The #ford #ceo finally took a long #trip in an #ev - and realised how much of a pain in the arse it is: https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/for.. Maybe he now understand why nobody wants one, and people are even *returning* them in favour of #fuel #vehicles .
Now a #bbc #journalist has been #beaten in #china , and #china 's #ccp have told their people that he was helping #fuel the #riots , despite only #reporting on them: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/u.. I agree with #timloughton - the #uk need to get #serious with #china 's #ccp . They have gotten away with too much shit. #expel the entire #consulate , they have done more than enough shit to deserve it.
I was just talking about #hydrogen #fuel recently. It turns out that it is not very #viable for #personal #vehicles according to #engineeringexplained https://youtube.com/watch?v=vJjKwSF9gT8 Looks like #hydrogen #storage is not yet a #solved #problem .
Yeah... An #estimated 26 #million #british people will apparently be in #fuel #poverty by the #winter of 2023/2024: https://www.zerohedge.com/political/fran.. This is why I have put several #plans in motion to prevent this happening to me. It will still be close, though.
For the #protests #yesterday across the #uk were for insane #fuel #prices , where the people are asking for #tax cuts: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/u.. Essentially they are asking to be able to #purchase #fuel in order to #drive to #work , to ultimately #stimulate the #economy . The #uk #government needs to figure out how to #reduce the #cost .
Oh shit, #srilanka 's #government is now #fuel #rationing to #essential #services only: https://www.newsfirst.lk/2022/06/27/brea.. This does not bode well for normal people...
Very interesting, it appears the #eu are still #buying #refined #russian #fuel by #blending it with fuel from other #source - called a #latvian #blend https://www.bloombergquint.com/gadfly/uk.. Apparently this is running through #shell to #bypass #sanctions , interesting indeed.
Ouch, tonnes of #valuable #fuel #reserves #contaminated in #singapore as it was heavily #contaminated with #sulphur https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/bu.. Apparently it caused the #engines to stop working and #corrode ! Really not great at all!
Insane if true, apparently #ukrainian #forces have #destroyed a #russian #fuel #depo - in #russia https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/u.. This really is a massive #escalation in the #invasion as this is a #direct #attack on #russian #soil .
Quite frankly #disgusting #reaction by the #us #media about rising #fuel #prices https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbfMUcgx.. As if #buying a #tesla in an option...
Holy shit. As #jefftaylor #reports , #russian #tanks appear to be #stranded due to running out of #fuel and #russian #soldiers appear to be running out of #food https://youtube.com/watch?v=2GhtaYZU9_g I #speculated that #russia would not #invade #ukraine for exactly this reason - that they did not have the #assets ready to establish a forward operating #base ... If #kyiv can hold out a little longer then #russian forces will be forced into a #retreat ! Well damn!
Would you look at that, zero #progress on #climatechange at the G20 #meetup - despite burning tonnes of #jet #fuel in their #privatejets to get there: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/g..
#local #chinese people are now running out of #fuel such as #diesel and #petrol as #rationing begins: https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/chinese.. #china 's #ccp has really #failed so far to get it under control, even with #strict controls over #supply and #demand - there are still rolling #blackouts , #suspended #production / #manufacturing and now #transportation #fuel #shortages . #christmas is going to get rough!
More #fuel on the #fire for #china 's #ccp with a #covid #outbreak likely soon: https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/china.. This is really looking like a #perfectstorm - with #energy #crisis , #food #shortage , #shipping #spikes , #storms , #failing #infrastructure (including #dams ), failing #property #sector - the list goes on. And this sort of thing is piling up around the world.
It's not enough that #environment #activists are coming for the #fuel in your #car - they want to get rid of the #automotive #industry entirely - no more personal #transport https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIBeIKAo.. As #jefftaylor suggests, the #uk is failing to #invest into future #demand - it can't even handle today's demand!
#goldmansachs also sees the #automotive #industry #production #shrinking https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/goldma.. I saw people joking about driving an #ev instead of #fossil #fuel as the #uk fuel #shortage gets worse, but they can't #manufacture them! Worst still, #electricity is getting more #expensive as there's no #wind #power and #russia 's #gas prices are skyrocketing!
