  1. Remember when greenies wanted to save trees, not burn them for electricity..

  2. Net zero is an accounting trick. India and China can do all of this and still reach net zero. How? Because NET doesn't mean GROSS. NET means after you substract all the offsets. So all India and China have to do is send some money to parts of the world with little to no carbon emissions in order to have them "offset" those carbon emissions (that is to say on their books india and chinas emissions where actually theirs). Spread that across enough places and everyone looks on paper like they have low emissions while emissions actually grow. Net zero has always been a lie. It's a greenwashing scam to sell you products you don't want or need, and to gain support for higher prices. That's the entire point. Plastic bags at the shops didn't magically change from single use to multiuse because they started charging for them. They were literally the same bags only now you had to pay for them. Now they've got rid of the plastic and want to sell you inferior paper bags for 25c to $1 each defending on the store which ironically means we're cutting down trees that could otherwise sequester carbon. It's a huge lie that does nothing to benefit climate change.

  3. That polestar comment was absurd. If they could actually deliver cheaper, cheaper running, reliable, clean vehicles, they wouldn't need government legislation to compete. The market would just be buying them. That government needs to try to force these things on us tells you everything you need to know about them, and that it isn't for your benefit.

  4. Nup. They'll just use it to justify putting EVERYONE'S premiums up for all insurance types to spread the financial load.

  5. We've achieved net zero carbon too. It's NET zero, not gross. NET. We could declare net zero today while increasing carbon output. We just need to play with the numbers and buy "carbon credits" to cover the load. Net zero is an accounting trick, not a serious policy. It's a way to make the socialists happy without immediately collapsing the economy. That's the whole game.

  6. There aren't "nearly 300K people on the gold coast without power". You've misunderstood something somewhere. There are 240K people without power *across the whole of the region from noosa to northern nsw COMBINED*. There were just 15K people on the gc without power, but many of those have their power back. The bulk of the power outages are in northern NSW due to flooding. Does that invalidate your point about BEVs in a blackout? Absolutely not. They are worthless in an emergency. But it IS important to be accurate about what has actually happened. P.S. There was no cyclone, it turned into a tropical low before it hit the coast and the Bureau of Meteorology KNEW it would do that on Wednesday. They confirmed that this morning at Albos press conference. The whole thing is a farce.

  7. False. Completely and utterly false. FACT The world can achieve net zero today. It can also RETROSPECTIVELY achieve net zero for any year it wants. It's not GROSS zero, that is it isn't actual zero. It's NET zero. Net. As in the accounting term for after the balance sheet is settled. Like how your payslip* has a gross pay that your employer pays you, and a net pay that goes in your pocket after tax, super, whatever else comes out. It's an identical concept for "net zero". You start with your actual real world emissions. Then you deduct the emissions you've "offset" with "carbon credits". A carbon credit is when you have an empty piece of land with some trees in it, and they come up with a pretend number for how much carbon those trees are worth. You can sell your carbon credits multiple times, so don't worry. Buy enough carbon credits and you're able to subtract all the carbon you produced. Magically, net zero. It's an accounting scam and always was. The idea is to justify creating carbon credits, because they can be brought and sold as commodities, and they can be speculated on. Thus making the already obscenely weathly, even moreso. If you want to actually improve the environment you need to reduce population. That's already on its way down in the west. It's the developing countries that need to be sorted out. But there's no money to be made there and if they can't be distracted making babies they're liable to revolt, so it isn't happening.

  8. @matttravers5764  I mean listen, you can make that claim all day, but reality doesn't bear it out. The government is doubling down on BEV mandates and is even now trying to attract BEV manufacturers to Australia, something they'll fail at because of our insane energy prices due to poorly managed resource exports. The coalition may not support mandates, but they don't have a policy of removing existing mandates and do want to pump billions of tax dollars into charging stations and low interest loans for businesses wanting to buy BEV fleets. The uniparty want BEVs, because BEVs mean the average consumer won't have access to a private vehicle.

  12. Oh it's pretty much a given that Albos Labor are a one term government. The problem is that we'll probably just get LNP instead and then have more of the same, when what we really desperately need is 38 independents or more out of 151 seats to be voted in. This would take the power out of the party HQs and put it back into the electorates where it belongs

  13. @simonburling3762  They are legally required to accept all legal vehicle types as part of their licence. To stop accepting EVs would require them to stop covering any cars or other road vehicles at all. Didn't need new laws, those laws were put in place as early as 1936 in South Australia and as recent as 1994 in Queensland. So, at least 30 years ago, but almost a century in some parts of aus. Insurance providers aren't going to collapse a profitable business line in order to avoid EVs. They'll just put up premiums, it's simple and easy for them. No extra government pressure required. The truth is unless we get rid of the socialists from our politics, which to be clear is both major parties and all major-minor parties, then EVs are here to stay and the mandates will just become more aggressive until we're all stuck riding the bus.

  14. Have you ever noticed that the percentage of the market with a BEV, is almost identical to the percentage of the market with an iPhone? Coincidence, or did they just want to drive their iPhone all along?

  17. Imagine being as judgemental as Tim is about the brand of car people drive. The only cars I ever notice other people driving are BMWs and Telsas, and only then because they all seem to have gotten their licenses out of a cornflakes box. Probably because they're predisposed worrying about what others think of the brand of car they're driving that they aren't watching the road.

  18. Nup. They have government mandates to keep them in business. The whole point is to take away your private vehicle.

  22. @mischavanasperen3063  You are correct. Exponential population growth is required to support all economic systems that currently exist. A time will come when we have no choice but to invent a new form of capitalism that disincentivises population growth and thrives with population stability. That time is not today, but it will come.

