Ban On Foreign Oil

[jazz]

JHC just about fell out of my chair this morning.

Greens propose banning all oil imports on favor of Ab oil, until we don't need oil anymore. Fortunately that will be a long time yet. We had a project on the books that was going to do that until skippy got elected.

Finally a policy position from the Greens.
But not mentioned in that article, which I heard elsewhere, is a ban on petroleum fuel vehicles by 2025 (I think that was the date). I don’t really care where we go with passenger vehicles (infrastructure will have to exist though), it is the industrial engines that will continue to need diesel for a long time yet. Diesel is very energy efficient.
Watch the CPC get pulled way to the left, without a strong right wing party to balance it out, all parties are shifting leftwards with no end in sight.

how the hell is lisa gonna spin this on the state broadcasting hour???

Apparently a couple studies out of Germany said the lowest carbon footprint comes from using a diesel powered vehicle vs electric all things considered.

I could live with that

Did you read the article? No combustion engine passenger vehicles by 2030. No combustion engine vehicles period by 2040. Zero C02 emissions by 2050. So electric tractors, sprayers, combines by 2040! The end of fertilizer by 2040? So where will most farmers be if there fossil fuel powered machinery becomes a worthless boat anchor?

Get May to support banning foreign oil and an energy corridor. let her continue to rumble about phasing out FF in 20 yrs because its not going to happen and when it doesnt, our energy industry will be very stong an not able to be stonewalled again. Her ignorance is our strength.

The writing is on the wall and they see it now. The electorate is going to revolt next election so they are moderating a bit. Just a ploy to help out Horgie and JT. Their colours won’t change.

........... So where will most farmers be if there fossil fuel powered machinery becomes a worthless boat anchor?

Usually when equipment leaves this place it’s off to become boat anchors or new pipe. Not a big loss for me. I wonder how big of battery pack it’ll take to run a big fwa on the mix wagon at -40* ???
