June 2008 £1.33 a litre. Then just over a year later I was down to 93p again. Folks were saying at £1.33 that it'll never ever go back down again, but it did. Just imagine what an electric / hydrogen revolution would do to the oil price? I again go back to mobile phones and the year of 1987. A guy walked into a bar I used to work part time in. He had a massive battery he had to carry in a case, and a full sized handset. We were all amazed. I never thought for a minute I would ever own one. But I do. |

GBC, you can get much smaller ones now and the battery is integral. They do just as good a job. You should get a modern one as soon as you can - you could put your back out carrying that battery.

I reckon that the oil companies and piston engine manufacterers (i.e. the car factories) conspire against any move away from petrol/diesel.... how would HMG tax a water based power plant/additive, etc? |

I think they own a lot of the patents for alternative power. wannabeeahack wrote: how would HMG tax a water based power plant/additive, etc?
They wouldn't. Instead the tax would be on the engines themselves, so a new engine would be £30,000 but from then on it would be free to run. Or they'd just increase all the other taxes to make up the shortfall. |

Road pricing? possibly but can they do it on more than motorways and dual carriageways? i could (with effort) avoid these all day/every day unless they could come up with satellite tracking, which i dont think they fancy, big brother and all that maybe a bill annually based on your vehicles mileage between MOTs..... |
