Agreed. It’s not a clean solution to transport at all. It also suffers the same (actually more so) range anxiety as Battery Electric Vehicle (#BEVs ), the latter of which is being addressed with more charging points and lower charging times in the offing.

It maybe cheaper to run than #FossilFuel fed Internal Combustion Engines ( #ICE) , but not as cheap as BEVs (zero cost if you have a home PV system).

Any transport technology is cheaper when govt incentives are in the mix. This was so when we builkt cars in AUS, as well as for gas powered cars and is currently so for BEVs (though the latter is waining — a crazy policy move IMO).

There are no comprehensive transport solutions to our current planetary crisis other than electrification of all transports systems in Australia. We have Sun and Wind a plenty and Batteries will soon be ubiquitous on the #Grid provided Govt(s) give up on their #Complicit and expensive support to #ExtractiveIndustries. The #ABC of all msm platforms ought to desist from giving voice to an industry that has failed Australians for decades. There never was a social licence for #Grifters, #Profiteers and despoilers of the #land that was never ceded.

There. I’ve said my piece on the matter. Thank you Susan for tooting about it.

That's pretty much how I saw it too.

And now I'm open to Lidia's vision of a treaty discussion happening.

🔗 https://events.humanitix.com/truth-telling-and-treaty-forum

Event brief: "A Truth Telling & Treaty forum In conversation with Senator Lidia Thorpe, Uncle Gary Foley, Uncle Jim Everett and others.

This event aims to provide an opportunity to hear from First Nations Elders and leaders about where to go from here on First Nations Justice.

We will be discussing the importance of Truth Telling as the first step – looking at current developments, and what a national Truth Telling process would contribute. We will also discuss what genuine, inclusive Treaty processes would look like, from the grassroots to National & International levels.

Treaty must be for the people, by the people. It has to come from the ground up, and each of us have a role to play in making it happen."
