UK Grim Prospects Over Surging Energy Bills Just Got Worse

High energy prices drove inflation in the UK to a 10-year high in October. The Consumer Prices Index (CPI) rose by 4.2 percent in the 12 months to October 2021, up from 3.1 percent in September, the Office for National Statistics said. Energy is expected to fuel additional price hikes next year when the energy regulator is set to raise the so-called price cap on energy bills.

Electric SUVs Rank Lowest In Reliability: Consumer Reports

The problem with the SUVs when it comes to reliability isn't the batteries or the electric motors, according to Consumer Reports. It's glitchy electronics—including climate controls and power equipment. Because these SUVs tend to be considered more of a luxury vehicle due to their lofty price tags, they often come with all the bells and whistles—bells and whistles that apparently can run amok.

 

Further disappointment for those concerned with their carbon footprint is that owners reported more problems with 8, 9, and 10-speed transmissions—transmissions that are designed for fuel-efficiency.

It is ICE cars that have problematic 10 speed transmissions not EVs. Fake news from oilprice.com where the article was written.

If you say so, though it has nothing to do with EVs. This is the fossil fuel industry that owns the Australian gov't pushing back against competition. Batteries are being added to grids all over the world at an exponentially increasing rate. Eventually Australia will open up again, maybe as soon as next year's election.

Australia’s new National Electricity Market rules ‘designed to incentivise battery investments’

Red tape, costs and logistical hurdles for large-scale battery storage and hybrid systems to participate in Australia’s National Electricity Market (NEM) will be cut under new Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) rules. 

Issued today after a process of deliberation and consultation, AEMC said the final determination rule is designed to make it easier and more attractive for battery storage and hybrids — systems that combine more than one energy resource at a single grid connection point — to enter the market.

Have you been sucking on an exhaust pipe again? What does the Australian National Electricity Market have to do with the XL pipeline?

Section 6 is quite simple, I would think even a third grader could understand it. It says "the President granted to TransCanada Keystone Pipeline, L.P. a Presidential permit (the “Permit”) to construct, connect, operate, and maintain pipeline facilities at the international border of the United States and Canada (the “Keystone XL pipeline”), subject to express conditions and potential revocation in the President’s sole discretion.  The Permit is hereby revoked in accordance with Article 1(1) of the Permit."

No more explanation is needed.

I suggest you guys get busy building wind turbines and apply for a power line across the border.

China has cornered the market for rare earth materials, but the resurgence in coal production could provide a possible source to escape the vice-like grip of Chinese control.

https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/China-Merges-Mining-Assets-To-Create-Rare-Earth-Mining-Giant.html

"Now that aggressive foreign policy toward China has attracted bipartisan consensus, evidenced by the fact that President Biden has opted to keep certain tariffs imposed by the Trump Administration in place, Beijing is looking for new ways to squeeze Washington. For years now, we have been warning about the risk of China cutting off supplies of 17 rare earth metals critical for the production of tech gadgets.

Earlier this year, we reported that Beijing was keeping a rare-earth export ban in its "back pocket". Now, it appears the CCP is moving to tighten state control over rare earth production so that they might more easily control who gets the metals.

 

Whereas rare earth metals were previously mined by six major Chinese firms, the CCP is merging assets from several state-owned firms to create China Rare Earth Group. The new mining giant will be based in resource-rich Jiangxi Province; it's expected to allow Beijing more leverage over the supply, and by extension, the price, of these incredibly valuable commodities that are essential for the production of chips and other components used in high-tech products from computers to weapons systems.

China is believed to control up to 90% of global supplies of rare earth metals. Only a small number of rare earth mining operations exist outside China. As for where the rest are mined, the chart below offers some insight."

No, ICE sales are not growing, they are falling off a cliff. In Germany they are down by almost 50% since last year. I'm sorry basic economics are so difficult for you.

Check your own numbers, Jay...40.4% Petrol,24.3% Diesel, Total EVs 20.5%.

So ICEs grow by 64.7%, and EVs grow by 20.5%....more than three times more ICE than EV.

That is just new sales, as a percentage of total rolling stock, EVs are still a miniscule fraction of a fraction of a fraction of 1%..a blip on a blip, and soon to be laughed off as the new science gains ascendancy.

I always knew that the Greenies were numerically challenged, thanks for proving my point.

Once again you have incorrectly cited the old chart as the current chart. The chart you are showing clearly says 2020 and I have provided you the 2021 chart multiple times. How many times are you going to make this mistake or are you being duplicitous on purpose?

Once again, here is the current chart, note the incredible change in the numbers from what you quoted from last year's chart. Legacy ICE is less than half the market:

Your other mistake which I have previously explained to you is to ignore the fact that cars don't last forever. They in fact last about 20 years. That means 5% of the old vehicle stock is retired every year and 5% new are added. In the past that would have all been new ICE but now it is only 3.5% ICE in Germany. Currently the percentage of EVs in the German vehicle stock is increasing by 1.5 points per year and the rate of growth is increasing every month.

Your claim that EVs are a fraction of a percent is mathematically wrong. EVs are now about 1% of German vehicle stock. I guess you aren't so good with math or dates or economic models.

God, you're an insufferable boob. And, you need a good forearm shiver to the jaw. Maybe knock some of those geriatric cobwebs loose so, just maybe, you'd remember what the conversation was about; creating an investment environment making it harder to invest in O&G. That's exactly what that executive order did, and you can't deal with that reality. 

Drawing parallels with Biden & Co., the possible future Australian government will be doing the same thing. Picking winners, which makes regular people the worst of the losers, while massively subsidized green energy projects produce intermittently middling electricity at every increasing prices for the masses. 

As far as 14th century windmill tech, you can go suck a bag of dicks.
