the Government are investing in a truly bizarre scheme concerning electric cars.
The notion is
The cars will be charging up while everyone is at work. Really? where?How?
Imagine the infrastructure!!
When they get home during the peak power consumption hour the cars will download power into the National Grid, then charge back up again when demand is low and utilise cheap power from the wind farms to do so.
And how many houses are close enough to the vehicles to do that?
And think of the losses in the process!
And who pays for this power?
As Baldric of Blackadder might observe, "Sir, I have a clever plan"
the problem is that it is so full of holes it makes the average colander seem like a watertight vessel.
The Morning rush hour should be amusing as demand skyrockets and everyone unplugs to head for work!
Shades of the old "Andy Capp" cartoon, where he switches of the heat and shouts to Flo "Put yer coat on woman, I'm goin' out!"
More fruit from the Money tree wasted!
Lets look at this pragmatically, it is after all a Business Plan that puts Brexit in the shade.
a quick thinking Technical Agency/ consultancy should be able to fleece the Government for years with such a scheme, with a few pilot schemes showing imaginary promise, before giving themselves and the shareholders eye watering payouts and going "Belly up!"
Highly Commended, and they already have their foot in the door as the Government is desperate to show how the new High Tech Brexit UK will be World leading in energy conservation.
"The goodness will flow"
The Caveat being when a thing looks too good to be true.........
And things that "Flow" usually do downhill.
Enough of this Remoaner pessimism, lets see a bit of "Honest Graft" I believe it's called.
