Yes I saw a programme on TV about steam powered plows. Another bonus is that it doesn’t cause as much damage to the land. Only problem I see is that the usual suspects - big oil and tractor manufacturers etc will object, and an electric alternative would need a large amount of investment. Easier...

I’m assuming these figures must apply to trucks as well zed? You can of course add some pretty big solar panels to trucks as well for a small boost in range.

I doubt it somehow, Hydrogen has already been dismissed by many.

Really? There must be some bad press but I’ve seen an awful lots of good stuff. Of course it’s not just Tesla making Electric Trucks. Companies like Mercedes are also making them but they haven’t been able to match the range of the Tesla yet.

It seems the UK could even be an exporter of energy.

Another new video that mentions statins.

This is interesting. https://www.bhf.org.uk/informationsupport/heart-matters-magazine/news/behind-the-headlines/cholesterol-and-statins#:~:text=The lead author Dr Uffe,a prominent campaigner against statins. Edit: And this just popped up on YouTube

Was the socket in direct sunlight? My outdoor socket gets very warm even with nothing plugged into it when it’s sunny.

Agreed. We need to find a way to recycle them or use a different material. I’ve read recently how useful Hemp is and how under used. Apparently Henry Ford wanted to use hemp in car body panels? On solar, this is interesting...

I’ve no idea about the electrics but an electrician on YouTube that installs chargers couldn’t see a problem except some of these sockets aren’t big enough to accommodate the bulk of some EV plugs.

After watching an Alexander van Tulleken video on ultra processed food I started looking more closely at the ingredients of the “food” on supermarket shelves. This has severely curtailed the number of products I’m prepared to buy from them now. I have no idea what effect some of these...

From what I’ve been reading recently, increasing numbers of EV drivers aren’t even buying chargers for their cars. They are “Granny Charging” them instead from a 13A socket. You should use an EV specific socket but they aren’t expensive. A five or six hour overnight charge this way may only add...

“With Huawei offering a 1-km-per-second charging range, an EV with an 80kWh battery and a range of 600 km could easily be charged from 0 to 100% capacity within eight minutes.” https://www.locate2u.com/technology/fast-ev-charging-huawei-tesla-china/#:~:text=These ultrafast units developed...

Why? I read a little while ago that 93% of UK EV drivers recharge over night (at below half the cost per mile of petrol) EV batteries are still in the relatively early days of development and there has been suggestions that including capacitors in the battery could reduce charging times to...

Yes, I used to wonder what they would do with Petrol and Diesel as demand drops. But as you say, they can taylor the process to supply the products that are needed. There was a video about this on YouTube, I’ll see if I can find it.

I’ve known a few people turn wood on a metal lathe without any issues. I’ve done it quite a few times on mine. You just need to find a way of setting up a tool rest on the carriage. Chucks could be a bit of a problem though, you’ll likely need some kind of adapter.
