The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

I'm holding fire on the vehicle front until electric either becomes unavoidable, more practical, cheaper or compulsory.
I'll probably buy a much newer diesel CRV in a couple of years time and run it until it becomes impractical.
I certainly won't be splashing out loads of dosh on a new vehicle whilst there is so much uncertainty in the market.

I suppose so. I hate to see a grown man cry so yes, even yours

Unable to improve on Welsh Dragons, I'll leave you be.

My Mondeo will be 22 years old in June as they say when it's gone it's gone will not be replacing it, not unless I win the lottery.

I think hydrogen is the way to go once they make producing hydrogen cheaper and the necessary network. It will be cleaner than electric with a range equivalent to diesel cars and refuelling in minutes.

My boy did not appear pleased to be at the vets.

LPG?

Aye, I think hydrogen will be the way forward too. Solar powered electrolysis machines would be able to crack all the hydrogen you like for near instantaneous fill ups.

What about all of the water vapour emitted as exhaust?
I bet that would have some unintended consequences to the climate.

Well, it might get a bit sweaty out there.

Time to invest in flood defence companies

It might rain more in Wales.....

What about the dangers of the fuel itself
"According to the American National Standards Institute, hydrogen requires only one 10th as much energy to ignite as gasoline does. A spark of static electricity from a person's finger is enough to set it off."
