ΓιανίρηςWhat is the difference between "Fuel" and electricity, other than having a vehicle whose internals most people can not repair or not worth the repair cost?
Oil Gas and Coal are by far (85%+) the global fuel transformed to electricity, at scary waste of power to heat, steam, transmission, copper dependence, and abuse of lithium mining
Alex@rtnVFRmedia Suffolk UKHad #MOT (compulsory #vehicle inspection) for #GolfGTI this week (first one since I got it last year)
Took slightly longer than my previous #cars - there are twin exhausts and both must be tested!
Passed with 0 advisories and very good emissions test - only 18ppm of #hydrocarbons which is very good as it means #petrol is being used as much as possible to power the engine rather than going out of exhaust unburned - just as well with price of the stuff at the moment (as well as #environment impact!)
I fitted new #sparkplugs last November, replaced the air filter and did oil service which looks like it has paid off - am going for 6 month oil changes as widely recommended for #EA888 engine ( helps keep timing chain in good condition longer)
Bob DownieThe North Sea is a classic example of a mature hydrocarbon basin. Essentially stated, the large reserves are the easiest to find & are found first. As time goes on further discoveries are increasingly hard to find & at significantly higher cost.
Anyone who thinks that the North Sea will help give the #UK any energy security needs to do their homework (or could people calling for increased N Sea drilling just perhaps be playing politics?). #energy #hydrocarbons

Excerpt: "Toxic Emissions From Damaged #Oil Facilities
A spokesperson for the World Health Organization, Christian Lindmeier, stated on 17 March that the destruction of #Iran's oil infrastructure released hazardous #hydrocarbons, #SulfurOxides, and #NitrogenCompounds into the atmosphere.
When rain combines with these #pollutants, it can lead to #ChemicalBurns and #LungInjury. He emphasized the seriousness of the situation and noted that authorities in Iran have urged residents to remain indoors.
"#BlackRain refers broadly to rainfall contaminated with atmospheric pollutants, explains Farzana Kastury, an environmental scientist at Adelaide University in Australia. Such rain often results from bushfire smoke or the burning of heavy fuels, which are by-products of crude #OilRefining.
In Iran's case, the black rain likely contains pollutants generated from the combustion of these fuels during fires triggered by missile attacks, including substances such as #acetone, #toluene, and #carcinogenic compounds like #benzene and #methylenechloride ."

''... To me, this black rain indicates toxic #pollutants such as #hydrocarbons, ultrafine particles known as #PM2.5, and #carcinogenic compounds called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have made their way into the rain.''

The Ottoman Empire Is Back? Inside Turkey’s Sweeping Oil Deal That Sidelines Somalia’s Parliament And Public | Saxafi Media
A leaked hydrocarbons agreement reveals the Ottoman Empire is back and Turkey will take up to 90% of Somalia’s oil and gas output, bypass Somali law, and export freely abroad — raising constitutional, economic, and sovereignty concerns
