Buzzing to B&Q

Rain so DIY tasks - buzzing to B&Q in SAAB x 3. Watching drizzle fall waiting for the sun to spring the classics.

Another article on why electric cars won't save the planet. Too much energy loss converting from initial material to electricity and then replacement batteries.

An suburban fantasy where we all have garages to charge them over night from solar power - oh but at night it's dark...

Save oil for cars - not synthetic crops and throw away plastics.

America now producing bio-fuel from algae.
