And of course you'd have to at least double the generating capacity of

renewables don't contribute more than about 15 - 20% of our
electricity supply ATM, without much prospect of that being
significantly increased, battery powered vehicles aren't going to
happen because there won't be the electricity to power them,
regardless of the availability of the batteries.


Which do you think will come first?
A new generation of nuclear power stations in the UK - or nuclear powered
cars?
