Just been sent a total pro fossil fuel non story from the ABC in Australia. Saying you should keep your car fuelled during bush fire season so you can get away. Fair enough. Then there's a picture of a hybrid petrol car with some fire damage . . from a bush fire . . which they describe as 'an EV'

Picture of a Mitsubishi Outlander hybrid petrol car parked on side of road where there's been a bush fire. It is slightly damaged.

After the electric Ferrari Luce, comes the Bentley Torcal. Built in the UK, from the ground up as a 100% electric luxury SUV. OK, I know we need smaller, lighter, cheaper cars, but every now and then something a bit spesh turns up. And this is proper spesh. youtu.be/yPaiXXcBzrc

I’m currently driving the BYD Seal 6 touring DMI. It’s a plug in hybrid which, I’ve discovered can only charge at 7 kW. However when I started this trip, it had 720 miles range. But I’ve had to buy petrol for the first time in 12 years. #shock. On Everything Electric soon.

Everything we use is dug up or grown. In this fascinating and optimistic podcast I learn how one company, Fortescue, is digging up gigatons of iron ore and will soon do so without burning any fossil fuel. Deffo worth a listen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvKc...

10 years ago electric vans were, well, a bit embarrassing. Too expensive, not much range. Now, only a fool would buy a new diesel van. (In case you don't know, a 'tradie' is the Australian for white van person, because anyone can drive a white van yeah.) #woke 😜 youtu.be/4_hntrkW9MM

A total of 28,063 electric cars were newly registered in the UK in August. This represents an increase of 27.7 per cent compared with the same month last year and means that BEVs accounted for 29.8 per cent of all new passenger car registrations last month. (Courtessy of SMMT)

The reason I asked was because, as far as I understand it, I have an article publisahed in it today. 'Electric Cars Won't Save The Planet.' (Of course they won't, they are just much better machines than the old fashioned ones we've been using for 120 years)

I know very little about the history of Professor Jason Arday. However I have lived in this country for 70 years and I know there is a lot of plagerism and curruption in acedemia. I also know this scandal would not have happened if he was a fat old white bloke like me. It's racism pure and simple.
