I’m sure he’s sick of someone winning.

That’s a link to a newspaper article that excludes all supporting references. It’s utter nonsense.

And fossil fuels are completely clean, requiring no transformers, no cables. Link please to; “The World Health Organization cautions that those who live within a mile of a high voltage transformer could develop neurological disorders.“

“ 2020 marked the first year in the UK’s history that electricity came predominantly from renewable energy, with 43% of our power coming from a mix of wind, solar, bioenergy and hydroelectric sources.” This 2020 figure excludes Nuclear (25% of all electricity generation) and since the data comes from National Grid.com I’m inclined to believe it. https://www.nationalgrid.com/stories/energy-explained/how-much-uks-energy-renewable https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/country-profiles/countries-t-z/united-kingdom.aspx

I’m not at all convinced that the impacts of producing EV’s is anywhere near as bad as the impacts of producing Internal Combustion Engines. The boundary needs to be drawn around the whole system, including the impacts of the oil and gas extraction/production. wrt to EV’s in the UK (subject of this thread), electricity generation from fossil fuels is a little over 46% and declining. EV’s are here to stay.

Your fixation on the nationality of other members is slipping out again. The only qualification that matters is he’s a member of the forum, as a member he is permitted to comment.

Have have high hopes that while 2022 was a great year for Justice, 2023 is going to even better. Jack be nimble, Jack be quick.

Good for them, hybrids are extremely efficient compared with a standard internal combustion vehicle.

You are confusing use of resources with pollution and I doubt very much you have any real interest in addressing the equitable distribution of resources. Explain what pollution is created in energy transmission?

You’ve heard of the Luddites ? (It’s not a brand of batteries)

You are in full flow whataboutary. Refer to the top of the tread for the subject that triggered your hating on Biden.

And the biggest single contributor to inflation is?

Court filings suggest maybe not.

That’s like two passengers on a train heading in the same direction but unaware that a) both are moving b) where they are headed. It’s all relative.

The UK went into full self harming mode.

Regardless of race, when people vote for a party and that party wins an election the voters have reasonable expectation that the party they voted for will govern. Keep a straight face while you tell me this farce isn’t losing the Republicans support.

It’s all the kind of stuff you can find in those rightwing echo chambers.

Tell me how this shambles is going to govern anything, they can’t govern themselves. The hate and division they bought into and promoted has come home to roost. ‘Decent Republicans’ are there any left and if there are, who do they get as a leader?

Nonsense. Democrat Left Agenda, is right of anything you’re used to in NZ or UK. The Democrat Affordable Care Act (Tagged Obama Care) is hugely popular, and just one example of the public wanting more social programs. As stated above, many Republican voters are very pleased to receive Government support but object to others receiving it.

6 to 5. Expats are 100% more likely to have escaped the mess post Brexit is.

I’m not sure what all this ‘McCarthy Humiliated’ is about. Surely he’s used to humiliation by now, Pelosi has spent the past four years humiliating him on a daily basis.

I borrowed a friends bike and Garmin Radar to give it a try, I found it more of a distraction than a help. To me the biggest danger is taking your eyes off the road ahead, with this in mind I start my ‘Polar’ head unit as I leave town and switch it off again when I arrive back at the town boundary. I do not want to be distracted when I’m traffic. Strava tells me I rode just over 14,000km last year, 11,000 of which were in Thailand. I plan my routes to avoid traffic, very seldom do I ride on main or busy roads and when riding in town I go at a very slow pace. In over 20 years of cycling in Thailand I’ve had four accidents, once knocked off by a dog, brought down by motorbike cutting in front of me and two ‘pile up’ accidents while racing. That’s comparable with my accident rate in Europe. Choose quiet roads, keep your eyes and ears open and of course wear a helmet.

Don’t misunderstand this as a failure, crippling Government processes is a prime objective of the GOP. It’s a GOP victory before the new term starts.

I’m up for it but I suspect whataboutary, dead cats and semantics from Brexiteers might take the line.

Before messing with the Good Friday Agreement, the UK will await instruction from Washington as to what is permissible.
