“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!

@davidho every new combustion vehicle, furnace, cook stove, water heater etc. will likely burn for another 20 years
Just small decisions individuals can make, most aren’t building a LNG terminal in their backyard but in the absence of a functioning government perhaps it’s the best we can do.
The crazy rhing is that #electrifyeverything and #renewables have brushed by price parity some time ago and financially, they are all lower cost.
#Fossilfuels like large SUVs and Detroits supersized pickups are propelled by a legacy marketing triumph, and now, pure disinformatiom by market players and their thinktank operatives.
" #ElectroStates are the exact opposite of #PetroStates. Electrified economies powered by renewables rely less on territorial control & more on technology, grids, manufacturing capacity & finance. #EnergyTransition is therefore not just an emission strategy, but a peace strategy."
