and here is the joke - also from tim blair's blog

At the Jamestown Commercial Hotel, which helped cater the project’s launch party in September, manager Kerry Hodge said he’d previously had “no idea of who Mr. Musk was.”

“They tried to get me to put in an electric charger for all these electric cars that he said were going to come from China in coming years. But I don’t really believe him,” he said. “We’ve just put in our own diesel generator to keep the power on.”

mmm how many other businesses have installed their own diesel generator??? how many household have raced off to bunnings and bought a petrol generator ???

"mmm how many other businesses have installed their own diesel generator???"

Well you can start with all the growers on the Murray River that rely on a stable electricity supply for their irrigation needs.

No doubt they will be emissions free generators!! LOL
