EV car fires are a thing.
EV cars catch fire. 

Yeah, good thing IC engine cars carrying gallons of gasoline never catch fire.

--Ultimately, what DeSantis is dangling is less like a carrot and more like a ticking bomb. Pardoning domestic terrorists is setting up the nation for decades of pain that ought to be put behind us. How do we know? Because it

DeSantis is a creepy little terrorist. The same can be said of any candidate seeking the GOP nomination outside possibly Hutchinson.

sorry cut off? Checking Hutch no. Only Kamala for me and she is blocked. Dem fringe have gotten rid of Susan Rice and all centrists. Have to wait to see how it unfolds. Sleepy joe stopped Trump but presided over the disaster at the border, going to hurt for decades and possibly turn the US into a banana land.

I object to be going to have to sit up in the dark, have cold showers, have no heating, eat cold food etc...all because the "climate change emergency" brigade don't understand that there should be 'sensible transition' to renewables, if renewables will even work in eliminating the need for fossil fuels in future.

The overall trigger for the end of the last ice age came as Earth's orientation toward the sun shifted, about 20,000 years ago, melting the northern hemisphere's large ice sheets.

Relax the matter is in the hands of scientists who have been made aware of the situation. Mankind finally has covid under control and they can guide us into the future. Main thing now is to get nukes out of the control of clowns.

 Western Australia...

US lithium company Albemarle announced on Wednesday it would build two extra trains at its Kemerton site, north of Bunbury, to process the valuable metal, which is used in the production of batteries.

The expansion would double the amount of lithium hydroxide produced at Kemerton to 100,000 tonnes annually to support 2.4 million electric vehicles a year.

Well there you go.

North of Sydney, on the coast, about 200km there is a place called Eraring.
At Eraring there is a coal-fired power station, and salt water lake.

"Eraring" is due to close in 2025, 7 years early.

Seems bambu is not the only one concerned about its closure with nowhere near enough renewables available to replace its electricity generation.
No1 morning radio host today announced that the state govt has realised that "Eraring" will need to keep operating for another decade at least, so people won't be left with no lighting, and no heating or cooling etc.

Some folks know climate change/global warming is real.

It is the right wing that is against transitioning.

Australia has plenty of sun, and Lithium for batteries, they are a step ahead of many places.

Salute,

Republican work requirements for food assistance wind up costing us billions adding to the debt.

Republican cruelty and stupidity is always both worthless and expensive.
