Thanks 144, I hear you and I don't pretend the ICE would win the CO2 battle as it stands.
I just don't buy that electric is the answer.
There are however quite a few fossil fuel cars that produce less than 100g of CO2 per mile already.
It is an interesting debate and there is much extrapolation before the true cost to the environment are known.

With that in mind I would think it better to use technology to clean up the existing vehicles that use the ICE.
Make them last as long as is viable and replace them at the end of their cycle. Not try and churn through 40 million cars alone in the UK in the next decade or so which is no practical or very green.
I am much more of a fan of Hydrogen with the little I know on that technology so far.
But this is the next step in transport at the moment and I've jumped on board.

Thanks for the insults. Another key board warwith no reasoned argument.
A figure to ponder.
To produce an electric car it is according to VW 1.5times more CO2.
If you live in say Oxford the electricity used to charge the EV for 1mile produces 120grammes CO2. So not a free lunch

Electric cars are fast yes, but after that they are devoid of character. If EVs float your boat then yt are not a petrol head and wouldn't understand.
The next part of the evolution is the automated car and our involvement is over. I know I cannot stop the process, but it doesn't mean I'm a fan.

Couldn't sell one of my other shares this morning and had to watch as I was loosing thousands. Didn't sell in the end. Will just have to wait until it recovers. Shouldn't be like that.

7.6p reached at 11am.
You are right yes, sorry distracted slot today and dipping in and out without digging deeper.
Happy to be corrected especially in the positive;-)

All the metals on a rise today.
bitcoin down and the dollar down.
I am hoping gold can catch the wind this afternoon and move towards $1900 and beyond.
It's positive anywho, but a little higher would help.
Have a great weekend all.

About to attack the 52 week high of 7.6p
Go on my son;-)

I think you underestimate how game changing the super cap is to the EV market.
Also it would have to be part of a corporate update presentation which although may not have been delivered directly to Musk, it will have got there eventually.
The damage to reputation can be worth slot more than the direct cost of the court case.

The longer it takes imo the higher Nickel will be as the squeeze will continue apace. So good for long term

Here's the drop coming.

Brilliant news, need someone with a bit more life in them to present it though.

Still moving ?? n an upward trajectory.
That will do for me to start the day.

Good to see gold climbing back up through the $1800s. Hopefully a good holiday season and lots of jewelry being bought.

What jailed.,;-)
Hailed

Sorry chaps, threw the grenade then took the wife out for a birthday drive and lunch out.
I understand the debate and you all make valid points. I just read to many shortfalls at the moment for me too be remotely interested. I'm sure it will happen but I was born in 61 and my years of motoring have witnessed many a person walking forlornly with an entry gerry can to the nearest petrol station. I envisage many a stranded motorist with no battery power left.
Nothing is insurmountable but many will suffer the pain of long queues hiked electrical taxation once the ICE vehicles have gone and increased pay per mile motoring.
I am looking through a true petrol heads eyes and feel I have had the best years of motoring.
I also agree, ownership will be replaced by automated vehicles to be jailed when required.
However, good look to us all.

Although I am heavily invested here, I think the infrastructure is sadly lacking.
How many cars are refueled at a garage forcourt in Essex on a daily basis. When you find that answer if you bother. Then ask how many EVs can be recharged from these charging stations in a day.

Dollar continuing to fall, so there's one indicator that points to higher POG.
So far it's a good morning.

Thanks for the post BtB,
Very interesting.
Gold hit $1770 overnight before clawing back into the $1780s region and hopefully will gain some more today.
I did see $1770 was a support level, although all that stuff to me is another language.
Holiday season upon us and after the recent pull back let's hope gold shines once again. The over riding economic situation around the globe have not changed and so there is no reason why gold will not continue to rise, unless artificially controlled as we have seen all to well.
Funny how the stock markets including ours seem to show countries doing so well and yet we get news of closures left right and centre.
Arcadia today maybe?
Slot of smoke and mirrors me thinks that will eventually shatter.

On fire this morning. Could we see $16500?
