In 2023, the percentage of car sales that were electric in major countries was: China: Just under 60% of new electric car registrations Europe: Just under 25% of new electric car registrations United States: Just under 10% of new electric car registrations Explanation Electric car sales are increasing globally, but they are still concentrated in a few major markets. China, Europe, and the United States account for about two-thirds of total car sales and stocks. The EV transition in these markets has major repercussions for global trends.

Ecocharger + 1,506 DL 3 hours ago (edited) Oil prices are soaring and are expected to about 90 U.S. dollars going forward. Like any forecast, there is some range of uncertainty involved, so readers should not get overly agitated (some readers routinely become overagitated as a style of protest). https://oilprice.com/Energy/Oil-Prices/Goldman-Sachs-Geopolitical-Risk-Could-Send-Oil-Prices-Even-Higher.html "The Wall Street bank expects Brent Crude prices to trade in a range of $70-$85 per barrel. The loss of some Russian supply could reduce or even wipe out the currently expected surplus in the oil market. Strict sanctions enforcement on Iran could send Brent to nearly $90 per barrel: Goldman Sachs." Edited 3 hours ago by Ecocharger 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One thing is for certain: Each year, more electric vehicles with advanced battery technology are making their way onto America’s roads Cox Automotive is expecting 2025 to set another record for EV volume.

You do not understated simple calculus as an actual economist would. You should understand the differences between F(x), F'(x), and F''(x). EV sales are up by your own post. The first and second derivatives may have changed but up is up - not down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Medicine has to become democratized. Not just run by Big Pharma, and federal or state governments. Every person should learn all they can and teach what they have learned. Having maladies yourself may help you to do so. I am nearing eighty and have lived well through a hip replacement, an aortic valve replacement, back pain that I got physical therapy for to avoid surgery, atrial fibrillation, and continue to learn about all aspects of health and longevity. I work out twice a week at the gym and at home. Would you have let a Youtube trained "doctor" do your hip or valve replacement? No - you wanted an actual university trained doctor.

Quotes in Michael Wolff books In January 2018, upon the publication of Michael Wolff's book Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, which attributed many controversial and inflammatory statements to Bannon, Bannon and Trump became estranged and were widely seen as enemies.[175][176] Fire and Fury - Content: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Bannon Trump was probably being controlled in his first term... How confident are you, that this soul controlling helmet, described by Disney cartoon on Donald Duck, has been chucked and destroyed for a brand new start? A German incharged of US defence department, ordered a war or attack onto Russia but declined by Obama before he stepped down as his two terms ended. Jared announced the acknowledgement of Israel and shifted US embassy to Jerusalem flared up fire that got Trump impeached with many entailed lawsuits, glitches during election and problems. Bannon revelation: Jared receives money from Deutsche Bank ... Although Jared is one kind person, these interference from german-german jews seemed too bold for a country and its patriotic men to remain silence. What is important to you citizens of United States? That you are Irish descendants, or some other races of origin? A protestant democrat or catholic republican? Worshipper of a son or his mother with extraordinary stories? Or, that your country is ruined by those few regard USA as enemy? Your individualistic due to long term capitalism, selfishness and indifference is failing you and your society. You must stand together disregard if it is father, mother, son of someone else or just a post man messenger that you are worshipping... Find your ground again, together!

You want people without cancer to take chemotherapy? Ask yourself if you would take this job if you could get it. You are now CEO of a pharmaceutical company and get paid 10 million per year. The only caveat is you have to take every drug the company makes once? Would you take the Job? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can not do a clinical trial before a clinical trial - you just want the first trial to be done on the employees. You also do not understand that you can not measure a cancer drug effectiveness on people who do not have cancer. Do you want post-menopausal women take birth control pills? Heck, do you want men to take birth control pills? Your understanding of medical science is very poor. Edited 1 hour ago by TailingsPond Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We use cooking oils that are dangerous and most grew up with hydrogenated margarine and peanut butter and Crisco instead of bacon grease and lard which are healthful. Highly processed foods is a generic term for industrialized food processes and additives that are not good for us. These foods have led us into metabolic syndrome, obesity, and shorter life spans. I think that RFK will be approved for HHS Secretary and will guide some great changes but it will be a never ending struggle to educate people about health issues. Thank you for the info. Truly hope seniors, like yourself, would allocate a little time to keep a record or publish those knowledge gained from life working experience using tools comfortable to you. Sorry to hear about your personal experience. Although it is easy for us to read in few seconds, it must not be easy for you, at times, who are going through those pain... May your knowledge able to help you live healthily with minimal occurrence of back pain, atrial fibrillation mentioned. I'm not sure about RFK. Having halo from his forefathers gives him a lead. In addition, as a turned over new leaf, his personal experience to release his unmentionable sadness would be helpful to those related: drug addicts, thieves, violence inclined etc. Hearsay, no one could deal with Monsanto and still alive to win the case. His influential back stage is making ways for him to have second chance of life. Hopefully, they will help him on healthcare system, processed food, big pharma etc when he is appointed to head relevant department.
