I see our grid being already almost at the limit (weren't blackouts being predicted by 2012-2015?)

Yeah er, we're at about 80% capacity with new powerlines, methods of generating and new power stations being built, 80% is not "almost at the limit", not by a long shot.

I'm not sure it is key personally, what is key is that the investment is sufficient and that the things are well run and managed.

But as you know from my previous postings on the topic, I want to see 50-50 private/public partnerships for the things anyway (and only if no private backing can be found then 100% government venture selling off a stake later down the line)


I don't expect things to happen overnight, but after 13 years of "good times" I would have expected to have several builds under construction already with far more planned.

I expect us to have a building boom similar to what China is doing, to future proof our power generation.


One of the problems they had (initially) was planning permissions and places to locate the charging stations.

Secondly the cars are only just arriving (a slower start than some other countries mainly due to the fact that we only have one "home" automaker with an interest, BMW with the MINI).

However, we all know that the future is battery electric, so government needs to step in and ensure that infrastructure is build


Yes it does, but we are over 8 years away from 2020 ... so even if the new cars are not out by 2015 with the tweaked technology - that leaves 5 years to replace 50% of cars. It all depends on price and how economy is doing.


I know you were, but I fail to see any justification for why 80% is too much.
With increased demand at night to charge things it could well see the "base" use rise to 80% of maximum.

I seem to remember him saying he was unemployed in that interview thread he started the other week where his car broke down on the way.

How can such a talented mind be out of employment.
 
He's an expert in reading and re-hashing other peoples work to make him look smart.

However this means his posts never flow correctly, so his posts look like various extracts from textbooks / wiki cobbled together.

One day he might grow out of the 'i always know best' attitude and actually listen to people who have a job in that industry instead of trying to argue against them from behind a wall of amended quotes.
