I am sorry, Mr Hamilton, I do not believe for one moment that making this kind of vehicle and racing it will ever be "environmentally friendly". In the first place, the locations, such as the Amazon, Alaska and Saudi Arabia have never been proposed as the epitome of environmental friendliness, rather the opposite. So, it seems probable that loads of dirty carbon fuel will be used to generate the electricity consumed by these monster cars. It also seems probable that vast areas of pristine land will be destroyed by these goliaths.Extreme E: Lewis Hamilton helping make racing environmentally friendly
Apart from the uselessness of such a project, which could never be translated into producing cars for the ordinary man in the street, may I suggest that, in your moment of glory as the leading racing driver, you may have allowed yourself to go beyond the realms of environmental decency. You may pretend to be the archetype of nature protection but your job, as a racing driver, precludes this pretension.
If you were to develop economical electric vehicles with sufficient autonomy for the average man in the street, that would be a different matter. In some ways, this could be considered sensible, even though there is not sufficient electrical energy available to run large numbers of cars equivalent to a mid-range car.
Better still, if you wish to spend large sums of money on new projects, I have one for you, Mr Hamilton. I suggest that you develop thorium power stations of a size to provide the electricity for a town with a population of between about 100,000 and 500,000. This is a sine qua non of the future of large-scale electrical transportation, the E-car, the E-bus and the E-lorry.
