Not another one

Imagine 125 barrels of oil wide circling the earth. That's not how much oil we use. That's just what EVs avoided burning last year.

@DavidVance Would you let someone claim your house, screw your wife, shoot you in the face then send your children to another country? No you wouldn't. But you so f gutless you'd have a pop at other people defending themselves. You disgust me.

Zelenskyy aiming for WW3 and NATO is encouraging this…

Meanwhile in the UK thanks to the @transportgovuk who restrict us to Tesla's old autopilot system, mine jumped on the brakes at 50MPH for no reason whatsoever and scared the f life out me n my wife as I quickly jabbed the accelerator before someone ran into the back of me. Thanks @transportgovuk for endangering us today.

Today my Tesla on FSD V14.3.4 was driving when all of a sudden it swerved out of my lane. My instant thought was “what the hell, there no reason for the car to do that, it’s broken” Turns out after looking in the dash cam the vehicle beside swerved into my lane… I had absolutely no idea. Thank you so much @tesla_ai for making the roads safer. You guys are hero’s.

@jurgen_nauditt Steps to end all this: 1. Withdraw invasion force. End of list.

The Russian Ministry of Defense reports that approximately 1,000 Ukrainian drones have attacked Moscow. Let us first note that Ukraine is now capable of launching up to a thousand unmanned aerial systems (UAVs) in a single wave. And it is not merely a matter of possessing such a number of drones—Zelenskyy has already announced that Ukraine will produce 10 million of them this year. It is a question of command, logistics, and personnel resources. It is about the ability to organize an attack of this magnitude in the first place: setting up launchers, transporting components, conducting reconnaissance, planning, target assignment, launching, tracking, and post-strike assessment. That is a massive undertaking that must be managed. And Ukraine is capable of doing so. But what happens when that number rises to two thousand UAVs? Or five thousand? Just imagine that.

@David__Osland Who's 'earned' a trillion dollars? Can you advise who actually has 1 trillion dollars available in the bank?

You can't 'earn' a trillion dollars. You only get that rich by exploiting the labour power of others.

@mhdksafa there's a simple solution to stop all this happening. Withdraw R from U.

I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation linked to the strikes on oil depots in Russia, Ukraine, Iran, Gulf states, and beyond. This is a picture of Moscow now. Covered in thick black toxic clouds of smoke, raining oil on 14 million people with cancerous polluted air entering every lung. People breathing this. Animals breathing this. Trees breathing this. A humanitarian and environmental catastrophe. Bombing oil depots has serious environmental and humanitarian consequences. Hazardous "black rain" and "acidic rain" could pose serious health risks as toxic pollutants spread in the air, and contaminated the water—raise concerns of "wider regional pollution exposure", with the long-term effects of pollutants, affect respiratory health and contaminate water, that will affect people for years. Every bomb dropped on an oil depots is a time bomb for the people and the planet. This has moved beyond geopolitics. It's a crime against humanity.

@oldladybrain @grok can you critique this post claiming that [human induced] client change is a scam because of the location of her thermometer.

This is how the climate change scam works perfectly. My thermometer has been outside on the ground all day, it reads 22°, I’m wearing a T-shirt and a sweatshirt because it’s freezing. However, they can say it’s 22° in the UK, they can also say it’s going to be the hottest summer since records began. It makes not a jot of difference, because it still feels like 12/14° out there.

I've met someone who went from EV back to ICE, she was on company fuel so there was no financial incentive for her either way, she didn't all that much car how the car was powered, just a means to an end. All the other EV drivers I have spoken to wouldn't go back, some of them were in the 2 car camp having the ICE car for long trips, they are becoming two EV households. From my personal POV, going electric is like stopping smoking, you don't realise how bad or expensive it was until you stop doing it. I guess time will tell.

I don’t believe 90% at all from what I know and the people I speak to. Is this selective polling which can get any result you want? The choice will open up and not be just electric. Electric is far to restrictive in my view. It will be the next Betamax I am sure in say 10 years.

@CFSMotorRacing How do you reach the conclusion that electric will be short lived when 90% of EV drivers state they will never go back to ICE?

Petrol and Diesel is cleaner now than its ever been for well maintained cars. The days of electric will be short of that I am convinced with Toyota launching water powered cars and Hydrogen also making inroads. Investing in electric could "lose a few their shirt" I believe.

@CFSMotorRacing @grok can you list the potential health consequences of breathing vehicles exhaust fumes?

@CFSMotorRacing How about scrapping all fossil fuels subsidies first, then people can choose to fire diesel particulates at 3 year olds in the nursery car parks knowing that they are actually facing the full price of their choices.

scrap all quotas and all mandates and let market forces dictate what people want, electric or Petrol or Diesel

@Bobatron87 Yep, basically waste of police resources.

