Hi CHERFUL,

Welcome back to posting.

The new government has many challenges facing it that's
for sure - but give them time. They haven't been in long
enough to warm the seat yet. The future lies with renewable.
And of course it will be expensive at first until it improves.
Remember the size of old computers? And look at today's lot.

Nothing worthwhile is easy. But it doesn't mean we should
keep on doing the same thing over and over again. We won't
get any different or better results that way will we?

FURTHER to my post above:_

Blaming Scott Morrison is an excuse and a cop out.
Blaming Scott Morrison, And I don't like him,is not the reason renewables sit in 2nd place.

It's because this will be decided in the consumer marketplace and at the moment the renewables are only sitting in 2nd place.
Of course the Greens want the Govt to bung up the price of their competitor, coal ARTIFICALLy, justifying it with this Manmade climate delusion. It's more about profits and self interest than it is about manmade global warming.

You know, the old horse called SELF INTEREST, disguised as pure motives, global warming.

Hi Foxy,
Thank you for your kind welcome. Lovely to be on here again with you. We are all trying to do our best in a confusing world.
Make sense of it and the best way forward. I admire people on here who like you, like to debate and don't just ignore what's happening.

Thank you dear Foxy

Thanks CHERFUL. I think listening to the views of others,
debating issues, respecting each other - is the way
things should go. Although I have to confess when the
right buttons are pushed - I can become unreasonable
as mu husband will tell you. But I am a work in progress,
and working on it.

Take care.

Hi Issy,

I had an electric vehicle about 60 years ago, it took one 'C' sized battery and ran perfectly for about 30 minutes, it even had a flashing light on top.

After claiming the Coalition was a "lay down misere" to win the election, you must be all cashed up with those juicy odds you got about Morrison what, 10/1. In fact you must have won so much you can now afford a free bus timetable to get you around.

Paul,
60 years ago I was driving an electric car, full size and road registered on the streets of Sydney, I also used to drive steam cars and a Sentinel and other steam lorries.
When Parramatta Rd had a number of railway lines crossing it it, it was a hoot to be behind a car as it was crossing kone then give a mighty blast on the steam whistle… instant acceleration!
I also used to have the pleasure of being a passenger in a 1906 Detroit electric, that was owned by an engineer who worked in theCBD and drove said electric to work from Tempe every day, it had a range of around 30 miles and he’d recharge at work; never let him down.
