Reading King and Walker's The Hot Topic got me away from thinking in terms of panaceas. It's about a little of this, a little of that. But one possible panacea I have heard of, though, but it will take a lot of initial investment, is the idea of a geo-stationary solar power generating space station,...

I just don't think that the 10 year target to achieve oil free transport is possible without HUGE changes. The 10 year target wasn't in my original blog. I only chose it, because that is what Shai Agassi claimed his scheme would provide. He claims it would only need a 6% increase. If you don't thin...

Hi Shelley Please do not take offence because of the views of the 3 BVS members who have replied to you so far. There are hundreds of us, all with different views. I'm fine. It's cool. :-) I was just a bit shocked at what seemed like an overnight mass flame. I got a more sympathetic response from N...

I am sorry if I offended you, but I hope you realise that while I share with you a hatred for a certain president I don't feel like blaming a whole country for it. Who said anything about blaming the whole country. I'm from the US myself, dual national now. You are assuming a lot. I wanted to find ...

I'm sorry to have invaded our private techy space. I can see I have come to the wrong place. For what it's worth I have an electric car, and was on Nikki's private mailing list before she was, and remember her introduction. I just haven't been very active recently. Bush wants to spend money on sucki...

How about just a general campaign to get off oil for ground transport within 10 years (sort of like the climate change bill), not necessarily advocating any particular way of doing it, but simply holding up such things as the possibility of what I have advocated and other plans such as Shai Agassi's...

Electrical Vehicle Campaign

In spite of the recent fuel crisis, transport still seems to be conspicuously absent in environmental campaigns. After complaining about this considerably so a FoE member, I've been encouraged to take it on myself. So I've been sending the following letter to a number of people in power. I intereste...

BVS Visit to Warrington FoE?

I'm in the Warrington Friends of the Earth, and after talking to them about electric cars a bit, have gotten some interest from the group. I talked to them a bit about the BVS and it was suggested that I see if some people from the BVS would be willing to come to one of our meetings and give a a lit...
