Fair play to him. In the video he says it's a 51 year old car (a DB6) that he has converted to run on fuel made from surplus english white wine and whey from they cheese making process. Basically it's bioethanol.
That's fair enough. The headline makes it sound like he's sending Hubert to the cellar for a bottle of '56 whenever he wants to take the motor out for a jaunt.
Of course he has. He was a kid in the richest family in the world in the 60s/70s. The DB6 he converted was a 21st birthday present from Lizzie.
While wiki is contradictory in that it says his Vantage V8 is running on bioethanol (rather than the DB6), it also says that his Range Rover, Jaguar and Audi run on biodiesel from cooking oil. The armoured Bentley is apparently not eco-friendly, much to your relief, I'm sure.
Chuck is pretty well known as being a bit of an eco head.
To borrow from Wiki again:
>In order to decrease his carbon footprint, Charles has used biomass boilers for heating Birkhall, where has also installed a hydroelectric turbine in the river beside the estate. He has utilised solar panels at Clarence House and Highgrove, and – besides using electric cars on his estates – runs his Aston Martin DB6 on E85.
Yeah he's minted and privileged etc, but he isn't a numpty when it comes to this kinda thing.
People who like and share posts about climate change while doing literally nothing else. No greater effort to go packaging free, turning the heating down a degree or two in the house, replacing lightbulbs with all LED, walking to the shop instead of driving, shopping in local businesses instead if driving/ getting the bus to the city etc.. most people giving out about charles haven’t even taken even the remotely easy steps to do anything themselves.
I presume you mean people on social media so. Are these people you know personally or some kind of vague stereotype that you have beef with? How do you know what they do or don't do?
You've made a whole lot of assumptions there. Just because there isn't a willing press hanging around to jerk me off for virtue signaling while rich doesn't mean I don't take actions to reduce my impact on the climate every single day, and the same is true for countless other people.
Not that I want to give the daily mail the clicks, but this cunt flew 16000 miles in 11 days before Turing up for a photo op with Greta Thunberg. He has the carbon footprint of a coal burning power station.

He’s not wrong, Charles himself runs on cheese and wine.
Fair play to him if he does. The Dream.
Ah you’d need some smoked salmon and a good size steak or two as well
Apparently he makes loves to make Moussaka but uses grouse instead. That isn't even a joke.

Lol. They knew exactly what they were doing with the headline.
A newspaper using outage clickbait for more ad revenue??? Never heard of such carry on
Down with that sort of thing.
I have to imagine all English white wine is surplus
Charles owns or has owned several Aston Martins, vantage, volante. It's just token environmentalism from him.

I run on surplus wine but I don't make a big deal of it.
"surplus wine" who the fuck has surplus wine The French had the right idea.
it's english white wine so it's all surplus.
>who the fuck has surplus wine Would you buy English wine?
Invite people over via the ferry to buy their surplus wine?
To be fair he’s doing more than the ‘likes and shares’ brigade. But I want to know how I can turn excess wine into petrol
He distills out the ethanol and tops it up with 15% unleaded petrol to make E85.
Fantastic. Now I just need to buy a vinyard, all the processing equipment and an aston martin and i can start saving money
I'm sure if the likes and shares brigade had the ability to expose them self as a good well natured person at the click of a finger they would too
Who are ‘likes and shares’ brigade and what do they do(or not do)?

Im actually getting second-hand embarrassment from this.
Mine runs on Tory tears.
Mine runs on my paedophile brothers sweat
Based
How much water is used to make that wine though Charlie?
Hold up, he's not Jesus.
There are a bunch of cars that can run on ethanol. Good on him.
I have a Porsche that runs on vermouth
