Times are changing

it wont matter soon cos the sun is fkt with a big hole in it.

Is that why it keeps missing us.

I don't go with all this eco bull. It's just governments and industries creating fear and making money from it. A load of old tosh. The changes in the weather could just as easily be a natural change of relativity and time in space. The sun is dying and cooling down. The Moon is drifting further away affecting the tides etc etc etc. The rest of the planets in our solar system are moving and changing all the time which also affect us.

yes. but aside from all the eco shite, there is a big hole in the sun.
apparently it was hit by a comet last year and it ripped a hooj triangular hole in it.
have a look at the nasa stuff on google and youtube.
doesnt look good tbh but what ho. not a lot we can do about it is there lol :/

Now where's my Millennium Falcon.

Chewy come on.

I just wonder where all the electricity is to come from? We didn't replace our nuclear capacity soon enough and we may have insufficient for day to day use in the future, let alone with electric vehicles. It's the range and costs that are unrealistic at the moment.

That is a very good point Paul, and with solar panels being placed on farms by the acre, we're loosing valuable arable land which will be needed for growing food in the future.

IMHO until cars etc can produce enough electricity so they can recharge their own batteries as they go it's a bit pointless in buying one to go green. OK it's stopped the pollution from the vehicle's engine that normally burns petrol or diesel, but to me they've only moved it to the plants generating the electricity.

Chris.

The acreage of solar etc is minuscule compared to land not in production etc - because it's not as cheap ATM doesn't mean don't do it I reckon. We rely on a part of the world that is increasingly heading back to a soviet type way for gas, oil is only going one way price wise, and if places like Portugal can be 60% eco powered, so can we. Waves are our thing I reckon.

Ecologically the best thing we could do. Is reduce the population of the world. Or just let nature take it's course and do it for us

So you have to make a choice....
A) Ride your bike burning all those precious natural resources
B) procreate

You can only chose one to help save the planet

YUp the bike wins

i was on the roof of a really really big warehouse the other day and it was completely covered with solar panels . i asked the bloke at the warehouse what they were doing with all that electric and he said that his company had a deal with the utility company and they rented the roof area for the purpose of installing these solar panels. not uncommon apparently

Don't worry the Americans will be making a faster than light ship, in an underground bunker ready to send Bruce Willis with a big lighter to turn the sun back on, it was probably them that caused the problem by testing weapons of mass destruction, so they have to sort it.

Lasers could replace spark plugs. This BBC article is for cars, but if they are thinking about cars how long before bikes get them.

How long before the lazer burns a hole in the position crown :-)

[VTRDark]

Piston crown. I suppose the laser would be made so it's not strong enough to burn holes but it's a very good point. I mean lasers come in all different flavours from low spec pointy things to wind cats up to laser burning layers of the eye's surface and industrial laser cutters to full on space wars style laser weapons.
