 Topic: Electric car breaks land speed recordPosted: 27-September-2012 at 11:57 |

T'is a sad day, an electric car has taken the land speed record.
I wonder though, how long it took to charge up each time and how much energy has been wasted in it charging up and down a track?
It ran using power generated by windfarms which when it's too windy, generate too much electricity and have to be shut down and the windfarm owner is then paid compensation by the energy companies for having to be shut down. I mean FFS!

1000mph on land? FFS!  p.s. I actually saw [and touched
 ] Thrust SSC after the run, and got Andy Green and Richards Noble's autographs on a poster which adorns my dining room wall.  |
