Battery technology is progressing considerably: charging in 5 min, higher energy density, NOT flammable (my pet gripe), temperature resistant over a wider range, light-weight.
While at the same time prices are falling as they did for solar power. A good new EV used to cost US$50,000 two years ago, US$30,000 last year, and can be had for US$18,000 this year … from CHINA.
The US fixation on oil results in the obliteration of their car industry.
That’s one of the problems needing to be solved. Also in Germany in winter you have long periods with temperatures below 5 degree over a few months. That makes the range shrinking to 60 to 70% of the range they have in summer. It is - today - not the right technology for me t use. Sadly. And if I want to transport my caravan then range shrinks in summer under 50% and in Winter I should not go for more than 100 miles. With my Diesel I have non of this problems. The range is with caravan around 800 kilometers and without near 900. That said I have no chance for using an electric car like tesla. Beside that when driving to south of Germany I am driving mostly without stop. With the need of charging two times I will need to stop two times for an hour. I don’t have the time for it. only thing what we are evaluating: for our tours to grocery store it would be ok. That’s not woth to buy a new car only for this.
I don’t own an EV myself (just an electric wheelchair), but I wonder what -40ºc does to a EV battery?
30 years ago I was working on a custom software project for a mining company up in Thompson Manitoba where it’s regularly -40 in Winter. One of the locals I worked with was driving a brand new Ford of some kind given to him by Ford specifically for testing in Winter conditions.
I wonder if car companies still do that?
No Idea but I guess they are testing under several conditions. Against the capacity loss they have only one weapon: heating the battery.But that makes the capacity decreasing even more.
Yes, they seem to think if we let Norway extract the oil and gas from the North Sea and buy it from them rather than extract it ourselves it magically becomes carbon neutral.
Pretty much the same with manufacturing, if we let it happen somewhere else politicians can strut around feeling virtuous because UK has reduced it’s carbon emmissions…
Look at us, we’re so green… and bankrupt.
Europe decline 10x
Uk decline 50x
Aldo Sterone have resumed the situation (vidéo in French but can read with subtitles)
Biggest part on the situation of UK was the Brexit what made UK nearly cutted off from the european economy. Something the thought and believed will not be happened.
And no, there is nobody which tries even to tell that this is carbon reduced. But see it so: if Norway has an Oil accident in the north see it may look better for GB than GB would have an oil accident in north sea. And germany? They are too stupid to run Oil and Gas platforms without an idiot is standing in front of the court cause of it and project will be stopped.
And another good article, this time showing the USA loosing much of its influence in the Middle East:
So the USA have now bombed Iran during a ceasefire in order to “protect their troops”.
Add that to the other lessons they’ve learned from their zionist controllers
like using diplomacy as cover to launch a surprise attack
and
no longer bothering to even pay lip service international law.
What next? Perhaps we’ll see Marco Rubio publicly humiliating people arrested by the many Israeli trained US police forces.
First Amendment? Freedom of Expression? Right to protest?
Gaslighting on an epic scale.
The entire point is: people should not get problems while legally protesting. But Mr. Trump will put everybody in jail when he is not in his line. He wants an absolutistic America with King Trump. I really hope and pray that the midterms will put an end to this allmightyness. And also I hope they will find a way of getting rid of Trump. All only dreams looking on the situation today.
So let me see:
I might have respect for you if you didn’t have such skewed morals …
I have no idea what you’re on about. I said that these charges are gaslighting on a massive scale, for exactly the reasons you cite. Protest <> “terrorism”. Good <> bad, Up <> down, etc. etc. etc. The regime is gaslighting because the things they claim are totally unrelated to facts on the ground.
It’s astounding that a court of law would support this, even in Texas.
It i a question with no real answer. Following the logic and what this moron did the last few months: they should not be allowed to use it. But. This gouvernment is in this times a single source of truths cause they have the power. And this power makes it impossible to kick them out from using this model.
What is making me woner is that there is no opposition in the American politics which is far working. Only hing you can see at the moment that there are a few people. Trmp has the Repubicans under full control. And I wonder how. Looking on germany there is no such party which has it’s own base under a control like this. There MUST be some magic that they listening still to him.
What makes me being a little bit in panic is that this moron has the chance to stay. I doubt that this would be possible in Germany. But in America a President can make himself allmighty. And he can control the courts decisions while he was placing the justice. Something in Germany not even possible cause forbidden.
Let’s hope that the midterms making an end to this and Trump to a lame duck.
Opposition exists and is non-trivial, but it is not reported on much because the media is now captured by the regime. Even to the extent opposition (and their successes) are reported on, it is watered down, and you have the widespread phenomenon of “sane-washing” headlines where for example an accurate headling might be, “Trump Defies Constitution With Illegal Order”, might become, “Trump Has Startling Take On Birthright Citizenship”, as if he’s an unconventional thinker rather than a disordered and corrupt thinker.
You are correct though that a lot of this is just that our “checks and balances” are not as strong as they were thought (or assumed) to be and you have in Germany from what I can see, more airtight controls.
All it really took here was for the legislature to roll over and play dead and not do its job, and defer entirely to the executive.
