I keep trying to resist joining this, but stopping any new licenses wouldn't actually change much as far as emissions go, as the increase in energy use required for the other initiatives proposed for Net Zero would mean we'd need to import it from somewhere else that is liable to have less environmental controls, at potentially a higher cost, which would compound the financial and environmental hit. It's not an option until we have a programme in place to provide a credible alternative, and we're a long way off that.
I'd guess that they're controlled opposition, tolerated and inflitrated by the security services, and providing a safe, harmless outlet for protest and the nature of the protestors will deter the usual extremist nuts, who'd be joining the far-right or ISIS converts or eco-terrorist causes.
Don't forget the Deep State, the WEF and the Hollywood elites. Wondered how long these narratives would take to reach our shores, guess we are five years behind America.
BBC news story today about the dangers of battery powered scooters and bikes going up in flames. Is it because the use of tech is being accelerated faster than the normal step up through innovation, if you see what I mean.
One killed in cargo ship fire in Netherlands - with electric car suspected as the cause The ship had around 3,000 cars on board, according to Dutch broadcaster NOS, and the fire is suspected to have started in one of the 25 electric cars on board, the news service added, citing a spokesperson for the coast guard. https://news.sky.com/story/one-dead...rgo-ship-near-ameland-in-netherlands-12927537
One thing I’m sure we can all agree on is we are slowly but surely destroying our planet. Exhausting the resources and polluting everything. Who would drink from, or even swim in a river these days?
Loads of videos on YT of Chinese Electric buses exploding thankfully when parked overnight... Saw a video of Fire Brigade testing this blanket that goes over the top of a burning EV as they cant use normal stuff to out it out...?
It's because of the EU/Chinese trade deal where there's no third party check on battery-powered vehicles - it's left up to the manufacturer to maintain quality standards before they're shipped over...
This is not an excuse to delay decarbonising, it’s just a story about the abject failure of capitalism in regulating the economy.
It would be a mighty long YouTube video that depicts petrol and diesel cars leaping into flames by the roadside. Any vehicle poorly maintained or tended to has a fire risk, surely.
About twenty five years ago, I had a new Merc convertible that caught fire in the middle of the night while parked in my garage, nearly burned the house down.
I would just like to see some truth and honesty in the reporting, of course petrol and diesel cars end up on fire but there's millions more of them. What are the percentages? years ago it seemed a fairly common thing for a car to burst into flames after a crash now it rearly happens, there are reports of electric cars bursting into flames after a crash, and being difficult to extinguish. Whatever happened to investigative journalism, now it's all sensational headline writers.
