Well this is bad news. I knew about the risks of cooking with methane gas were being underplayed but had no idea that benzene could be leaking nonstop! Time to electrify!

“China, the “Electrostate,” has been planning for this showdown with America, the “Petrostate,” for more than a decade.” #electrifyeverything #stopburningstuff #climate #IranWar #EmpireInDecline

Another opinion piece about the unfairness of the fuel excise as EV drivers don’t pay it. It would be fine if the issue was about fairness however it is really about rapidly decarbonising cars. We are faced with a rolling train wreck with our fossil fuel caused climate crisis. We need to electrify everything and now is not the time to talk about taxes the penalise people making the change. Certainly a change is needed to ensure the budget can be balanced but not at the expense of slowing the transition for perceived “fairness”. The system is inherently unfair as it is designed to boost EV sales and drive the transition.

Seems a golden opportunity! Who could argue against electrifying public transport today? It’s really a no brainer!
