Potential breakthroughs in solar technology

Wow I really like the look of those.. I just dont trust tesla ! But this is exactly how we need to advance if we have any hope of replacing fossiel fuel.

Electric cars are a bit of a myth, no one asks where they get the power from  or how much draw they are. Or how far you actually have to drive one until it becomes carbon neutral..Or how dangerous they are when scrapped or in a crash. Its not pretty reading ..

I live in a neighbourhood built in the 1930's Much of the wiring system dates from that time although the cables have been re-newed the system is basically the old one.  In the past year the council have put in at least 6 electric charging points in 4 neigbouring streets earlier this year 'something' overloaded the system and caused the main junction box to over heat and catch fire leaving us without power for 8 hours while generators were bought in then one by one streets were re -routed and re connected.

Without stating the cause the council covered most of the charging poles ..

Two windmills would have lasted just as long, produced just as much power and been much less intrusive..
