3 pointsYou have gone too far into the cesspool but I let you go with political views thinking this time we won't go the same road as before. This wasn't an original topic of this thread anyway. So lets stop it right here. All political posts (reffering to Trump, Biden, Republicans, Democrats,...) will be deleted.

3 pointsLet us be clear for a moment. From 2004 to 2010 the govt/auto industry collaborated together to create a viable electrified line of autos. Oregon and California were the first 2 states allowed in this program initially. By the yr 2011 it had failed miserably, all major mfgs walked away from future development. Only Tesla survived due to the fact they survived on carbon tax credits..billions paid to them by GM&Ford. Apologize you say...perhaps a debt the environmental activists can never repay the US tax payer. Billions of missing assets...time lost due to extraordinary malfeasance.

3 pointsIt's been awhile but I thought I'd move down the rabbit hole many of you are still digging on here. "America is the last large country that is still free." Ron Wagner, did you actually write this in a post on here? Seems you did. I feel so embarrassed for you and your utterly skewed view of the world around you and how you see things (American tunnel vision I'd call it). You are living in a country where you are almost becoming a theocracy, absolutely dominated by religion. In case you missed it, religion doesn't allow for much free thinking. The previous ruling on Roe v. Wade and the latest ruling by the Alabama Supreme Court are both actually quite chilling and frightening for women in your country. You have women who live in fear of driving to another state to receive needed medical care. DO NOT give me any BS about how the USA is more "free" than other large countries. It is true that you have some of the most lax gun laws in the world but that's a whole other topic really. I am still shaking my head in wonderment at that comment. In Canada and other countries I'm sure, it is true that we pay high taxes, no question. It is true that we are further to the left on pretty much every issue than I am comfortable with. But I vote as I want, work as I want, marry who I want and do as I please on a daily basis. How are we not a free country? Please explain.

2 pointsWhat are you talking about who is going to stop that by driving an electric vehicle? Big pharma will 100% still be around People ARE dying from air pollution in their millions We will never agree on EV's so theres no point carrying on the back and forth, believe what you will we are both lucky enough to live in countries where we can.

2 pointsShe was attractive to watch, but... U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) has until now been silent regarding whether she falsely linked Joe Biden to a cartel sex-trafficking story, but that's over as of Saturday. On Friday, one independent journalist raised questions about Britt's story, told in response to Biden's State of the Union address, about a woman who had been sex-trafficked by a Mexican cartel. While her speech seemed to imply this happened in the U.S. under Biden, the report suggested it happened under George W. Bush's presidency, and in Mexico. One Alabama columnist tried to get an answer from a Britt spokesman, but ended up getting what conservative attorney George Conway called a "non-denial denial" instead of straight talk. Now, however, the Washington Post has reportedly confirmed the truth: "Sean Ross, Britt’s communications director, confirmed that she was talking about Karla Jacinto Romero — who has testified before Congress about being forced to work in Mexican brothels from 2004 to 2008," the outlet reported Saturday. "(A viral TikTok by journalist Jonathan Katz first revealed that Britt was speaking about Romero.) In a phone conversation and a statement, Ross disputed that Britt’s language was misleading." The Post, however, vehemently disagreed. "Britt’s account of Romero’s experience was a centerpiece of her rebuttal to Biden’s address. The way Britt sets up the story, there is no indication that she is talking about a woman who was working in brothels in Mexico during the George W. Bush administration," according to the Post's fact check. "But Biden has nothing to do with Romero’s story." The article continues by suggesting Romero was "never trafficked in the United States." "In a high-profile speech like this, a politician should not mislead voters with emotionally charged language," the article states. "Romero’s story is tragic and may be evocative of other Mexican girls trapped in the sex trade in that country. But she was not trafficked across the border — and her story has nothing to do with Biden. Britt’s failure to make that clear earns her Four Pinocchios."

2 pointsHow do you know the price of something that doesn't exist? Why is it a even number? Did you make up "math" again? Who is going to buy it? People who have an extra $100,000. Plenty of people are rich; Lamborghini and Ferrari have done just fine selling stupid expensive ICE cars, why can't the the same customers buy nice EVs made by the same or similar companies? EV sport cars have better performance. Haha he cant even make up his mind if a Tesla SUV exists or not 🤡 There is the Model X which is classed as an SUV/crossover, you can get a second hand one in the UK for £33500 ($42500) Used Tesla Model X cars for sale | carwow I wonder if math was his worst subject at school, seems like it to me. I bet he's got loads of tunnels on the go at the moment. Strange he's not mentioned them for a while. 🤣

2 pointsMy comment said nothing of vehicle type or fuel/energy efficiency. All I did is point out the error in your comment of "driving distance does not go down in the winter." It certainly does. You should accept that you made a false statement and learn. Perhaps you should think before posting; that way I can't embarrass you by pointing out all the mistakes.

