I did not know that they had Paste Mines in Cornwall. I know that they have Jam Butty Mines in Knotty Ash Liverpool.Cornwall - the county that just keeps on giving - tin, lead, pasties, now lithium!
Sure I understand the need to reduce co2 emissions BUT the world population growth needs to be debated too.
2 billion in 1920, 8 billion in 2020 ........................ unsustainable
I understand there is a tendency for families that are upwardly mobilize have smaller families.Population numbers are part of it but it is also how those people live. We can't sustain 8 billion have a Western European or US lifestyle and consumption habits that is for sure!
Development in the poorest countries us what is needed - that's what drips the population growth rates to point the start to decline e.g. Japan, Italy etc.
Perhaps all the cyclists on here should connect their bikes up to generators and export it via the National Grid. Someone is mentioning Romans again you will be waking Asterix up. .I watch the "Fully Charged" videos on youtube and have to say it's quite heartening at times to see that despite the lack of participation of most consumers, myself included, that alternative ways of generating electrical energy without burning stuff are already in place to the tune of giga watt hours of the stuff.
Slightly off topic but it's almost ironic that with existing ice technology the legacy car makers seem hell bent on producing ever larger Chelsea tractors powered by ever smaller displacement engines that here in Northampton seem to be the vehicle of choice of yummy mummies taking their one child to school or themselves shopping or to the gym.
It just feels like the final days of Rome at times with people demanding ever larger symbols of visible consumption, almost like a race to use as much oil as possible before it runs out?

We are a country of shopkeeper, that was the dream of a famous PM and that is what we are. What do we have to trade with. this country does not give money away willy nilly it is an aid to trade. It is being cut to give to a star wars project along with cutting peoples pensions for the same.These Gimp MPs and the pm are total dreamers. But if they want to give me a electric a.b.t. transporter then who am I to say no. .also we're in that much debt were is the money coming from once they don't have the oil money coming in . There fxxking dreaming . Our cuntry needs to sort out it's priorities . Stop giving money away to other countries might help too. Let's sort out our own cuntry first .sorry it's a wee bit of topic a bit.
Every thing is going to be put and blamed on COVID19 but I firmly believe that leaving the EU and particularly leaving the EU without a decent trade agreement will make the deprivations of COVIDE19 look small beer. That is it though what people were told they wanted and now we have it. Just have to get on with it I suppose. It will be another generation and another government that might look again. Certainly Younger Generations do not want what was signed up for and they will predominate as time passes by. We are at the mercy and grace of the US and others, thank the what ever, they have a new regime coming on line very soon.Yeah I do get it about the trade and helping the poorest countries but what about our kids future.there are a lot of people in our country that will be struggling for years to come . Help the UK's most needy the next few months and maybe years will be hard .I hope I,m totally wrong . But we will see.
I hear you! This is EXACTLY where my thoughts have been since reading about the government bringing forward its ban on new petrol and diesel vehicles to 2030. It's really not that far off if, like me, you're considering spending such a large amount of hard earned cash on a van for life which could end up worthless in only 10 years if by that point privately owned diesel vehicles have been taxed off the roads and therefore become undesirable second-hand purchases. As it stands at the moment, VW campers give a half-decent return even after so many years' adventures which kind of makes the expense more justifiable to a lot of us. Even hybrid vehicles only get a stay of execution to 2035.Do I order a new T6 now ( for delivery halfway through next year) or do I hold out for a hybrid/electric T7 sometime in the future? A few things going through my mind are the value of my current vehicle, which is a plus, but the resale value of a T6.1 in 5-6 years time? which is.......well, who knows! In 2025-6 will I be able to sell on my old tech T6.1? ( with it's leaking windows) or will I be left with a big lump of metal no one wants anymore?
A new T6 is a massive expense, but that has always been offset by the excellent resale value, but if that resale value is no longer a positive, what do you do? I know none of you have a crystal ball, but your thoughts please.
