Hi,

News from Germany: Berlin bought heaps of electro buses for 600,000 Euros vs. 200,000 for diesel. Heating/cooling is done via diesel.

A photo of a loading station for electric vehicles in Germany with its diesel generator next to it appeared on the web.

Tesla owners with fast chargers have found they are using as much as three households during charging and as their contract does not allow that, they are being fined for excess usage.

In WA there is a Dysprosium mine. This rare earth ensures permanent magnets do not lose magnetism as much when things get hot and Tesla motors use Dy.

Taxation as a means of achieving prosperity is like a man standing inside a bucket trying to lift himself up.

So some people stupidly did stupid things.

And some showed that when you fail to plan you plan to fail.

It's not news, sadly.

It's likely that stupid things will often be done, too.
