Hydrogen fuel cells are the way forward according to the Toyota UK Chairman, as electric cars have huge carbon footprint needing power stations galore. I saw a Dutch solar powered car at the weekend a prototype so the boundaries are being pushed all the time. Who knows in 2040 electric cars may well be obsolete. How the earth was created I don't know but everything was provided, the sun the wind, foolish mankind just goes on its destructive path.

Do you use shops,supermarkets,have parcels delivered. In terms of reducing emissions, that's whats required - Rather than 30 people going out to pick up x, y and z in their cars, one person delivering it. Similar to public transport - London has magnificent public transport links. Seriously, I often wonder why people in London actually drive or own cars. Better 40 people on a bus, than what you tend to get outside out side major town and city areas, which is 40 people individually driving into an town or city, because the bus goes once an hour from the otherside of town and turns up only 3 in 4 times.

Empty the roads and people will drive their cars.

You have bus lanes and cycle lanes,as that traffic flows,the cars and vans/lorries are stuck in traffic spewing out s*** loads of emissions, so its a bt of a catch 22 situation.

From what I've read electric cars are better on emissions. It's primarily to do with the carbon footprint of producing hydrogen vs Lithium Cells as well as the increased capacity of the former....the major drawback though is the stringent infrastructure required for a Hydrogen solution, due to safety purposes.

I will move on to solar. Solar is amazing. When you are not using your car it stands there charging itself and could be sending power back through the grid. Everything solar is absolutely discumknockerating. No pollution belching power stations climates carbons all greatly reduced or eliminated. I am having the GT solar panels with twin nodding dogs.

I would love for solar panels to be the answer but they're not quite yet efficient enough, having said that Elon Musk himself is already investing heavily in solar so who knows perhaps sometime soon they will be on parity with power then batteries. His company have produced roof tiles that are solar panels in their own right so that will be an interesting thing to keep an eye on over the next few years

It's in the Guardian, Eindhoven leading with the Germans closely behind. Also read that renewables can supply 70% of Australian homes already.
