  1. huh coincidence....????? less gas consumed better air quality.......who would of figured????? Less clunkers ....better living...........pretty good reason to drive an EV or a Plug in Hybrid
  2. world-wide meltdown of unparalleled proportions?????? the article you posted has zero info to support your BS, as usual can you have someone read to you the article you are referencing firs???????t...........instead of making up stuff https://qz.com/cars-european-ports-slow-sales-bottlenecks-1851397116#:~:text=Imported vehicles are seriously piling,buildup of new%2C unsold vehicles. looks like the ports are free parking zones until the car is sold .........why move it to a place where it is not needed....just move it once to the new owners house..... lol you forgot to post the reason why vehicles are piling up....and from your article.............. your article has no info on EV sales in the EU whatsover a pile-up of Chinese electric cars as one of the leading causes of the problem, with some companies booking shipping delivery slots without ordering onward transportation. In other instances, carmakers in general are struggling to order trucks because of the lack of drivers and equipment to move the vehicles on. “Car distributors are increasingly using the port’s car parks as a depot. Instead of stocking the cars at the dealers, they are collected at the car terminal,” said the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, whose port at Zeebrugge is Europe’s busiest port for car imports. “All major car ports” were struggling with congestion, the port added, without specifying the origin of the vehicles. One car logistics expert said many of the unloaded vehicles were simply staying in the ports until they were sold to distributors or end users. Cui Dongshu, the secretary-general of the China Passenger Car Association, told FT that inland shipping into European markets is proving difficult for Chinese EV makers. The clogging up of car terminals comes as many of China’s carmakers, such as BYD, Great Wall, Chery and SAIC, are planning an export push to Europe, both to keep their factories in China running and to capitalise on the region’s appetite for electric cars.
  3. 2024 sales of cars in the EU https://www.autoevolution.com/news/europe-passenger-car-sales-the-ev-cool-down-is-such-a-twisted-story-233422.html EVs Plugins and Hybrids much greater than Petrol and Diesel combined Demand for oil in the EU......decreasing every day YTD EV sales are up Plugin Hybrid sales are up Non Plug in Hybrids sales are up Petrol cars (clunkers) sales are down Diesel...sales are down over 10 percent The European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) publishes monthly European passenger car registration statistics. Starting from 2022, these statistics became more relevant because they take into account the major powertrain types. I challenge you to dive into the numbers and debunk the assertions that EV sales are on the verge of collapse.

  5. EWO is a bit challenged when it comes to reading and grammar .............
  6. Look closer at the title????? They pay YOU to TAKE Natural Gas footeab@yahoo.com Wednesday at 06:34 PM in Oil (General) I am still waiting for my check
  7. the highlight, so much for the claims made by Ecochump from the article EV recycling is already profitable and capable of recovering more than 95% of the key minerals. A new analysis by Stanford University researchers, which is still under peer review, found that Redwood Materials’ recycling process produces up to 80% fewer emissions than the traditional supply chain using CO2 belching refineries. That’s enough to shorten an average EV’s environmental breakeven time with an internal combustion vehicle to less than 15,000 miles. Every mile thereafter is a carbon win against the internal combustion engine. As a result, the initial carbon footprint of an EV is higher than a comparable internal combustion engine vehicle. Those upfront emissions are paid back over time with the superior efficiency of electric motors, leading to a 70% reduction in total emissions over the average life of the vehicle. In the US, it takes about 25,500 miles (41,000 kilometers) of driving for an EV to break even, according to a BloombergNEF analysis. That payback figure, however, assumes that every EV is made with newly mined lithium, nickel and cobalt — as if all the materials will end up in a landfill at the end of a vehicle’s life. But that’s not what’s happening.
  8. solar keep decreasing, the 5 cents per Watt barrier has now been breached on a ongoing basis on all cell types. Is 4 cents per Watt achievable???? The answer in the future is yes with Tandem /bi facial cells. The only question is when the 4 cent per Watt barrier is going to be breached.........2024???? maybe 2025 most likely battery prices cut in half in 2024 Coal is doomed..... Will $2 nat gas be competitive for power generation????. Does $2 nat gas make economic sense for Nat Gas only wells....It appears that only for Oil producers that have Nat Gas as a byproduct will prices of less than $2 will be a money maker........ pv magazine International Accelerated declines in solar cell prices since late March In a new weekly update for pv magazine, OPIS, a Dow Jones company, offers bite-sized analysis on solar PV module supply and price trends. . 4 hours ago FOB China prices for both mono PERC M10 and TOPCon M10 cells extended declines this week, assessed at $0.0417/W and $0.0494/W, respectively, marking a decrease of 5.01% and 4.45% from the previous week. FOB China prices for mono PERC G12 have steadied this week, holding at $0.0448/W. This stability can be attributed to the recent initiation of several ground-mounted solar projects in China, which has spurred demand for this cell type. The constrained production capacity for these cells has led to intermittent supply tightness. In the Chinese domestic market, mono PERC M10 cells were priced at around CNY0.335($0.046)/W, while TOPCon M10 cells stood at approximately CNY0.397/W, as per the OPIS market survey. According to a major TOPCon cell producer, the current price trend of cells is closely mirroring the price trend of wafers.
