2000 households in 5 years? with 40,000,000 households in the UK alone, that'd take 100,000 years!!

Yes, I know I'm being stooopid.

Have you read the stats on the SIZE of these things ?, they are massive. If the predictions are correct, we should look forward to some pretty big cars coming onto the market, similar in size to a Space Shuttle. :o

Oh, that reminds me!!!. :driving:

So this might be the technology that stores the power from wind and solar. No more arguing, "What do you do when the sun doesn't shine or the wind doesn't blow".

That's gona stuff the anti green energy brigade.

PS Legion found this from a new feed I added "Emerging Technology".
