China’s electric bus rollout shows decarbonisation isn’t theoretical: ~700k+ e-buses ~780k global ~90% in China (IEA/WRI) ~80% “new energy” fleet ~100% new city bus sales electric Not a transition. A system flip. Globally? Rest of world = ~10%. Everyone else is piloting. China industrialised. Why buses first? High utilisation. Fixed routes. Depot charging. Yes—this took coordinated policy + capital. But the model is exportable: electrify high-use fleets first. Now the kicker: This is paired with massive LFP batteries + solar-powered depots. Every bus becomes: • demand for renewables • storage • a grid node Scale that: Less diesel Less imports Less exposure to oil shocks Less reliance on chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz This is structural oil demand destruction. Oil = extract → ship → burn → repeat Electric = install → generate → store → use China is replacing fuel logistics with electrons. Not offsets. Not targets. Deployment. Decarbonisation as a side effect. Energy independence as the architecture. ⚡🔋 #Bettrification

@SenCash 😳 Poor Johnny the tradie who took Your advice. $$$$$!!!

This little app by @simonahac compares the cost per km of the top 10 selling ICE vehicles with the top 10 selling EVs, using current petrol prices and the average charging rate over the past 24 hours. It's both fascinating and compelling. petrol-vs-electric.vercel.app/models

The killing of three journalists and nine paramedics in Lebanon has led to accusations of Israel committing a war crime. The Israel Defence Forces insist one of the journalists was part of a Hezbollah unit, but did not provide evidence. @AlexCrawfordSky reports from Lebanon. 🔗 trib.al/6d9xSKs

Israel murdered 50 medical workers in Lebanon in 3 weeks. Special place in hell for the thousands upon thousands of genocidal Israeli monsters.

Israel murdered every single person in this photo today in South Lebanon. Every. Single. One. 2 journalists 7 paramedics 1 Lebanese soldier They bombed the journalists’ vehicle — then bombed them again when paramedics rushed to help.

@SkyNewsAust Michaela Cash says! 🤪🖕 Given her views on saving tradies’ Utes! They’d be Really Saving with an EV or Hybrid now.

Motorists topping up with extra fuel are not the problem, the government is, the shadow attorney-general has claimed, as she warned of a crisis of confidence amongst Australian consumers. skynews.com.au/australia-news…

Trump on the Iran war: “We have a thing called a war, or as they would rather say, a military operation. It's for legal reasons. Because as a military operation,I don't need any approvals. As a war you're supposed to get approval from Congress…So I call it a military operation”

RFK JR: One time, Trump grabbed a placemat, turned it over, took a Sharpie, and drew a perfect map of the Middle East. Then he marked the troop strength of every country along each border on that map..

@Acyn 😳😗🤔🙄😂😂🖕🖕

@rshereme @JaneCaro Beware False Prophets.

Franklin Graham says Donald Trump has been raised up by God and urges loyalty in the midterms. It sickens me when “Christians” claim that Trump has been raised up by God, because Trump is the antithesis of Jesus’ teachings. Instead of love, he portrays hatred; instead of forgiveness, vengeance; instead of meekness, narcissistic egoism. And the list goes on. But I am no longer surprised by Franklin Graham. This is the same man who has appeared on multiple russian propaganda channels, praised Vladimir Putin repeatedly, and urged people to pray for Putin’s “wisdom.” Not once has he called for Putin’s repentance. It is because of people like Franklin Graham that many atheists want nothing to do with the church. “The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, walk out the door, and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.” – Brennan Manning

@senbmckenzie You support Zionists. Here’s what they do. Repeatedly!

Israel executed every single paramedic in this photo today in South Lebanon — dropping a bomb on their ambulance. Read that again. This is deliberate. Killing medics is a war crime. Killing medics is a crime against humanity. This is medicide.

A complaint against the Israeli thug has been filed with the New South Wales Police.

Aussies pay $8B in alcohol excise every year (beer $2.7B alone) — direct tax on every drink. Meanwhile, gas giant Santos paid just US$17m (A$26m) Australian corporate income tax in 2024 on hundreds of millions profit — near 0% effective rate after deductions. (They paid more in royalties/PRRT, but still low corporate tax for years.) One company digs up & sells our resources… yet drinkers often pay more tax per slab than these giants pay in company tax.

@AngusTaylorMP @mattjcan @senbmckenzie @Barnaby_Joyce @D_LittleproudMP FACTS!

ICYMI The economic policy horror of cutting the petrol excise: 1. It damages the budget 2. It stimulates spending 3. It makes the petrol shortage - to the extent there is one - more acute Dumb policy ideas need to be called out #Insiders youtube.com/watch?v=51sLQz…
