal or gas. Efficiency o...

. Hey Slowy, just read that Tesla had confirmed deposits for the entire 2012 production run of Model S by Oct 2011 All 6,500 cars :thumbup:, Musk confirms that production will ramp up to 20,000 a year for 2014 If they get there it will be a great achievement, especially given that Honda sold 20,545 ...

The sod is that you have the opposite problem when the air is used in the engine, as the energy latent in the pressure is converted to kinetic energy, the air (already at or near ambient temperature) will lose heat drastically, and will thus be below freezing: at which point the water vapour that's...

Do I have to capitalise "dick" for you, FA? Even then you probably wouldn't get it. :lol: Classic Whoooosh moment. Honestly, the arrogance of yooof!

And I'm sure Tata would find it nigh on impossible to meet US standards Er, Tata already sell in the States, you are aware that they own Jaguar & Land Rover? Besides, the miniCAT was engineered in France to EU standards and you can buy a Smart across the pond these days. Smart (as in IQ) Americans ...

On the subject of which, what happens to that in an accident? Imagine that would be potentially quite destructive, and difficult to protect without a disastrous weight penalty... just surmising here.

Tata's proposal is that existing gas/diesel filling stations will fit new compressors to the forecourt, bear in mind that any forecourt which currently offers tyre inflation facilities already has a compressor.
