So the whiny wet liberal Kryten drives a dirty old landrover and its his.

[Dangerous2]

he is making a good point though.

i think he approaches this from an engineering point of view and an interest in the technology, as well as a position that more efficient technology is better. I don't think he is approaching this from a greenpeace type of angle...

[thinfourth2]

Exactly the same way look at electric cars, just with the added loathing of petrol stations.

I think anyone who hates electric cars on principle is a little bit mad.

[Dangerous2]

the interesting part of that video was where he said that for £70 (ish) he could run an electri car for 6000 miles.

better buy one now then, whilst the government are giving you £5000 towards it. Once they become popular, I cna forsee a massive whacking great tax on car purchase prices to offset the lost revenue from the tax on fuel and the tax on the tax on fuel.

Did you actually watch the clip that you posted? He makes some very, very good points indeed and I am certainly not a whiny wet liberal.

I think Thinfourth was being deliberately perverse.

Excellent video.

Exactly, compare the Op's comment on PH to the other comments and thumbs up on Youtube. By the way, dosn't this belong in the youtube thread, being that it came from youtube?

Actually if you look at some of krytens other youtube channels he descibes himself as the whiny wet liberal.

I have alot of time for him to be honest.

Interesting clip that, but as always with the "spin" of the reviewer:

Ultimate greenness: I think most of the studies done "cradle to grave" actual rate the landrover defender as one of the greenest cars wrt CO2 over their life (last for ever, very few plastics, very recyclable, and they don't get driven for lots of miles (mainly becuase you go deaf if you try lol)

Costs: Land Rover defenders simply don't seem to depreciate! (i was astonished when i looked at the costs of 90's last year!) In the UK, depreciation is still the single biggest cost of new car ownership, and because electric cars have only just come out, you can't not have a new one!


He also seemed to think that all the moving parts in the landrovers transission was a issue?? well, tbh, the electric car will have most of those parts too, it still needs wheel bearing, halfshaftsm gears, bearing etc etc etc. And in case you haven't noticed, even though the average IC engine has reciprocating parts that fly backwards and forwards at 20m/s we have got pretty dam good at getting them to be reliable (Most modern cars now breakdown due to er, electrical faults............. lol)




Also the Costs of fuels arguments was skewed by the current situation of taxation (which we KNOW is going to change once it reaches the mass adoption tipping point) (i.e. he put in £68 of diesel, but actually only 25% or so was the "real" fuel cost!
