Historical charts here for 88e now only go back three years in this new layout whereas they went back five 3 years on the old layout and whereas on the older NatWest charts went back over 15 years.
So historical discussions are being seriously eroded as the data disappears.
Will have to look elsewhere for good data.

Don't worry, the marine industry is switching over from heavy fuels to gas which will replace the shortfall as new houses are built without gas cookers. Ultimately the future plans there are to develop hydrogen cell power. Wind and solar are currently too inconsistent and bulky to take over.
Ships will have to refuel in UK making gas supply necessary.
Don't rely on the truck market as signs are they will also develop hydrogen power plants.
Even the advantages shoved down our throats about electric cars take a hit when you consider the emissions produced to manufacture them. Similar to current carbon fuel cars,but add on 12 tonnes of carbon emissions to produce an average battery.
Doesn't put hybrid drive cars in a very good position!

Just read the last nine months share chat! Some telling comments.
Things seem to go well here and then something seems to put a spanner in the works.
Sorry, count me out

I'm staying in here longterm.

My understanding is that petroleum usage is very seasonal,
When its summer here it's winter down there.

'Wowww, massive jump up on close, from 0.5p to 3.6p.'
Really?
I think that has really flabbering my gast.

" I usually go to the pub for a beer off of an evening ".
Some people completely ignore the rules of the english language and make up whatever comes to mind. The use of 'so' at the beginning of a statement is so irrritating and totally unecessary.
Blathering for the sake of it.

I believe aytch was the original spelling of aitch, but is now the official spelling according to dictionaries
However english develops over the years and is still a beautiful language if used properly Too much corruption too quickly and I grit my teeth.
Reading old english is like reading a foreign language as modern english probably will be in years to come, but let it flow beautifully for as long as possible.
Stu*f the american versions, our versions are smoother..

Cube roots of negative numbers are a lot easier.
One minus and plus cancel out leaving you with a minus

There/Their/ They're you go again, LeMajor

Got me going now, it's pedant, not pendant.
Try again!

My pet hate (not pendant, that's a locket, medallion, amulet) is people who pronounce H as 'haitch' instead of the correct 'aitch'.
UGH.

Please dont shout at me for this question as I am only qurious.
I bet you're curious as well

Yes, Swedish Environmental Institute on behalf of Swedish Transport Administration and Swedish Energy Agency. Obviously preparing to plan ahead on informed knowledge, not taking chances. At least there are some people who realise there is no such thing as zero emissions.

There is also another report with similar findings, from Germany I think.
Google appropriate questions and I'm sure you will find lots of similar reoprts.

Agree.
Swedish report indicates tonnes of carbon emitted during manufacture of battery alone.
Carbon generated during infrastructure build to generate additional electricity.
Carbon breakeven point miles and miles (years) down the road.

Over 50% of Sweden's energy is produced by green means.
The report on CO2 is produced by the Swedish Environment Institute, on behalf of the Swedish Transport Administration and the Swedish Energy Agency who investigated the climate impact of lithium-ion batteries from a life-cycle perspective.
China is reported to have 500,000 electric buses, USA has 1000. So we can see where Versarien's market push should be.

Will using graphene in the battery's construction help to reduce the massive production of CO2 emitted during its construction? If so we are onto a really useful use of graphene. The Sweden Transportation Institute have issued a report that indicates that 17.5 tonnes of CO2 are emitted during construction of a battery for a Tesla car which is fitted with the largest battery considered and considerably increases the CO2 produced compared to a similar sized diesel car.This does also depend whether the battery is manufactured using green energy (renewables) or coal powered energy manufacture and influences the break even time to obtain a total reduction in CO2 production.
Interesting delemma, don't you think?

'Why break a language that isn't broke?'
I used 'broke' as a deliberate corruption to demonstrate how easily the language can be misused.

Spelling and grammer are always significant.
Let's stay ahead of the Yanks who make it up as they go along.
Why break a language that isn't broke?

'Plus Tesla have plans to remove steering wheel and all pedals in some vehicles by 2020.'
So I can't freewheel my car down my drive which is on a slope and turn halfway down ready to drive off later?
Would it be able to drive down a long unmade track to a farmhouse?
Would it be able to reverse with a boat trailer down a hard to get the boat in the water?
No.
Does that mean there will be a non-autonomus version?
Etc., etc., etc..
Does being 'fullly' autonomous include no hand brake?
