Malcolm Davies:

2.) Seek to continue to address measures and long term studies to more fully understand and thus limit 'man made fuelling' of climate change, including a more efficient use of all costly, scarce 'enabling technologies' such as lithium, cobalt, copper, and associated 'rare earth' (magnetic) technologies. E.G. Better for us all to 'share' these scarce resources between, say, one Million Pedal Assist Bikes, and Tuc-Tucs than concentrate the same resources on the manufacture of just 6250 'grossly inefficient' battery electric cars. (64KWh BEV/0.4KWh E-Bicycle = 160 and One million divided by 160 = 6250)

 

It's hard enough at the moment to get people to accept an electric car with a limited range compared with their old petrol or diesel one.  Telling them that they are not allowed to have a car at all, but only have a bike, isn't going to go down very well.


I wouldn't want to be the politician that suggests it.