2 pointsI think that the main problem is that before we use draconian measures to destroy the standard of living for the average American there should be some clear science support for the proposed "transition" away from fossil fuels. The most recent science which I have seen does not support the notion that anthropogenic CO2 is a significant contributor to climate change. There are too many problems with that theory and the data do not support it. Anthropogenic CO2 is such a tiny component of atmospheric greenhouse gases that the contributary strength it provides to the greenhouse effect is extremely small and insignificant. That means that the wild campaign against fossil fuels is misdirected. Furthermore, the lifetime CO2 emissions for the most desirable EVs is calculated to be significantly higher than the equivalent fossil fuel vehicles, so that means that the hysteria against fossil fuel vehicles is again without logical foundation. You do understand these points?

2 pointsI love seeing charts like that. They encourage research and where to look for future progress. Sometimes dead ends suddenly disappear due to new factors, discoveries, sometimes accidental ones. Sometimes brainstorms, or dreams etc. Usually like Edison said: "Success is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration. Science and technology have advanced so much in the last three centuries it is mind boggling, compared to the entire history prior to that. It is frightening also, considering that we are finding so many ways to accidentally or purposely kill off our species or large percentages of it.

2 pointsWhat I see from American posters on here is how much they value the Constitution and the rules and regulations that were laid out by "the founding fathers" within it. However what I cant get my head around is how anybody if they truly believe in the Constitution can back Trump when he posts that those rules and regulations in the Constitution should be terminated! Who the hell does Trump think he is??? Is he bigger than the American Constitution???? No he is one man who is clearly deluded by what power he has and his meaningfulness in USA history. Those who support him, EWO, ECO, Ron etc please explain how you can vote for someone who wants to terminate the Constitution, I just dont understand how anyone could.

2 pointsThe important metric is y-o-y increases of 40% and 20% which are still huge surely even you can see that doesnt mean sales are collapsing as you put it. if I increased my sales by 40% compared to last year I'd be asking for a pay rise!

1 pointThe three key ingredients for the pharmaceutical industry are cumene, phenol and benzene. Phenol and cumene can be created from benzene quite easily, so the question is: can we make benzene without oil? Turns out we can: Heating lime and carbon (in the form of coke) together produces calcium carbide. When exposed to water, calcium carbide releases acetylene (ethyne). Acetylene can be cyclotrimerized to benzene, for example using a cobalt catalyst. Story is: we can replace oil pretty much everywhere. At the moment it is just cost that stops us. At some point in the future, it will be cheaper to not use oil. But that point in the future is defined by governments; O&G without government intervention will manage to undercut this for decades to come.

1 pointEV sales in California are plummeting downward, while fossil fuel vehicles are quickly increasing in sales. https://www.latimes.com/california/newsletter/2024-02-15/essential-california-ev-sales-essential-california#:~:text=EV sales significantly declined in,time in over a decade. "California has been at the forefront of a booming electric vehicle market, but recent trends show signs of fatigue. EV sales significantly declined in the latter half of 2023 for the first time in over a decade." "In the third quarter, EV sales in California experienced their first quarterly drop since 2012. Additionally, fourth-quarter sales declined by 10.2%, falling from 100,151 to 89,933 units. Even the popular Tesla is reporting a 10% decline in sales in the final quarter of last year." "Academic researchers have found that [California] charging stations have become notoriously unreliable, with at least a 20% malfunction rate. Even with a reliable charger, there aren’t enough available, forcing many to wait in long lines. The state aimed for 250,000 chargers statewide by 2025, but the Energy Commission reports far fewer publicly accessible chargers — only 93,855."

1 pointThe trouble with the models which your people rely on is that they are not sophisticated enough, they are incomplete models which exclude some of the most important variables. That renders the models themselves worthless and the correlation coefficients biased. Any undergraduate in statistical models could point out the flaws in those models. I recall that Jay brought one of the most sophisticated models onto this thread, but he failed to notice that it included no solar variables, which I had to discover for him. The paper by Coe and others shows a very straightforward way (which only the most capable of climate scientists would understand) to calculate the relative contributions of the various greenhouse gases and this paper has not been challenged by any climate scientist, as far as I know, And no, they are certainly aware of this paper, they certainly "care" about it, but just have no challenge to make of it. A study which is not challenged gains credibility, those who disagree with it must find a challenge or be consigned to the dustbin of science history.

