Whilst I won't get into an argument with you Quady as it's time consuming and non productive, I will say that Slug's overall take isn't far off what's happening.
There are increasing numbers of respected professionals and pundits who are of the opinion that we are on the cusp of long bull markets in commodities and on the back of that a shift in power from the West to the East, woke conspiracy or not.
They have more of the commodities required to be the planet's top dogs, and they are afraid of upsetting people.
This is an interesting watch for starters. Willem Middlekoop

EV has a long way to go and I don't think we will ever see long haul air travel using battery power, the physics disallow it.
I don't possess an EV but increasingly, friends who have and have enthused about them have started to come clean about the downsides of long distance travel and the time constraints when trying to combine charging and business.
My take on future travel is the need for a lot more mass transit systems, trains in a word. You don't have to take your electricity with you on a train. The burgeoning home delivery world works on a hub system, something we had many years ago in the heyday of Steam. If you look back at vehicles in the 20's 30's 40's and 50's there was a market for small engined and EV vehicles to transport short distances from the hubs. I think we should revisit that system, I'm not a 15 minute city advocate but it makes sense for commerce.
I was watching a politics programme yesterday and a speaker was explaining in the Scottish Parliament that Net Zero will never be actually zero.
Anyway, what do I know, my wife has just informed me it's Saturday and I thought it was Sunday !.
