Mad Max (1979)
A vengeful cop tries to maintain law and order in a dystopian society of the future.
After introducing the R rating in 1971, a ton of Australian made exploitation films, like Mad Max, were made from the early 1970s through the 80s, known as the “Ozploitation“ era.

If we just build one more gas drilling site / pipeline / LNG terminal, gas'll become cheap. Please. Just one more. This time it'll be different. We'll have infinite cheap energy. Believe me, this time it's different. PLEASE

EVs beat petrol cars on lifetime emissions — even on “dirty” grids.
Battery production is carbon-intensive, but EVs quickly repay that debt and end up 21–71% cleaner over 250,000 km.
We can’t wait for perfect grids: electrify transport and clean the grid now.