@NicDenso @ChaosLensX What's more it's all bollocks The bofe clarified these coins do not need to be accepted but can be. There's also no debt created at a petrol pump. You are agreeing to an immediate form of payment not a long term debt

What happens when a police officer gets the law completely wrong? In this video, a UK police sergeant is seen threatening to arrest a driver at a petrol station pump. The issue? The driver filled his car with £60 of diesel and attempted to pay using a genuine, Royal Mint-issued £100 silver commemorative coin. The supermarket staff refused to accept the coin and called the police, leading to the dramatic stand-off caught on camera. Is it legal? Here is the actual law: The answer is both yes and no, depending on who you look at: Could the shop refuse the coin? Generally, yes. While the coin is technically "legal tender" under the Coinage Act 1971, contract law allows a private business to decide which payment methods they prefer. However, because the fuel was already inside the car, a debt had been created. Legally, a business cannot "pick and choose" payment methods after the fact unless they clearly state their exclusions on the pump before you fill up. Was it a criminal offence? Absolutely NOT. The officer arrested the driver for "Making Off Without Payment" (Theft Act 1978). To commit this crime, a person must dishonestly run away to avoid paying the bill. The driver wasn't running, hiding, or acting dishonestly—he was standing right there actively trying to hand over cash worth more than the fuel! The Result: Because the police treated a civil contract dispute as a criminal theft, the arrest was entirely unlawful. The driver later took legal action against the police force, winning a formal apology and a £5,000 settlement.

@Electroversenet @grok could you list the approx number of EVs produced globally for the past ten years including a year on year percentage change?

The EV industry lost around $70 billion in 2024. Expectations didn't match reality. Prices are high, range is limited, charging is slow. With subsidies now fading, demand is further weakening into 2026. Manufacturers overbuilt, now they're cutting back. Ford Motor Company and General Motors are scaling down investment. Production targets are being revised. Costs are being cut. This is what happens when policy blindly runs ahead of demand. The market pushes back.

@SenWarren Given that he earns about $55k per year it would be a tad difficult for him to pay anything without harming his companies to comply with your desire for him to look after other people's children.

If Elon Musk paid my ultra-millionaire wealth tax, we could pay for child care for all three and four year olds in America.

@RandomNoobYT @LoveDetailing01 Short term pain for long term gain.

@LoveDetailing01 @NicDenso @Ed_Miliband I did the same in 2020 minus solar, fully paid itself off around 2024, my bills are still stupidly low, actually they are lower now that they were back in 2020 with my average unit rate now at 4p per kWh.

Households across Britain are embracing solar power in record numbers 📈☀️ And today some of the UK's biggest retailers have committed to stocking plug-in solar in the coming months, to help more families save on their energy bills. Story here👇 theguardian.com/money/2026/jun…

@SawyerMerritt @Tesla It's time for the UK's @transportgovuk to approve Tesla FSD so those of us who have this safer system can upgrade from the inferior/more dangerous autopilot system.

The Dutch vehicle ​authority (RDW) ‌has released a statement after it received criticism for approving @Tesla's FSD (Supervised). "The RDW carefully assessed and tested this driver assistance system before approval was granted. As part of this process, we analyzed and evaluated data from vehicles that had been driven in Europe. We also collected and assessed our own data and continue to monitor the performance of this system on the road. The RDW did not rely solely on Tesla’s data; we also carried out extensive testing ourselves using our own test equipment. Over a period of more than 3,000 hours, testing took place both on test tracks and on public roads, under a wide range of conditions, including complex and busy urban traffic, a broad variety of road types, and different - including extreme - weather conditions. This included the use of data from 1.8 million kilometres driven in Europe with FSD Supervised. The RDW’s own tests — comprising more than 1,000 test runs — were conducted in accordance with European regulations. The Tesla data used by the RDW also complied with those rules. The RDW independently assessed and validated the process used to collect the data. Through these tests, the RDW gathered objective information and verified the manufacturer’s data. The RDW does not base its assessment solely on information provided by the manufacturer. We carried out extensive independent investigation. On the basis of this overall process, the RDW concluded that the system meets the applicable requirements. As a result, a European type approval valid for use in the Netherlands was granted. Safety is the RDW’s foremost priority. This Tesla driver assistance system supports the driver to a greater extent than other systems because, when activated, it takes over multiple driving tasks. The proper use of driver assistance systems makes a positive contribution to road safety by supporting the driver in performing driving tasks; it is intended as an aid to the driver. Owing to the continuous and strict monitoring of the driver in the vehicle, this driver assistance system is at least as safe as other driver assistance systems. We have thoroughly assessed and tested this system over a period of more than 18 months." Full statement linked in thread below:

Wind now generates roughly as much electricity as nuclear globally, but its growth rate is vastly higher. Over the last decade, wind added around 870 GW of capacity versus roughly 40 GW for nuclear. Better economics, faster deployment and manufacturing scale are winning the day.

@NetZeroWatch @mattwridley @grok do the vast majority of the world experts in climate science believe this to be true? Ie "With CO2 greening the planet, any possible harms are outweighed by the benefits of more trees and crops,"

"With CO2 greening the planet, any possible harms are outweighed by the benefits of more trees and crops," says @mattwridley, "The effect of global greening thus trumps the effect of global warming. But to admit as much would threaten the careers of many thousands of activists, politicians, scientists and journalists." #CostOfNetZero

@grok At least they did one thing right

The trail cam footage from 10 June shows a man in dark clothes dumping large flat items (likely construction waste) from the boot of a silver hatchback (reg L520 VOB) on Sunwood Lane, Clayton, Bradford. No public identification, name, or police update on the individual has surfaced yet. Locals are using cameras to fight ongoing fly-tipping in the area.
