GAS BOILER BAN
The latest piece of loony greenwash from the warmists:
From https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-57149059 The International Energy Agency (IEA) says that no new fossil fuel boilers should be sold from 2025 if the world is to achieve net-zero emissions by the middle of this century. It's one of 400 steps on the road to net-zero proposed by the agency in a special report. The sale of new petrol and diesel cars around the world would end by 2035. The IEA says that from now, there is no place for new coal, oil or gas exploration or supplies. |
Ban sunshine.

From https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-57149059 Why not ban volcanoes too? Or forest fires and every other natural disaster. There'd be fewer forest fires in future if we can limit climate change. In re operational capability, while battery power for some military vehicles may be great, its still heavy and we need electricity. A little deployable nuclear plant sounds great but would be a messy target. So we may be a way off this. Biofuels have their own issues but if we can produce them without basically starving developing world children by nicking their food to make ethanol, might be good. Otherwise we need interim solutions based on efficiency and reduced fossil fuel use, and efficiency and reduced fuel use means military advantage. |
Salute!
Good news for the hybrid military vehicles, and from Oz, no less. Link could be paywalled, but try the "private page" option. Aluminum-ion batteries are just the ticket for my pickup truck in the hills. Going downhill I can charge much faster than the current Ii-on things that catch fire and weight a lot. As the dude says, these batts are like capacitors, so charging is in econds and not minutes or even hours. Only problem I see is the military vehicles need a reliable source of volts and amps at the home base or even the mobile outpost for the initial launch. That is the long pole in the tent. For long range cruise, no way but fossil fuel or biofuel. Try: https://www.forbes.com/sites/michael...h=7631303c6d28 Gums sends... |
