That's in keeping with current trends When Gov taxes have rendered energy,personal transport, air, land and water unaffordable for the masses it'll be Fred Flintstone time. Yabadabadoo Ryan air are making their biggest profit in history , cruise ships are getting bigger and cheaper. ,isn't that all for the masses ? Where do you draw the line between consumerism and luxury? Got to keep the plebs spending what bit they'll have left

Got to keep the plebs spending what bit they'll have left The topic that always brings me back to the question..........how can they keep pushing electric cars, or regulations that appear to be anti-car ownership on the grounds of pollution while happily allowing air travel (most of it for holidays) to get cheaper and cheaper. People don't have to have foreign holidays to survive but most do have to drive to work or to do their shopping. Anyone noticed how UK media is full of advertising for companies that buy cars.?

Got to keep the plebs spending what bit they'll have left You can't have it both ways houpla , either the masses can't travel due to the expence , or they can travel due to the low costs!

Yabadabadoo The Government bucked the old I = V/R idea where it is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance.

But isn't that the point? Government is a balancing act between bleeding the populations as dry as possible while still allowing capitalism to function primarily for the benefit of the few. It's not a new thing.

Potential, current or resistance?

The major selling point ( on the adverts) for Electric Cars is that they are good for the environment. One has to ask , for whose environment ? I would say, for those that can afford to pay their price. Certainly not for those that provide the metals to build them ? At least those involved in getting these metals have employment. Many factories employ robots.
