More Car Charging Juice Needed Humphrey? Yes Minister.

Well I never. Haven't we said so for years? Ministers are catching on at last, bless 'em.

  • Well I guess we will have to scrap all those battery rooms stacked with lead acid batteries for emergency services on ships and in some buildings, etc.  That a shame as we have used them for decades without that many problems.  I suppose I will have to dump the ones on my yacht too.


    A spark near a gassing lead acid battery tends to blow the filler caps up in the air with a big bang but not much else,  at least that is what happened when I played the idiot and moved a connection on a gassing battery bank.


    However, to balance the negative comments  against a hydrogen solution try these:


    New Fuel

    The Train

    Hydrogen may or may not be part of the solution.  However, I fail to see how the current electric cars with all of the the problems of providing suitable infrastructure will be a long term answer.
