These advocates of all electric vehicles by the year 2040 are completely bonkers. It takes 5-8 years to design and build a large coal fired power station like LoyYang and even longer for a Nuclear one (that’s after you get the political will, permits and legislative changes needed ). Wind and solar just can’t produce enough. It’s just a green silly dream in the foreseeable future other than in small wealthy countries. It will no doubt ultimately come, but not in the next 20 years. ..."</i><br /><br />http://bishophill.squarespace.com/blog/2019/5/6/the-practical-issues-of-installing-ev-charging-points.htmlMike Dombroskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14722885486530482844noreply@blogger.com
