Makes me think a wide scale revolution should be undertaken.

Makes me even more mad to be in the western world now.

    where do you think electricity comes from? not the sun, unless its a solar panle car, which are shit.

    i think in this modern day and age, water is the way to go. the gov't could build water slides all around the country and we could all float casually to work.

    But as Winstom rightfully pointed out, its much more enviromentally friendly to power our cars from the mains.

    Petrol is so inefficient. It's easier to monitor controll polution from one largre unit i.e. the power station than it is millions of cars, some poorly maintained.

    I know your at work so your forgiven but watch the video in its entirety to get the full picture Mile.

    We just got an electric delivery van at work, a couple of weeks ago. Apparently it only costs something like 2p/mile to run versus about 20 times that for a diesel van. The local power station is a combined cycle gas turbine (one of the most efficient in the world - in addition, waste heat is used to heat the swimming pool nearby) so it'll certainly be better for the air in town than the diesel it replaces.

    I agree, when i was 5 years old i had a little red car which i had to use my feet to get moving and also use the pedals. I was fit as anything back then, granted being older if i had to use a larger version of that car it would take a fair while to 'drive' to Tescos and back but the effect on the environment would be null.

    A C5 Make a idea car for you then matey. Shame they never made a four seater. Surely four people, four sets of pedals?? It would have all ballanced our right?
