Steely why do you people talk so much garbage.

Renewables excluding hydro currently produce 3.2% of the worlds power, & that most variably & unreliably.

There is not enough money in the entire system to build the capacity to generate enough power to charge electric cars, let alone do it reliably at a time when it is likely to be required.

I have absolutely no problem with idiots wasting their money in any way they wish, on one condition. The tax payer is not required to subsidise their foolishness. If electric cars are no longer given subsidies & their fuel generation & distribution is funded entirely by those electric car owners, I have no complaint.

When the whole activity is driven, like alternate power generation, by shysters, I will knock it at every turn.

SR,

I'm puzzled, given that most electricity is generated from fossil fuels, the power driving electric cars is largely fossil fuel generated, and given the losses in generating, transmitting power and battery losses for electric cars let alone the higher power consumption in building them it is an open secret that electric vehicles lead to more CO2 emissions than petrol driven cars.

Of course, in France with 80% nuclear driven generation this figure would probably move in the other direction.

Until Aus moves to CO2 free baseload, electric cars will be more about virtue signalling than emission reduction.

Do we all understand we yes me too can get it wrong? and do we all know on both sides of this debate teams of shonky experts are toiling away putting lies in front of us.
We know, unless our information comes from the latest Marvel comic book, some thing is taking place.
Fires in the arctic circle, ice melting at both ends, extreme heat/cold.
Maybe we can ask why is the climate changing but surely not demand that it is not.
We hear the left conspiracy theory about one world and climate change being a tool they use.
Any chance the other side can be talked about
Why are some, after reading that comic book and little if any thing else on the subject convinced only their view matters?

The production of green technology is an emission catalyst, worse than fossil fuel.
frivolous industries/activities are up there among the worst offenders.

Belly mate, that is utter garbage.

You have to get your head out of those propaganda publications if you want to know the facts, & get to the truth.

Don't trust anything with a green tinge, or a left leaning slant, they will feed you bulldust, after all they require millions of useful idiots to get their destructive ideas in force. Just a quick look at the green/left controlled ABC should convince any fair minded person of this.

Hasbeen please! my thoughts are based on well researched science.yours mate seem to be based on the print your fish and chips came in.
Good to see both you and Shadow Minister about had not seen you for a while.
if our intention is to move with the times Nuclear power is the future of power.
While we wait for common sense to let that happen fake figures about clean energy is changing nothing