1 pointNo, man, you have been schooled. Here is how it works. Apparently many science journals use Article Processing Charges, so this is not the least bit unusual. It appears that the better known journals charge the most. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_processing_charge In fact, this appears to be very common in well known journals. https://www.science.org/content/article/9500-nature-journals-will-now-make-your-paper-free-read "For €9500, Nature journals will now make your paper free to read Prominent family of highly selective journals expands open-access option" "The Nature journals are jumping into open access for all authors now "because we see that's the future, that's where the scientific enterprise is naturally going to go," said James Butcher, the group's vice president of journals." "The Lancet, which has a higher journal impact factor than Nature, charges an open-access publishing fee of $5000." That is the current system. Darwin had to pay out of his own pocket to publish Origin of Species, and apparently things are similar today.

1 pointRon the main difference between the EU and the US is you have 27 different countries with different cultures and values, there is always going to be division, its obvious. The US is 1 country and therefore all states should be as much aligned as possible with similar culture and values. The fact that politically the US has never before (civil war apart) been so entrenched in being either a blue or a red is worrying. EU countries have lurched from 1 disagreement (war) for the last 10 thousand years or more and that isnt going to change unfortunately IMHO.

1 pointthere is a difference between paid articles ....called spotlight articles and research papers. Spotlight articles are not research papers but mostly news or magazine style papers that promote products typically or companies. When you read a journal you can tell the difference between the two. Good research is printed for free as they help keep up Journal subscribers paid articles .........as what you posted..............only attract flies the article you posted by a company that has no reputation...........and that prints anything even by the simpsons.....ha ha ha you really are clueless

1 pointUsing that paper again are we? Post the link, quote cherry picker, the authors actually disagree with most of what you say. It straight out says CO2 has caused 3.3K of warming, that is huge. It also comments on the positive feedback loop it causes. They also used a oversimplified, now outdated, climate model. With science you can't get one result you like and then just stop. You have to repeat, refine, get peer reviewed, publish, take criticism, and then continue to improve your work. You are quoting a paper that used a simple model running off a data set over 5 years old - get with the times old man.

Easy work setting timbers????? Easy work moving a long wall Easy work running LHD??? Easy work advancing a section????? Easy work setting cribs and I bet you never ever worked on a tunneling project or shaft sinking or on a belt line or in a prep plant or anything related to mining How the F do you think the coal gets removed from the face and gets to the loadout??????? guys with picks and donkeys?????? You would not last more than 30 minutes underground.... a little bump and you would shit your pants....... my personal experiences of co workers losing the lifes around heavy machinery in a coal mine ...yeah and all these guy were safety conscious Friend was cut in half on the conveyor line at the drive....heavy machinery coworkers (mechanic) head was popped off on the Longwall...super heavy machinery Supervisor died of a heart attack fighting a fire in an advancing section. The fire was started by the continuous miner (heavy machinery) hitting a bleeder...try putting out a gas bleeder with nothing but coal surrounding you and praying you do not trigger a bump and POOOOOOOOOF everyone is gone all of these deaths happened in just 4 years in one mine here is typical equipment used to cut the coal

1 pointHow to collapse China ? First of all you should ensure that all university cooperation in US and EU with China is breaked. This is the first and very important step. China uses academic cooperation to steal technology and fuse it with military technology. There should be custom duties on ALL Chinese products, so that Apple and the like, move to other countries. It is the most important second step. Otherwise CEO of Apple will be simple Chinese servant as it is now. Move all supply chains out of China and towards South East Asia - this would be difficult, very difficult but it is possible. Cut all of the financial ties - prevent US (and EU and Asian friendly like JApan, SOuth Korean) companies to invest in Chinese companies. Change the patent law as to not honor ALL CHINESE PATENTS - it is possible but difficult, but US and EU still has enough power to do it. Try to actively move all supply chains out of China to South - East Asia and US. Very difficult but still possible. China would be on its own with a lot of unemployment and spare capacity - it is the only way.

