It was apparently bought by DLT after the series finished. I love UFO, it's repeated on Forces TV occasionally. The titles were incredible, was mesmerised by the shiny short skirts!

Electric car batteries are only in their early days yet .. There is a great deal more to do, including solutions for those whoonly have on street parking.
Remember this word .. Graphene.

There sure is, including sourcing the rare earth minerals that they are made with, most of the land deposits which are known are in the hands of the Chinese who are buying up land in Afghanistan, Africa & anywhere else where it exists.
Batteries are not recyclable btw & inevitably the returned Chinese versions end up in landfill sites.
Personal transport has no long-term future imo.

Tora,
Gas and coal generation were turned off for half of the year. Wind, solar and Nuclear coped without the coal and gas fossil fuels, in 2020. Renewables overtaking fossil fuels over the year for the first time.

Twenty years ago, 20 million people turning their kitchen light on during the ad break during Corrie was enough to put pressure on supply.
Now we have low energy lighting, all domestic boilers have been replaced with energy efficient ones, grants for insulation, smart meters and household appliance are now low energy. Consumption has gone down.
https:/
But that is beside the point. Cars, phones, laptop and other devices are all recharged during the night when consumption is low and availability is high.
Scaremongering about having to build more nuclear power stations is not true. Rubbish put about by Jeremy Clarkeson petrolhead fans.

"Gas and coal generation were turned off for half of the year. " - I didn't mention fossil fuels but I remember a fanfare last year when we went a week without using coal:

So I think I'd have heard about it if they were turned off for 6 months.
yes I agree that much of the new power usage will be at night but there will also be lot more in the day than now, If we can't get fusion viable then we'll struggle without new nuclear power stations lest we have to fall back on fossil fuels.
