I thought electric cars can be centrally controlled ?It is however easier for the individual to generate their own electricity than it is to drill and refine their own oil. In this regard electric vehicles offer more, not less independence from the grid.
Just a thought.
Yeah, I've heard something like that.I thought electric cars can be centrally controlled ?
Or maybe just Tesla's ?
Apartment/High Rise/Flat dwellers excepted, of courseIt is however easier for the individual to generate their own electricity than it is to drill and refine their own oil. In this regard electric vehicles offer more, not less independence from the grid.

In the UK at the moment electric vehicles pay no road fund licenseThe more EV's that appear on the road, the more the impetus to tax drivers by the mile.
So, we will pay for license fees as we now do, plus tax on gasoline for those of us still using ICE's, and then again for mileage by mandatory GPS reporting devices to be installed in all new vehicles.
More reason for me to hold onto my 1977 F150!
And those GPS devices, mandated so those driving EV's will pay their "fair share" of road use taxes, will be tapped to find who attended certain political rallys, and protest events,

If you're living in a city at that point, you either don't care or can't do a damn thing about it sorry to say.Apartment/High Rise/Flat dwellers excepted, of course

I can't see this situation carrying on forether
Ez-Pass, road cameras, satellite images, facial recognition and smart phones if they want to know where you are/where you've been.The more EV's that appear on the road, the more the impetus to tax drivers by the mile.

I've got an 87, they didn't think much about mpg in those daysThe more EV's that appear on the road, the more the impetus to tax drivers by the mile.

Get a job in the food industry, people always got to eat ,there is always work. .Just been told at work that all overtime will be stopped from Monday for the foreseeable
Most of our work is new build offices
Very little work has come in the drawing office for the last 2 years or so
Big offices in the square mile were our bread n butter work
Who needs them now?
As we work 2 years in advance on most projects this is no surprise
I feel sorry for the younger blokes one of them I know already uses a food bank
Once he's paid the rent ,put fuel in his car etc he still needs to feed his kids
I have been in a similar position myself but nowhere near as bad
Oh well
I guess the same could be said of the funeral industryGet a job in the food industry, people always got to eat ,there is always work. .
But nobody needs 'three square' burials a dayI guess the same could be said of the funeral industry
Sad but trueI guess the same could be said of the funeral industry
On the contrary, the normal reactors produce extremely "hot" waste that lasts a VERY, VERY long time. Breeder reactors are very different. I know wiki's are not perfect, but this is an interesting read:@marshg246
I agree with you, Bro, on all but breeder reactors. They produce wastes that hang around too long. It is immoral to saddle the future generations with those wastes. And, we have had one too many Chenobyl's and Fukashimas's.
Your point that the free market is the best determiner of progress is well taken. If only the government would follow. With government, we have politicians who cannot run a lemonade stand, picking winners and losers in industry, and the winners are those who fund their election campaigns the most. That recipe gets us more politicians who are good at milking the cash cows.