1 pointAnother One Bites The Dust...Go figure Shell Backs Out Of Yet Another Floating Offshore Wind Project By Julianne Geiger - Feb 22, 2024, 3:30 PM Wind projects, on the other hand, have suffered a significant blow to its profitability thanks to the skyrocketing costs of raw materials and equipment, and developers are backing out around the globe. In the United States, for example, even after the Department of the Interior approved in November 2023 large-scale offshore wind power project Empire Wind 2, developers just months later scrapped the project, citing its compromised commercial viability. BP and Equinor booked $840 million in impairments associated with the failed wind project, and Orsted—the world’s largest offshore wind developer—recently took impairment charges worth $4 billion after canceling two offshore wind projects planned off the coast of New Jersey. https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Shell-Backs-Out-Of-Yet-Another-Floating-Offshore-Wind-Project.html

1 pointNope wrong agian! Global EV Sales Break Record For January So much for cautious optimism on the state of the global electric vehicle market. Rho Motion crunched the numbers and came up with a record breaking sales pace of 660,000 electric vehicles sold globally in January. That was 12 months ago, back in January 2023. This year’s January EV sales blew past that mark by 69% for a total of more than 1 million. “In the EU & EFTA & UK, EV sales have grown by 29% y-o-y, 41% in the USA & Canada, and almost doubled in China,” Rho Motion added, with EFTA referring to the European Free Trade Association. Subsidy cuts in some jurisdictions had an impact on EV sales in January compared to December, but the impact did not offset the year-over-year gains. “In Germany, EV sales halved m-o-m following the end of the subsidy. However, y-o-y sales increased by 40%,” Rho Motion noted. “Likewise in France, EV sales also halved m-o-m but saw a 20% increase y-o-y.”

Official leading Biden's EV push steps down in surprise move after heavy GOP opposition Republicans argued Carlson's appointment violated federal statute Carlson, though, had garnered strong opposition from Republicans over her past climate activism, support for regulations targeting gas-powered vehicles and how she continued to lead NHTSA in an acting role even after failing Senate confirmation for the post in a permanent capacity. In January 2021, the Biden-Harris transition team hired Carlson, then an environmental law professor at UCLA, to serve as NHTSA's chief counsel. While the position didn't require Senate confirmation, Carlson oversaw key agency initiatives in that role and began serving as acting administrator in September 2022. Then in February 2023, Biden nominated Carlson to permanently lead NHTSA. In the months that followed, she faced heavy opposition from Senate Commerce Committee Republicans for her past work in the private sector advising plaintiffs on climate litigation and comments she made via email about her role with the Biden administration. Her nomination was then suddenly withdrawn in May, but she remained acting administrator, sparking fury from Republicans and energy advocates. And after her nomination was withdrawn, Carlson crafted new fuel economy regulations designed to incentivize greater EV purchases. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/official-leading-bidens-ev-push-steps-down-surprise-move-heavy-gop-opposition

1 pointand sale of ICE vehicles also collapsed...... in January of 2023 did you notice your article is a year old?????? do you have anything relevant to what is happening today???? read your own article Gasoline car sales in Norway Jan 2023.....a whopping 1.9 percent of the market and Jan of 2024 Automobile https://www.electrive.com/2024/02/02/norway-saw-4717-new-electric-cars-in-january-2024/ from the website Electrive Norway saw 4,717 new electric cars in January 2024 Electric cars accounted for 92.1 per cent of all new car registrations in Norway in January. The most popular new car was once again the Tesla Model Y. However, January is generally a weak sales month in the country. Image: Tesla By Chris Randall 02.02.2024 - 11:46 Norway BEV Data Specifically, 4,717 new electric cars were registered in Norway in the first month of the new year. This is according to statistics from the Norwegian Public Roads Administration. This is almost four times as many (+281.3%) as in the same month last year. However, January 2023 was an extremely weak month for the local car market (and even for a January). This can be seen from the fact that the market grew by 175.5 per cent across all drive systems this January. In other words: with 5,122 new registrations, exactly 3,263 more cars were put on the roads in January 2024 than in the same month last year. At that time, the EV ratio was also only 66.5 per cent.

1 pointOh really? It has ended you say. Wake up tomorrow and look around and see your error, reality will go on despite your fantasies. The upside you get a free crow breakfast. You should stick to "someday soon the drama will unfold" garbage. Claims about the current situation are easily testable and you will be found wrong nearly immediately. Tomorrow the energy transition will still be happening; no need to wait around for the drama required - you're wrong.

1 pointWell, it is about time: China bans millions of EV's of the light variety which idiots all over the world have counted as "EV sales vehicles". Guess this will put a giant crimp in the cowardly liars regarding EV sales figures... Nah... cowardly liars never change until they receive Darwin awards.
