Kinetic Energy does not exist.

But Hydrogen does .

Hydrogen is a "fuel"

You cannot operate an engine without fuel - even solar, wind or wave power is fuel

Green hydrogen is produced entirely from renewable electricity, and it expands our renewable energy storage capabilities, allowing us to utilize more renewable electricity and avoid curtailment while reducing emissions in hard-to-electrify sectors.

It is still FUEL

what part of fuel do you not understand. It might not be a fossil fuel, but it is still fuel for your motor engine.

the only way you could run a motor engine without any fuel is if kinetic energy existed

Yep. It’ll fly much higher yet.

My new electric car arrives in 4 weeks. Can’t wait.

What are you going for?

Citroen E-C4. Leasing company we use here has a few in stock and are doing decent enough deals for it to make sense for 3 years. Would've preferred something smaller but Mrs FTC insisted I had something Maureen the Bulldog could also travel safely in.

Never buy a French car or a vauxhall unless it is a Citreon DS.

I was an apprentice mechanic at a Vauxhall dealers back in the late 80's. Incredibly badly built from the off and maintained by even worse dealers.

The original Citroen DS is a thing of beauty.

Good spot. Never lease or buy a French car.

Well the longer this war continues the longer the prices go up I am in Coventry and it’s 1.74 in some places

If you can afford a newer post 66 plate diesel in London with ULEZ etc you can afford to pay the Derv. Still value for money really.

Just filled my (vauxhall) car at 163.9 / litre.

It's a Vauxhall. Isn't filling it up a little hopeful....

I once filled an old Cortina up with £20 of 4-star in Chalk Farm Road. The wag behind the till reckoned I'd put £15 too much in it as there was no way it last long enough to use that much fuel.

I'm quite a fan of Vauxhalls (2nd hand) you get a lot of bells and whistles for your money. Wouldn't buy one new, cos they seem to depreciate like a newspaper. About 15 or 16 years ago I bought a 2.8 Omega automatic, great spec, loads of extras etc. It was just under a year old with about 9,000 miles on the clock. I looked up the list price for that model and those extras and it wasn't far short of £22K new. I bought it (online, unseen) for just under £9.4 K from memory. And never had a bit of trouble with it.

When we could park near the ground I think it was in Mercheson Road where wedged in a small front garden was a Vauxhall Lotus-Carlton decaying sadly. I’ve seen them in my travels going for around 50k

To be honest, Vauxhall were about the same when it came to quality as most mid-range car manufacturers were back then. I had friends working for both Rover and Ford around that time and we could all share horror stories about brand new cars being returned moments after being driven out of showrooms with massive defects. I can remember one guy buying a brand new Senator (remember them?) and bringing it back almost daily for a month with one issue after another. In the end, Vauxhall gave him another in the hope he'd piss off. The replacement was just as bad.

Early 90's mini's were built with such poor quality steel that Rover were taking body warranty claims after 18 months.

Even supposed crap cars built today are worlds ahead of the utter disasters I did my apprenticeship on. And they were apparently much better than the stuff churned out in the 70s.

the only way you could run a motor engine without any fuel is if kinetic energy existed

Food is Fuel spin
Remember though
The wrong kind of fuel isnt good for us .

So we use better fuels than what is
Used now , even if it is still fuel .

Like there are men & then there are men who are rapists
They are still men , so are we saying because you
are a man you are a Rapist ?
Of course you arent !!
