Sunaks first address to the British People as Prime Minister.

UK taxes due are calculated between April 6~April 5, what a tax payer lost in previous years is irrelevant. she’ll and BP’s international (non UK) businesses do not pay tax in the UK. Good to see you sticking up for vast windfall profits over ordinary people struggling to heat their homes. -
Nah, you haven’t grasped some realities. Coal fired power stations are the least efficient fossil-field generators, they comprise around 37% of the world’s generating capacity. Gas powered generators comprise around 24% of global generating capacity and are very much more efficient than at coal powered generators. Hydro provides 16% of global generating capacity at zero use of fossil fuels. Nuclear comprises 10% of global generating capacity at zero fossil fuels. Wind and solar together comprise 8% of global generating capacity and both at zero fossil fuels. There is 5% of global power generating capacity from other sources not stated When a consumer plugs their EV in to charge it, the are receiving electricity that was generated at the combined efficiency of all generators to the grid. Coal is the least efficient user of fossil fuels, other generators are either very much more efficient or don’t use fossil fuels. Hence your cherry picked coal fired power stations are nowhere near representative of the efficiency and fossil fuel usage that needs to be compared with that of Internal Combustion Engines. You’re arguments are flawed.

You are cherry picking. 2019 world electricity generation by source (total generation was 27 petawatt-hours)[1][2] Coal (37%) Natural gas (24%) Hydro (16%) Nuclear (10%) Wind (5%) Solar (3%) Other (5%) 63% of the world’s electricity is not produced by coal fired power stations. Which is why I ignored your Mae Dit example, it is not representative of the majority of electricity generation. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil_fuel_power_station

You’ve been watching too much CSI Miami. Leave it to the FBI (oh no you can’t do that because your Hunter Biden conspiracy thing gets in the way). The truth of what happened during the attack on Paul Pelosi will come out in the trial of his assailant. If you have any useful information for his defense get in touch with his attorneys, I quite certain they’ll be delighted to hear from you. ( Don’t forget to send them links).

It seems you are unaware of the principles of ‘efficiency in energy conversion’ while at the same time oblivious you to fact that an increasing percentage of electricity generation is coming from renewable sources. Power stations are very much more efficient at converting fossil fuels into energy than are Internal Combustion engines. EVs then use that electrical energy at a very high efficiency, typically north of 85%. The result is EVs use considerably less energy for a given journey. Now factor in the fact much of that electrical energy comes from renewables and you have your answer.
