Message: <blockquote data-quote="A Man Called Charolais" data-source="post: 83701">This is circulating - there seems to be receding of enthusiasm for electric vehicles.  It's to do with more wear on the tires due to the vehicle being significantly heavier - this produces micro-particulates which are more toxic than fumes from combustion.  There's also a note on  emissions which is more about the location than the amount - from an exhaust stack in a power station rather than distributed around the road system.  It may be better from  public health point of view to emit from a central location than inhabited areas.<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-13155147/ev-pollution-worse-exhaust-emissions-study.html" target="_blank">Electric cars release MORE toxic emissions than gas-powered vehicles and are worse for the environment, resurfaced study warns - Daily Mail</a>There was sabotage on the electricity supply to the Tesla factory in Germany by an Antifa type group there.  Good thing Elon has his Cambrian rocket company.<a href="https://www.dw.com/en/germany-tesla-gigafactory-hit-by-far-left-sabotage/a-68440976" target="_blank">Germany: Far-left group claims act of sabotage on Tesla - DW News</a>There's also been a diminishment in practical commitment by Millennials and Gen Z as they begin to pay for things themselves.  This means there is a young constituency that is unenthusiastic about costly Five Year Plans.  This gave Sunak and Staimer the slack to row back on climate promises in Britain.  There's still a large lobbyist infrastructure in the political system so the topic will remain front and center for a while, despite reduced public interest.<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/nearly-half-youngsters-unable-spend-10-month-combat-climate-change-poll-finds" target="_blank">Poll: Nearly Half Of Young People Won't Spend $10 Monthly On Climate Action - Zerohedge</a>Meanwhile there's been massive decrease in nickel and lithium prices due to slower growth in anticipated demand and an excess of supply.<a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-01-26/examining-the-drastic-downturn-in-nickel-and-lithium-prices/103388902" target="_blank">What's behind the drastic downturn in nickel and lithium prices, and what does it mean? - ABC News Aus</a>The<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjpPrP7ists" target="_blank"> pogo ball</a> component of the EV market appears to be waning. There are commercial challenges that are confounding the original plans, especially in the capacity of the electricity network and the price point of EVs.Still, an excellent choice for urban driving - especially compact cars, ranged driving is better done with an internal combustion engine though.  The current thing is to encourage shank's mare and cycling.  I think there will be ever greater pressure and measures applied to reduce households to one car.  We'll see how that floats once mummies realise that's the trajectory but they're going to decommissioned on Friday so does it really matter?</blockquote>
