Joining the exodus - hopefully leaving the antiscience idiots to pat each other on their backs in peace
It was the 70s which means the holocaust was recent raw history - reframing it closer the awful event does not do him any favours.

It was empty - they are taking care to sink the empty ones.

(In the transport sector which is now the biggest bit)

Yup but that’s not counted in their emissions beyond the emissions of production is it? ( I’m absolutely not defending their status as a petrostate though!)
I guess the question was can we get anywhere close to the 8% a year reduction from electrification. uk experience is if you do it fast, yes
November 30, 2025 at 10:53 AM
In the uk it’s pushed down company car cos2 emissions by 11% in a year - but yes small pool of young vehicles which had very significant benefits to switching.

Norways a bit of a weird one in the 15% of the emissions are ferries, but even they are getting electrified rapidly

5 grand to betray your country, what a bunch of sellouts

It wouldn’t have been at Ukraine if it wasn’t a test - something further away
November 28, 2025 at 7:55 PM
Well EVs knocked 11.5% off in a year from the company car sector. It’s almost like they should be increasing fuel duty and regulating that crap out of curb side charging to bring the prices down
November 28, 2025 at 6:49 PM
They haven’t left enough room for the beer guts have they? They need more focus group testing.
November 28, 2025 at 6:16 PM
Of course “capable” has to be taken with a pinch of salt at this point
November 28, 2025 at 3:50 PM
Do we know if they informed the pentagon of the launch in advance? This is a proper ICBM, capable of hitting almost anywhere in the planet and they typically would have to?!
November 28, 2025 at 3:06 PM
That’s likely a r-36m, presumably a failed test. The Russian solid rocket motors use aluminium perchlorate

Nope and much more concerning yasny is the home of heavy liquid fueled icbms

Great ad but it sort of assumes they don’t go home to an empty apartment then beat the crap out of a prostitute.
November 27, 2025 at 10:31 PM
It’s been frozen for almost ever
November 27, 2025 at 8:14 PM
Yes but it’s still about quite a bit less per mile than the cost of recharging on our madly priced high speed charging network 🤷‍♂️

So the deal now is you get a better car, but unless you can charge at home mainly, it will cost you more to run. That ain’t gonna drive the transition we need
November 27, 2025 at 8:13 PM
You can be pretty confident a large chunk of them had jobs and paid tax even before you begin to consider if those jobs brought more value
November 27, 2025 at 12:56 PM
It was already kinda true, but now you get doubly reminded every time you tax it
November 27, 2025 at 12:55 PM
The ev tax is nuts while we have public charging costing double what they have on the continent.

They have literally just hammered home the message that evs make no financial sense if you can’t charge at home.
November 27, 2025 at 12:54 PM
And tax payer drain too
November 27, 2025 at 12:50 PM
Yes - and a lot of it is driven by eu nationals who have lived here for many years leaving. Not really sure why that’s a big win tbh
November 27, 2025 at 12:49 PM
Forcing councils to allow people to charge over pavements with wire protectors would solve a chunk of it. We do that, but it relies on a council not being daft. But fundamentally whilst lampposts and on street slow charging is vastly more than petrol per mile we WILL stall
November 26, 2025 at 6:44 PM
Right now if you don’t have the ability to charge at home and you are looking to get a new car, there is little to encourage you to go electric. And that’s the big chunk of people who need to start buying them if we are to continue making progress.
November 26, 2025 at 6:40 PM
I think the EV thing will hit harder than is predicted because it does nothing to address the fact they are only cheaper to run if you can charge at home. In fact it compounds that disadvantage by making them more expensive to tax (and they are already more to insure)
