More on electric cars.

Twice as many drivers required

True: our airport express bus runs every ten minutes so you don't need a timetable and there's a recognition that this is the ideal for trains, trams and buses. But it would come at a cost.

The atmosphere itself has no concept of toxicity

CO2 is absolutely necessary for most plants to survive

and it's an absolutely necessary constituent of beer

It's nigh on impossible to have a town bus service run to time. Unless you set the journey times at the worst possible, and have it hanging around every other stop when the traffic is light.

And this is relevant precisely *how* to the UK?

But more people using them over the day.

Anything less than 15 minutes means a time table is not needed. Have trains every 5 mins and people will just hop on and off at will.

Nope. Even steel wheels on steel rails deform as they rotate, just not very much.

Maxie, excess CO2 destroys the atmosphere - a known fact. That is it is toxic to our atmosphere. Too much CO2 and we die stone dead.

Look up tidal lagoons. 20% of the Irish Sea lagoon off can provide all the power of the UK & Ireland and maybe a bridge to the Isle of Man and Ireland.

10% of the Irish Sea and others in the North Sea can also do it.

Maxie, they will lose the will to live if CO2 is emitted. They will all be stone dead.

On a personal basis, I guess I won't have any will after I stop emitting CO2, or at least just the kind that's read out to my friends and family!

Pray tell which part of the atmosphere CO2 destroys? Which of the many gasses in particular does it destroy?

So what about an atmosphere that is almost entirely CO2, then, like on Venus. Does that destroy itself?

How would you do that and where ?..

Thats practical of course...

Yes we know your gaff has walls a metre thick, but how can you retrofit all that ??...

Dam from the hills North of London to the Downs South of London. Flood the Thames Valley. A desirable side effect would be to get rid of all the politicians when London drowned.

where would you get the water from without pumping it in?

There's a river or several running into that area, in case you'd not noticed... It's at least a thousand square miles of cachment area for hydro. For tidal, a barrier from Sheerness to Southend would do a reasonable job, with a decent reservoir area and a three or four meter difference between high and low water.

Or you could use nuclear power to pump it in from the Channel.

yes, but if you dam higher of the source of the river, it will take a very long time to fill up
