Chronicles of a stable genius - all the biggliest stuff

Once the carpark tilts in time 50% to EV those savings will be decreased big time.
Where are Govs going recover all that lost revenue tax’s - sure maybe on other later new sources or services but don’t think solar and battery charging is going to stay as low cost as it is during the infancy stages.

Solar is free if you have it on the roof. I produce 50kw a day. I use 4kw. I can actually produce 120kw a day but the grid limits my input to it to 5kw an hour. That means there's a fuckton of electricity that's being generated by me (and hundreds of thousands of others) that's going literally nowhere. Once batteries scale up this won't be an issue. It's actually a good thing but for some reason people want to politicise it. If batteriers were $7.5k for a house I'd buy one tomorrow. I've been quoted $13.5k - $15k. The NSW government has a rebate that's starting today. Batteries are coming down all the time or the capacity is going up for the same amount. It's a matter of when not if.

My power bills went from $3k a year to about $400. I'll recover the cost of the install in 4 years. The inverter is guaranteed for 15 years, the panels for 25. It's a no brainer.

Yes fuel excise and lost revenue is an issue but the government will just introduce a road tax like Victoria has already done for EVs. (Or was going to.)

The fact that we can go energy independent is something we should be happy about but fuckheads in the LNP, Sky and Murdoch seem to want to run interference. I would love one of those clowns to explain the downside of not relying on the middle east for our fuel.

The plus side also is with a huge uptake in EVs petrol should actually come down as there'll be less demand. People who are completely anti EV should be telling aspiring EV owners to get on board ASAP.

Joe Biden has called all Trump supporters as 'Garbage' in his latest interview, now the left is scrambling to save face.

it's the equivalent of scoring an own goal.

this really happened

this really happened

A while back you said Trump doesn't believe what he's saying when he says kids are going to school and coming back home with a sex change and yet he's said it since then multiple times at multiple rallies and in multiple interviews. (Per the above clip.) Here's a serious question. Do you actually think he believes that OR he's just lying his arse off.

Just answer the question.

I said its hyperbole. I stand by it.
Why you're fixated on this is beyond me.

As much as I love cars, you're right. As soon as electricity/battery capability is good enough for anything I need to do (and of course affordability of a new electric car), I'll be jumping all over it.

Youve both got me wrong ..... EV cars may very well one day be "good enough" I just dont beleive that will be for a long long time yet....

I love it, according to MAGA Biden the senile zombie freak suddenly knows what he means.

Anyway, lucky he's not running for president again.

They said the whole of Puerto Rico was a garbage dump or something along those lines. Also called Detroit a shithole at a rally IN DETROIT.

Not forgetting that he also said he wished his generals were more like Hitler's.

The bloke is a genius.

That’s where I’m at - yes Muz agree on your solar panels etc that’s a given.
EV tax will hike as has been building up like in Vic other States will folllow and all the incentives are about done.
Long way off yet, as NCB mentions, Toy company one of the biggest in the world are still not convinced but going hybrids more and more.
If and when they change that will really influence the carpark.

A neighbour of mine bought the BYD Atto and let me drive it for a few weeks whilst he was on holidays on the provisio that I keep it charged & wash it. I drove about 500km's in it. I have to disagree, it's pretty good, range of about 350-400km depending on how your drive. The acceleration of the lights even in "ECO" mode is fantastic. Nice inside, screen is easy to use, decent storage for a mid size SUV. The future is here. The Chinese took Elon's EV patent that he gave away and are kicking goals with it. Don't have to worry about fuel, the only issue is that it takes a long time to charge at each stop on a very long drive. For example a Sydney to Melbourne drive while it can be done will add at least two hours of time charging so there is that. However it's a case for just in metro driving it's great. Just put it on the charge twice a week.

Does this qualify?

Did Donald Trump praise Hitler? What we know

Former White House chief of staff John Kelly said Trump expressed admiration for the loyalty shown by Adolf Hitler's generals.

www.newsweek.com

Journalists Peter Baker and Susan Glasser said in their 2022 book The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021 that Trump had asked Kelly "why can't you be like the German generals?" When Kelly replied that German generals "tried to kill Hitler three times and almost pulled it off" Trump reportedly replied: "No, no, no, they were totally loyal to him."

Kelly gave a separate account of the "German generals" conversation with Goldberg. The chief of staff said he replied: "Do you mean [Otto von] Bismarck's generals?

He added: "I mean, I knew he didn't know who [19th-century German Chancellor] Bismarck was, or about the Franco-Prussian War. I said, 'Do you mean the Kaiser's generals? Surely you can't mean Hitler's generals? And he said, 'Yeah, yeah, Hitler's generals.' I explained to him that [field marshal Erwin] Rommel had to commit suicide after taking part in a plot against Hitler."
Speaking to CNN on Tuesday John Bolton, formerly Trump's White House national security adviser, said he believed Kelly's account.

Bolton said: "You can take what John says to the bank.

"If John says that Donald Trump said them, I believe them implicitly."
