If electric will be shit off a shovel.

Being a Renault will be more ambient noise than an afters @ Dr Alex Paterson’s country hideaway.

Mad_Cyril Have read recently about how the piston engines masked a lot of other engine bay noises, and as such manufacturers have had to up their game on all the other components. But, as you have noted, being French, it’ll probably have the consistency of a Brie de Meaux.

How do so many threads become an Amps-MC golf discussion nowadays?

Helsinki still had a coal burning plant in the middle of the city. The green party started to lobby for it’s closing 10 years, and were met with arguments that it’s impossible. It closed today.

Homegrove Its amazing how much the UK uses gas to generate electricity, almost 43% fossil fuels over the last year

What is worse, coal or gas for emissions?

We are also seeing home gas boilers due to be outlawed due to emissions to use air source heat pumps which use electricity, but hang on, almost half of our electricity is generated by….burning gas

I am surprised how low our generation by nuclear technology is, I’m glad we are at least trying to expand this capability

Also, we’d be fooked without wind generation, we are very lucky to have lots of coastline with plenty of wind.

The question is, how are other countries without this natural advantage looking to achieve net zero? For example Germany?

Hursty we have an air pump. We heat our whole house with it when it’s over -5 C outside. When it dips below that we open a few radiators, which are heated with oil, same as our hot water. There are air pump-systems powerful enough to replace our oik furnace too, but they cost about 10K so we’re still saving money for it. We’re in no rush, as we only go through about 1000 litres of heating oil per year.

What are your views on the low carbon city transport option of e-scooters @Amps?

It would appear they are heading to the ban list in some places, citing issues around safety, even though people die or are injured no matter whether they walk, cycle, or drive to work

Seems like it could be a way to ensure taxes are buoyed by banning them? There isn’t much tax revenue generated from their use, no CAZ income etc

There’s a conspiracy in there if you’re willing to look hard enough

Hursty They’re a lovely idea, but the reality has it’s issues. I think somewhere like Amsterdam they make a lot of sense, but most of the western world just doesn’t have the infrastructure for them. If we focused on more dedicated hard kerbed cycle lanes for cyclists it’d be a start.

As ever, the government has no interest in getting the tiny penis crew out of their twat panzers, an easy to solve problem, so they’re not about to make any big pay outs for for bike infrastructure any time soon.

Cankles-McJeggings

Manchildren who need to grow the fuck up and prepubescent miscreants in charge of fucking killing machines. How they passed any form of road traffic safety or even the most basic of health and safety risk assessments I have no fucking idea.
Death traps for both rider and pedestrian. I fucking hate them and any cunt who rides one.

Hursty

Cankles-McJeggings Lol, do you have them in the outback?

Amps Oulu is one of the best biking cities in Finland, take a look at where it is on a map.

The e-scooters work well here in Istanbul. Granted, health & safety isn’t a concept here so there could be hundreds dying on the roads here without me knowing.

Thanks again for your time.

Regards.
