A lot of what he says on this video is fairly well known, some stuff I didn't know about. He has written over 100 books some of them very successful and one made into a film. From what I can see he has a lot of letters after his name more than you me or anyone on this forum, so coming from someone who complains about spelling mistakes, please give me evidence of why you say that he is a crank?

Just put his name into Google and read David.

Also look back on this Forum about how he was ridiculed about his claims re coronavirus.

My quote above handles some of the facets but other pages on the same web discusses many energy and environment issues including the energy supply. Please just remember that these 300-odd pages were largely written over 4-5 years ago.

Its a bit like the old "smoking isnt really bad for you brigade", You can never convince everyone, and there really is no point in trying.

I would say that in Cyprus you need to be assured that there is suitable maintenance available, and that you use solar to charge your vehicle. Far from being a problem on electricity loads, they will soon be giving you money to keep your ev connected to the grid and pay you if the grid needs extra oomph.
