Oh dear, it was I who started this thing off
I was not "trolling". I am very concerned that all our cars seem to get bigger and fancier. I used to own an 848cc Mini. It would propel 4 of us at 70mph no problem. Why do we all seem to need gas guzzling monsters to drive around in.
Second point, if the planning authorities made us put solar panels on every new home, then before long we would not need power stations.
If gallon of petrol takes us say 40 miles (sorry, too hard to convert to metric), how many solar panels would we need to charge up the 4 litre 4WD with one driver, to go the same distance.
How many cars are there in the world, and how many solar panels or gallons of petrol would we need to power them?
Your answer, Xelasnave, is correct.......back to horses
