This isn’t actually a pint of a Guiness, it’s a “Juice point” – I noticed one of these while in London on a stag do the other weekend. Good to see these sprouting up, and in general it’s got to be a good thing.

One carp, of course, is that electric cars aren’t green because in the UK they run on electricity which, according to fuelmix.co.uk, is 70% fossil-fuel generated at the moment. That should, we hope, improve as time goes on, and obviously compares favourably to a normal car which is 100% fossil-fuel driven. What would be interesting to know, though, is whether burning fossil fuel and converting it into energy, transmitting it to the cars is more or less efficient than just burning it in the car direct. Anyone know the stats?