  23. 10:47 This is happening in ICE vehicles too. Every major brand, both in the car and the app they want you to have on your phone. 5 major brands track how often you're "intimate" with someone... 5. For your own privacy and safety, do not buy ANY car made after 2011. Read the annual EEF vehicle manufacturer privacy report for more information. P.S. Dutton is as big a joke as Albo. It's all the uniparty

  24. @ldnwholesale8552  Dullar government? There's never been a PM named Dullar. Politics isn't supposed to be neat and tidy. Getting a legislation passed isn't supposed to be easy or straightforward. It's not a mess, it's democracy. Real democracy where the electorates have their say and hold politicians to account. That's how our modified Westminster system is designed to operate. 38 independents disrupts the parties, who are actually the problem

  26. @Puzzoozoo  This is false. You fail to acknowledge both the massive influence over the economy government has and the shift of said economy towards socialism. A market based pharmaceutical industry has prices for medications like in yankville. The PBS and a handful of regulators, mean you can buy the same medications in Australia for $30 tops that cost someone in yankville literally thousands. The market, left to itself, will self select for cheap energy. Yet energy prices are high. Why? Because government selects for high energy prices on the back of ideological agenda driven policy. Government regulations are government regulations and there's no getting around that. Such regulations can collapse a market completely, see the EU and Germany. Listen, there aren't enough minerals in the ground to give everyone a BEV, let alone on a replacement cycle necessary for li-ion cells. But no one in power seriously believes that BEVs can be given to everyone. That's not the point of them, that's just the premkse. The whole point of BEVs is to create a political landscape where regulations to phase out ICEV can succeed without revolt. It's a shift away from private vehicle ownership and towards mass transit. It's part of the overall shift towards a totalitarian socialist state we are currently experiencing. I'm not sure if you know this or not, but socialist states rig the market.

  27.  @justsomeguy934  You own a BEV 😂 makes sense why you can't see reality. Good luck with your sunken cost fallacy

  28. I don't see insurers leaving the market or jacking up prices for just EVs. They'll spread the cost across all policies of all types. So, get ready for your ICEV, home & contents and any other insurance you have to get more and more expensive so old mate down the block and have a BEV. Similarly I don't see putting up a no BEV sign as a realistic legal option. It wouldn't be enforceable in any meaningful way and may lead to being sued. Most buildings who cannot raise the money for the sprinklers just won't do anything. BEVs aren't going anywhere. There's too much money to be made in the short-term by mandating ownership so you essentially make every vehicle obsolete and force all vehicle owners to buy new cars, and in the medium to long term too much control over the population.

  29. Net zero isn't gross zero. Net zero is accounting. We could be net zero today if they wanted without making a single change. It's all a lie. The whole thing. It's greenwashing to make a few people very rich. That's the whole thing.

  30. It's not just BEVs. All vehicles made after 2011 do this. ALL of them.

  31. 7:28 You got that translation wrong. They're still bringing out BEVs. Their petrol and diesel models are on the luxury end of their product stack. The correct translation is, "EVs for thee but not for me." Which was always the plan.

  32. BEV is not the same as H-FCEV. BEV < ICE H-FCEV == ICE Please discuss H-FCEV, the actual future of automotive.

  36. @mischavanasperen3063  Without doubt. We already are. We've got the socialists who hijacked the green agenda in the 90s trying to implement their "utopia" which is and always as a dystopia for the common man. They're being supported by a subset of corporations and the mega rich. Those multinationals and mega rich who don't subscribe to the socialist agenda are trying to implement corporate feudalism which is the same thing as normal feudalism but with corporations, almost similar to the South Korean chaebol system. We've got the inevitable weakening of the west as we depopulated, whilst the developing world (which for some reason includes China) is not and China trying to leverage that to meet their 2040 goal. We've got BRICS fundamentally changing how global trade works, and geopolitical uncertainty following that (which increases the risk of wars and coup d'etats. We've got a global brain drain as millennials and zoomers fail to step up to take the place of previous generations with the same dedication and level of skill instead feeling as though they are entitled to more leisure (or as they call it in china, lying flat), we've got the ever expanding surveillance state, etc, etc, etc and that's just now. By the end of the century, I'm without doubt in agreement that humanity will see devastating suffering. It's going to be painful and there's a distinct possibility that if the wrong people seize power we end up in a new dark age.

  37. He thought he was going to be saving money, and he's upset that he won't be. That's the whole thing. It had nothing to do with the environment, it never does. It's always about the amount of money in a persons pocket, that's what motivates people to do pretty much anything. These BEVs get marketed as some kind of "hack" to save money on petrol and suckers go in for it only to get upset when it isn't what the marketing told them.

  38. Bank Australia are only the beginning. The big 4 will just slowly phase those loans out by denying them without ever saying the real reason. The banks control the insurance companies. So be very clear in understanding this, BEVs aren't going anywhere unless a government is formed that explicitly does something to pull them out of the market. Period. There is essentially zero chance of that, so this is the new reality going forward. It is only a matter of time before your ICEV will be illegal to not only drive but own just in case you ever try to drive it. You will be stripped of your freedom to travel.

  39. 4:56 Are you Aussie or British? Immigration is fine so long as it's managed well and the immigrants want to become aussies. Those who hold their source country in their heart shouldn't be here. Which are you?

  40. Saw this story the other day. It's unrealistic and dangerous. Guess those BEV fires are going to skyrocket if they actually try to roll this out somewhere.

  41. @klimatbluffen  The majority of BEV owners are zealots and do not want to go back to ICEV. You are only fooling yourself believing that BEVs are going away. They aren't. Government mandates will force ICEV off the roads. It's part of the plan.
