To be fair (I do try to be) airport security is really really important. Just imagine if people were allowed to bring a bottle of water onto an airplane. Just imagine the carnage if it exploded.

Almost certainly worth adding the pneumatics to the FC. Most PCP rifles are designed to run at the top end of the power output. You can use the bigger ammo too. Must admit I know nothing about...

It really is a crackpot world isn't it? You can be arrested and charged for carrying a penknife. WTAF is wrong with people that we allow this or more worrying actually think it is a good idea and...

They should never have been banned. The biggest problem with the gun laws is the police who do everything possible to say no to any application. They bitch and moan that it is "taking resources"...

Could be a long wait.

Harder to hide it under your jacket though :D

Wow, it is worse than I thought. I always understood the UK team went to France to practice/shoot. Do you know if the club rules were modified post ban? I know one or two people that were forced...

Pistol shooting took place in France because the UK olympic team cannot own a handgun so cannot live here or work here or practice their sport here.

Bargain hunt?

Not just them. What about the ones that have not factored in sea level increase. France and the UK just for starters :D

I wonder if the hydrogen engine or some similar power source like a fuel cell is a good bet for rail power? A lot of the reasonable hesitancy towards hydrogen for road transport would not apply for...

The pantograph powered trucks could easily be self driving. At least to the extent that a number of them could be controlled by the driver in the front vehicle. Once at the end of the motorway you...

The problem with all the figures is whether they are accurate or not. I am sure that someone somewhere has the correct figures for the present technologies. I do not and I have no means to verify...

You seem quite adamant that nuclear is the only answer. If that is so then you have to give the developing countries the power stations for free and we will have to pay for it. I agree completely...

That is interesting tec. Thanks for posting.

I never said it was fair - life is not fair. You seem quite emotional about your transport if you don't mind me saying..

Start over - some people cannot afford to change their cars. Some people...

Yes. Not just in financial or CO2 costs either. People have invested emotionally in personal transport and are locked into their way of thinking in so many ways. Electric powered vehicles are...

Your mum extends her sympathy.

The motoring lobby want you off the road ;)

The costs of the Iraq war are hidden in the respect that they come from taxation. Decommissioning old nuclear plant is the same, it is tax not actual cost on the electric consumer. I have to agree...

I'm fairly sure it is the same price in other countries. (I agree the money spent on Trident could have paid for a massive energy program and would have been better spent)



Probably why not...

The oil companies and their apologists have spent billions (enough to fund renewables twice over IMPO) to convince people to carry on using their products even if it kills 90% of human life. We need...

Have you not already left? I thought you had a job and everything?

Hmmmph. Didn't know this....

I understand that there are new materials available based on carbon technology that can carry electric for long distances with little loss of power unlike copper. Once again it is cost/benefit that...

Getting shut of NFT currencies would help. Bitcoin mining is a major source of CO2 to create something that doesn't exist and is worthless unless you "believe".
