From Trevor Boardman, Chandler's Ford, Hampshire, UK
I was taken aback by Hamer’s report of electric buses. I have spent most of my life thinking electric transport was a joke. Now I wonder where it would be today if the money spent on oil exploration and developing internal combustion engines had gone on battery development.
By now would we have had electric transport that surpasses current systems? How much was battery technology constrained by scientific knowledge and how much of a part did oil interests play? How angry should we be?
