'This is the future': solar-powered family car hailed by experts.

As the annual solar race across Australia wraps up, a Dutch entry averaged 69kmh from Darwin to Adelaide and resupplied the grid.

It's in the Guardian, Eindhoven leading with the Germans closely behind.

Also read that renewables can supply 70% of Australian homes already.

How did they get on at night?...

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

......along with govt subsidies.

I'm still baffled with the Musk 'lovefest' tbh. Anyone would think he's the only one in this field......

Most of the time you go on about billionaires being the devils incarnate, then you quote them for being anti-Brexit!

Perhaps it's because he seems to get things done...and quickly whether with govt investment or not (which would suggest he has great ideas to get the investment in the first place)...you clearly have issues with him though.

For me it's more about the fact that he just gets on with it, and quickly...not like most corporations who simply drag their feet.

No doubt it's because he wants to make money, but he's also not afraid of failure in order to get where he's going.

I know, I read the news.

Not exactly "the future" then, are they? Half the entries didn't even finish the race and it's not like the race is in it's infancy.

Solar buses are up and running at York and 2 recently at Brighton.

They are electric being charged by batteries in turn charged from solar panels.

There are for example 150 solar panels at a bus depot trapping the sun's energy throughout the day.

So they are electric, not solar (it's just that the power they use to charge them is solar generated). That's a slightly different thing. If I charge my Tessla from electricity from a nuclear power station, that doesn't mean I have a nuclear car.

The logic is baffling.

And come the first winter they'll either be short of battery capacity or end up plugging them into the grid to charge.

Yep Capitalism & Entrepreneurship Rocks. Failure sometimes sure but on the whole It's private money rather than your Tax Dollar being wasted....

Last week I heard someone attribute peoples wish to remain (and thus freely accept migrants) to post-Colonial guilt, which I can only assume to be a reflection of their own (extreme liberal) views.

That's literally based on nothing but emotion. At least racists had enough sense to present the case of migrants taking jobs. Then you have people who actually believe that was the case, or at least (in my case) that it drives wages down (see capitalism [spit]).

I've no doubt that many pro-remain arguments have a similar underlying sentiment although the difference is that my stance is open to reverse engineering while calling a remainer out on their possible sympathies for all things foreign (ironically including right-wing imports) would seem an outrageous accusation.

It's so daft those who've sat down and had a serious think and still voted Corbyn seem pretty sensible.

You have to subscribe to the FT to read this article. I assume you subscribe then for surveillance purposes, perhaps to draw up lists for post-revolution debt settlement?

But surely you agree a "solar car" would be one which generates its own electricity via onboard solar panels? I know a portion of the domestic grid power comes from wind farms, but would you ever claim you have a wind powered TV?

No different to keeping ''under wraps'' the eventual ''impact'' of the current economic policies of Draghi and Co then.

Nothing to see here.

Brexit = 75,000 jobs to go/be relocated predicted by BoE

[Link]

That's quite a hit what with the domino effect of their money going elsewhere and not being spent in the local shops, on nannies, cabs, etc,

75,000 x an average salary of say 60k? That's £4.5 bllion. Over 10 years £45 billion.
