There is no doubt about the fact that the oil industry is running scared, they are having to drill deeper and deeper in more remote places to extract this rapidly depleting resource and it is they who have over the years scuppered the development of the wonder battery and its associated developments by suppressing research and buying out patents and tech before they can flourish, I wouldn’t be surprised if they have done worse akin to the tactics of the underworld, this has certainly happened in the chemical industry, ever wondered why there are no drugs to cure certain ailments but there are some very expensive ones that will keep you alive if you take them?
This is no difference IMHO there are forces at work, call it 3rd world government if you like, the world is a plutocracy not a democracy where the power elite call the shots with the politicians just being the public face for what the organisation globally wants to achieve, I am not a religious person but I strongly believe there is such a thing as pure evil and it is this that is at the heart of what is going on globally.
Folks are right if they want the future to be Hydrogen it will be, we have little choice, we can fight against it as much as we like but there are massive forces at play here, I sincerely hope there will always be cars on the road powered off solar or wind but the man is going to have to get his dollar from you for it, whether its via taxation, sky high commodity pricing in the raw materials such as lithium etc.
Gloomy old stuff, we like to think we are free, we are free to do exactly what our government tells us to do! I actually despair and worry for the future, any government that can allow fracking to smash, drown and pollute the ground and the water we drink will take some stopping, Rage against the machine said it the best!! “WE GOTTA TAKE THE POWER BACK!”
Here’s Paul with the weather! “ Mostly windy and rainy continuing the wettest December on record”
