The war in Iran underlines how fossil fuel addiction makes Australian road freight vulnerable. As the truckies’ bumper sticker puts it, “When trucks stop, Australia stops”. There are electric options.

Hmm I'm on a train back from Ballarat to Melbourne, and we stopped a while at Rockbank due to a "train fault". From talking to the conductor, sounds like the hose which drops sand on the track came unstuck. We're moving now, anyway, at cautious speed. Fingers crossed!
I had to fuel up with 20 litres of diesel just now. The price has reached $3/litre compared to $1.68/litre two weeks ago. I wonder how quickly battery electric vehicles are being imported these days.
I'll be at the Clunes Book Town Festival this weekend selling my books! If you're in the region of #Ballarat or #Bendigo come along and say hi!
