Bill Shorten - how long?

[MC Bad Genius]

I know that most people hereabouts will vote for Labor or the Greens, but it would be nice to understand.... for the love of god why??? This buisiness of 50% of cars to be electric by 2030 is CLASSIC Labor.

You have Bill and Albo straight up lying when they say there's technology that will have cars charged in 10 minutes. It takes 48 hours to charge a car on a normal outlet, 7 hours on a fast charge. It even takes 1 hours if you take the car to the manufacturer million dollar charger.

Charging a car is the equivalent drawdown as turning on two airconditioners. What will that do to the grid? What if the car is in an accident is it then an electified hazard? What happens to the batteries after they are buggered? Where do you charge cars when you are on the road?

Typical incompetent Labor

I'm just gonna leave this here. The question is, will Balls In actually watch the video?

I would have thought you’d legislate early adoption, to create a market, to support local industry.

That’s why it makes sense in the US, China and Germany........but not here.

In Oz you’d simply let market forces do their thing online with global standards which are clearly headed in that direction anyway.

I think I said that in other threads. This is about the govt not knowing their own policies

Pa pow. Labor knows scomo would bite at this. Master trolling

She is a sweeter version of Paul keating. Our future pm just giggling in the background

This election is not a fair fight

I hope they are right being personally invested in lithium mining, but 50% of new cars electric in only 11 years time???

A lot of manufacturers are already saying that they won't be making petrol or diesel powered vehicles by then. They'll all be hybrids or electric, with (possibly) a few hydrogen powered options thrown in as well.

Australia doesn't have a car manufacturing industry, so where the rest of the world goes we are bound to follow.

I think that the Chinese government has mandated 100% electric vehicles by 2050 and India reckons it will ban the sale of diesel and petrol cars by 2030.

It may sound a long way off but it's not really. Think mobile phones in the 1980's the size of small eskies and the size of mobile phones about ten years later.

With a Liberal National Party in government, Australia remains rooted to the 1960's thinking that progress is a "fad". We can see that when we adopted a "carbon tax" or whatever you want to call it and that put us miles in front of everyone else and placed us in a position to move in and sell our expertise and merchandise abroad when the rest of the world caught up but no, along comes medieval Abbott and his knuckledragers and we go hurtling back to 1928 without a Science Minister and now the world hasn't just caught up, it's flown past us.

It's the same with this technology. We have the chance to get into the future of transport relatively early and set ourselves up as an integral part of this evolving technology but the flat earth LNP want us to focus on SUV's or whatever the hell you call 'em.

Except we were more forward looking back in the twenties and sixties.

They're the same people that say "you can't stop progress".

But "progress" to them means little more than gouging minerals out of the ground or clearing forest on an industrial scale.

I particularly liked this quote from Dave Sharma:

"I support seeing more electric cars on the road [but] I would not be going round setting targets. Electric cars might be made obsolete by autonomous vehicles."

Is he suggesting that autonomous vehicles WON'T be electric?

That comment came at the tail end of her talking about whether or not the grid would be able to handle electric cars. Apparently you find it uproariously funny that the grid might be affected by someone downloading on his home internet.

Considering this entire video was supposed to be someone speaking "off the cuff" about how the other mob don't know what they're talking about, do I really need to say any more?

Ok, now concentrate. Just bear with me for a sec.
How does someone downloading on their home internet affect the electricity grid?

I almost choked on my nutri Grain when i saw sharma yesterday going on about targets.
Considering the LAST time they tried for a target and it resulted in a PM being knifed i'd shut the **** up


Nah not our daffid

You don't know the entire " stuart roberts massive internet bill " thing ?

Oh, for god's sake.
You know, politically I probably lean slightly left wing. I'm probably going to vote Labor at the next election, because they seem at this point in time to be far more switched on than their Liberal counterparts.

But associating with you lot would be just embarrassing, and I'm really glad I don't have to.

God that is a brilliant job of skewering the Libs.
It won't gain any traction though because as Betoota Advocate foretold yesterday, the Libs have a new crisis on their hands.

Honestly if you were writing a screenplay you'd change the script because it just wouldn't be believable.

 

[Mofra]

Didn't stop their two most senior MPs blatently lying about its viability. Its horrifying though when you consider the brain farts actually put into motion by them last time. Buisiness cases written on the back of coasters etc. They are just as likely to start legislating for it.

Any comment on the Libs policy that is remarkably similar?
