Fair dinkum! I just don't understand why these parliamentarians/leaders continue on their disruptive path when the more 'common' folk can see the problem a mile away. 😕🙄
We will always need coal. Metallurgical coal for steel production. I’m sure Albo has been briefed. But y’know he might next launch a bamboo-hemp plane fuelled with hydrogen.
We made a tree change 25 years ago, and live off the grid. We have a pretty impressive solar array + storage system. But we still need our backup diesel generator for when we have days at a time without sunshine. There is NO WAY it could charge up an electric vehicle! I often wonder where these expert geniuses get educated. Maybe they just make it up.
Where to start with SPVs and no free green lunch. There are significant issues that have been mentioned. Other issues to consider if adopted by many users, current draw requirements may need bigger cabling/ distribution lines in all high density suburbs, fire issues when lithium batteries get started in a carpark, recycling components in SPVs, power grid failure eg: cyclone would mean no travel till grid restoration. Also, power is not free and getting it at what will be a peak time, night, will no doubt cost more. We need to look for viable, safe, low impact solutions, but not having to go back to the dark ages while China pollutes enough for the planet with no intention of stopping. I think this whole push is to crush freedom of movement and isolate us further.
The mind boggles. a bust timetable is only useful you have regular buses that don't involve scenic tours of your city and its surrounds to get to your destination-starting now -get here some time next year...
What he was, what he is & what he will return to, the PM, his future. The PM was ambling through a crowded street fair when he decided to stop and sit at a Palm Reader's table.
Said the mysterious old woman, "For fifteen dollars, I can read your love line and tell your romantic future."
The PM readily agreed and the reader took one look at his open palm and said, "I can see that you have no girlfriend."That's true," said the PM.
"Oh my goodness, you are extremely lonely, aren't you?"
"Yes," the PM shamefully admitted.
"That's amazing. Can you tell all of this from my love line?" Love line? No, from the calluses.”
Ohhh I am so so so sick of all this climate stuff. I am too old to be conned into thinking that weather should always be 'sunshine and oranges'. Solar is good for homes, until, we have rain, wind, cyclones (yasi) who would power Qld back in 2011. Yasi and her family members often come visiting and have done so for ever. My dad would always tell me about "Cyclone Mahina which was the deadliest cyclone in recorded Australian history, and also likely the most intense tropical cyclone ever recorded in the Southern Hemisphere. Mahina struck Bathurst Bay, Cape York Peninsula, Queensland, on 4 March 1899, and its winds and enormous storm surge combined to kill more than 300 people."(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclone_Mahina) Dad heard it from the 'old boys' in Tully and it was talked about with awe... Yasi is our recent Qld deadly Cyclone. Climate has not changed. but the resilience of our Nations people has. funny story.... I was visiting my 89 yo mum at Tully Heads last weekend... she said to me "why do people think they can change the climate, just leave it alone".. :-) have a great day James. and thank you
I’m not sure the bus timetable will help either… what’s going to power the buses? Are they going electric too? Maybe we all need to invest in push bikes? Or horse and carriage? But that brings other issues.. stables, feed etc and then with more horses, who also fart like cows, the methane would be too much for the environment to cope with… hmmm? Best solution for transport? Cycling and walking, if you have legs that is.. because if don’t, then what?

Check out the “recycling” of wind farm components in USA. At least a hole in the ground can be filled https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2020-02-05/wind-turbine-blades-can-t-be-recycled-so-they-re-piling-up-in-landfills

Maybe that’s his flight out.

Brilliant. Pushbikes will become more and more popular.. then there will be a tax on pedal power!

You can’t make this stuff up!
It’s more efficient to charger your EV car of a diesel generator that you drive a diesel car….

I am officially coining the phrase “green oil”. 🌱🌱🛢🛢🛢

Couldn’t stop laughing at what I thought was a typo in Albo’s comment to journalists’
....’It’s solar panels on the roof, charing your vehicle for free overnight.’
Wow! who wants a charred vehicle next morning. 😱 but should the word have been ‘charged’ Mmmm!!
Thanks James
Any chance of the government developing a vaccine to protect against stupidity at their new Moderna plant?
Bob Mccullough
No
The future looks bleak for EV owners. Hopefully, all the woke peopple will get one or two and find out how stupid this green agenda is.

A very insightful comment from your Mum.

Our world is getting ridiculous.. blah!
Thanks James. Funny [and truthful] as usual. I'm glad you're on tv having a voice. And your suit looks FLASH! Have a great day mate.
Haha ... thanks Mat! I'm really enjoying the TV role. I'm not sure how long it will last, but I'm grateful for the experience and the opportunity.
You’re in for the long haul, James! Enjoy!
Don't get me started on the jibby-jabs Gray.
