Recently we watch TV program on the dark side of electric cars, wind turbine, PV panels and batteries. Apparently not much thought has been given to how these are going to be recycled or where and how the base materials are sourced. Already in Germany they upgrading wind turbines and just leaving the old blades on site, does anyone need some glass fibre turbine blades cheap. As always, its the poor and poor countries who are exploited. Also, can the 1920 street wiring cope with the numerous charging point needed. When our street was built, most houses had just lighting and a couple of sockets, no washing machine, tumble driers or immersion heaters those days , so the under ground cable is really slender. A friend who works for local bus manufacture told us that there are two air conditioning systems on the all electric double decker, a large all important one to keep the propulsion system batteries cool, and a lesser one for the customers, and interestingly some of the cable are 800 volt rated.
