Yeah but, we can discover the truth by way of practical experiment!One thing for sure, we will never be told the truth. Same with the Merc at McDonalds Newbridge on August
15th last. The owner must have been bought off.
The free money spigot is turned off.I was referring to the fact that nothing can stop green zealots in the short term because they refuse to comply with the SEA Directive to assess their mad schemes. In the long term reality should stop them. They do not give up spending taxpayers money. Ryan said in the Dail he was experimenting. That is what the Directive was meant to prevent. When backed into a corner they will suggest some other mad alternative which will leave the previous model obsolete. Like a Lanz tractor or a steam train.
Agreed, but I feel even that zealotry might be losing its impact -I was referring to the fact that nothing can stop green zealots in the short term because they refuse to comply with the SEA Directive to assess their mad schemes.

Cars of all types tend to self combust because of electrical faults causing shorts etc, and EVs are nothing but switches and batteries and motors and wiring.....Yeah but, we can discover the truth by way of practical experiment!
Let's consider it a scrapheap challenge of sorts? Different scenario's can be rigged and tweaked to replicate the live car park / ship transport environments.
We can have one where a large diesel car can be made to go on fire when parked next to two EV's and the results recorded . . .
It'd be a difficult job to get a Diesel car to self combust in the way the news suggests actually happened, anyway if it did then it probably had an EV next to it and that caused the inferno.![]()

Well yes, but we have to be careful to distinguish between the cause and the effect. It is reported that a Range Rover had flames billowing out of its underside as it drove around the car park, and that was the cause. Normally such a fire would be easily and quickly dealt with if it was a petrol/diesel car.Yeah but, we've not known such a fire as Luton occurring in a car park full of diesels & petrol vehicles?
If there were EVs nearby the burning vehicle and they caught alight then we are in a whole different ball game.
I would guess so, and there own space on deck, on a ferry.We can safely assume that's what happened - Diesel car bursts into flames ignites other cars including EV's!
From now on EV's need their own outdoor parking spaces safely away from all other sources of combustion?

Just wondering, are you a homosexual Sir?My partner went looking for a new car.
But it certainly is climate change, do you think it's something else, what would that be?How soon before the Green Lobby jumps on the Cork floods and uses Climate change as the reason?
There's just no stopping, mr wonderingJust wondering, are you a homosexual Sir?
She would be awfully disappointed if I was.Well he said his "partner" not his girlfriend or his missus. And no-one would let a woman go look at a car on her own.
I've no complaint though. His sexuality is his business![]()
I do feel I am witnessing a public revolt OK. I have helped bring that time forward a little in Ireland.Agreed, but I feel even that zealotry might be losing its impact -
The headlong rush to net zero carbon emissions by 2050, pursued for so long by democratic governments across the globe regardless of cost, has finally hit the buffers of voter resistance.

Andrew Neil: Everywhere, there’s a growing public revolt against net zero, forcing politicians across Europe to renege on green virtue signalling
