Electric cars/ batteries
Posted: Wed Dec 20, 2017 11:24 am
The problem with electric cars is that it's just a different way of destroying the planet, it's taken decades for the UK to get to a point where lead acid batteries could be recycled successfully after they had expired, the ground must be full of them.
Many countries still have no means of recycling batteries at all, especially for the more modern types of battery i.e lithium ion and for the few countries that have thought about the problem it was very much an after thought.

If there isn't any profit in it then it's not worth doing attitude, as got to change.
While every decision made by government and big businesses and people who come up with these so called "green" ideas are motivated by profit and greed then nothing will ever change...............that is until the sea is lapping at the steps of parliament because the polar ice cap has melted and the plastic in the sea has choked the life out of what was in it and began to poison us too, the forests have disappeared along with what lived there and there is nothing left in the ground to mine, only then will someone get serious about "green" but it will all be too late.
So with all that in mind and before the world turns to s*** (long after I'm gone) I strongly recommend we all enjoy what is left of the good old internal combustion engine and all the fun and freedom it brings with it. Noise, speed, control, revs, gears you can even steer it yourself........awesome! So go and burn up the last of the diesel and petrol before they ban it and have fun doing it.
I am currently looking into swapping my boring diesel QQ ( that the government told me to buy, funny that) for a performance car to do all the above and more and to get the best of the last if you know what I mean.
I am also going to stock up on 2 stroke oil before that dries up then I can complete the restoration of my Yamaha 2 stroke motorcycle and give it a good thrashing to burn as much oil as I can buy, smells great!!!
Merry Christmas!!!
