At 1.60 petrol is cheap isn't it madweekend ?
Mar 21^st, 2012 at 10:04pm

ULP to rise to $1.60 for the next two weeks !!

Some how renewable energy is always expensive but petrol is never expensive to madweekend even though the cost of fossil fools are always rising Wink

As well, electric vehicles will always be a bad idea to madweekend no matter how expensive petrol is. Even if you offset your electric consumption using rooftop PV arrays electric cars are still a bad idea to Luddites like madweekend Cheesy

LOL

That's why we need an all Australian designed electric car or plugin hybrid.

But where is the payoff to the taxpaying consumer for the the 6 billion dollar green car innovation fund ??

Nowhere to be seen of course !!

So long as the oil majors are making squillions on fossil fuel, you will never get an electric car!

Invent one that that looks like the car of the future, and you will be swimming with the fishies that afternoon. Grin