  9. "I wonder if Footinmouth is using his payments from his NG company to build his many tunnels? Hmmm?" ?????? his plan is a tunnel rats dream come true.......
  10. does anyone give you , the consumer , Free Nat Gas??? please post a link maybe to promote Nat Gas they could give it to us for Free??????? ha ha ha that day will happen when pigs will fly in the UK consumers and Texas can receive free electricity, FREE GREEN ELECTRICITY Choose your Free Nights or Weekends Electricity Plan!

  11. landfills also get paid to takeaway unwanted items.......but they do not let anyone haul off the valuables....those items are the saved by the Landfill operators a store dumps a load of new low value overstocks at the end of the year, that they have no room for them in their store in the dumpster.....they pay to have it hauled away and the landfill spots new merchandise and grabs it....at the same time they do not let the public to pick through the piles of goodies Midstream companies are typically the ones who own massive Nat Gas storage facilities, I am sure they love to fill up their pipelines with nat gas they are getting paid to take it away and filling their storage facilities with the free Nat Gas and then selling it at a later date for good money There is no such thing as free Nat Gas to the end consumer.............Or is the Gas company now sending its customers checks after they deliver Nat Gas to your home or business????? Where do I sign up for the Free Nat Gas???????
  12. some would call these cars at these insanely low prices a trade war.......I would call it a war on ICE Vehicles and the low cost cars always wins....regardless of what is the fuel.....fossil or electricity Remember the 60's 70's and 80's with cheap German and Japanese imports??????...truly a game changer in the auto business that doomed oversized overweight overpowered poor quality clunkers for the cost conscious consumer...a no brainer.... Clunkers are doomed
  13. no surprise .....Clunkers are doomed People (well the doomsday crowd and Luddites such as Ecochump) thought EVs would never be affordable to the masses due to crazy battery prices.............no more..... $10,000 for a new car...................and this year....no wonder why the Chinese new car market will be over 50 percent of all cars being Plugins this year. Only a Luddite would stick to a Clunker when they can buy an EV that can get them around everyday with their daily commutes to work and to the stores etc for $10,000. And an EV with a range of 250 miles for $12000....bonkers Insuring a $10,000 car ....1/2 the price of an ICE vehicle Road Anxiety..........easy, if you need to do a long road trip once a year....rent a car for the one week ... you will save a fortune by using an EV for almost all of your driving ...the savings in fuel costs will pay for a rent a car for several weeks every year. Clunkers are doomed. BYD and CATL also announced they are dropping the price of batteries to $60 KWH this year....The Seagulls battery packs..... The new BYD Seagull has 30.08 kWh and 38.88 kWh Blade Battery options, good for 190 mi (305 km) and 252 mi (405 km) CLTC range the cost of the battery for the Seagull is $1800 to $2350......... add in the motors.......and controllers.........$4000 ?????? can one make an ICE engine for under $4000 these days ??? clunkers are doomed even if the battery dies after 10 years one can afford to replace it CleanTechnica CATL, BYD To Slash Battery Prices By 50% In 2024. BOOM! EVs Win! CATL says it will begin selling LFP battery cells in the VDA format at price less than $60 per kWh hour by the middle of this year. . Feb 26, 2024
  14. The Norwegian scientists' work on this just three years ago has drastically changed the scene on CO2, the IPCC studies now avoid the forcing equations criticized in the Norway study.?????? Tailings Pond has posted info that discredits your blah blah blah...... and if kids can prove CO2 is a nasty green house gas responsible for the earths dramatic temperature rise ....you should pay attention....as you seem to think on their level That paper was from 2020. The paper has been cited in newer (2022) work. This group still downplays the global warming risk, but they admit they found CO2 forcing in their lab experiment. +1.05°C each time you double CO2 (without feedback). Feedback could make things much worse. Science marches on... and this time you can't claim they were ignorant of the previous paper since it was cited / challenged. https://climatetverite.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Harde-Schnell-GHE-m-2021.pdf "The derived forcing for CO2 is in quite good agreement with some theoretical studies in the litera- ture, which to some degree is the result of calibrating the set-up to the spectral calculations, but in- dependently it determines and also reproduces the whole progression as a function of the gas con- centration. From this we deduce a basic equilibrium climate sensitivity (without feedbacks) of ECSB = 1.05°C."
  15. Too funny Eco, your own authors have moved on but you remain in the past.??? this is what being a Luddite is all about....trying to live in the past
