....civil servant types with a high percentage "Diversity-centric" You meet them in the Casino "Sorry Sir; I said no more bets", on the road "Show me your licence, driver", in the upmarket restaurants "XXXX off!!!", on the water "YOU XXXX!!!"; Turbo always felt exhausted after a business trip to Perth even at the departure lounge; "Your flight's at gate 720, half a kilometer THAT way and it's leaving in four minutes!" It's always a pleasure t come back inot Tullamarine to be pampered, helped with your luggage and ......

When the road across the Nullabor was dirt, there were news reports of families blockaging the road and bring cars to a stop under threat of spears, collecting their own "entry" tax. Years later a couplle of old tuck salesmen told the story of how they were delivering two new Atkinson Prime Movers to Perth bobtail. They were travelling flat out, line astern with the second one just ahead of the slipstream of dust when up ahead Morton steps out into the middle for the road with his spears ready for a big collect. The trucks didn't slow down and didn't move and the second driver said he heard the rattle of a spear on the fuel tank.

Nothing to do with an aviation forum; it was a direct response to the quote above it.

LPG was not able to continue in the vehicle industry because nobody could find a way of making it meet the increasingly lower Australian Design Rules on emissions. The ADR system does allow existing vehicles to operate for the rest of their lives as long as someone keeps producing LPG.

No, it's because we don't leach off Governments but spend our own money, get our own patents, research our own markets, research the supply infrastructure (I was hired to research Australia's Urea (AdBlue) network and then make big money getting a market advantage.) The company that makes the finished product I showed a few days ago spends billions of dollars per year on research so will not miss the $75 million the Australian government was providing for ALL manufacturers and potential manufacturers. The people on this site squeal when there is an accident aircraft labelled "Cessna" but when they are discussing our Industry they don't take the same care to identify the sectors of the industry.

.....n unofficial dumping point for Cummins and Detroit oil changes. Marky was suffering many bruises as the big filters clanked together in the smelly wash. They stood well back from the smell and tried to come up with a solution. Keen NESSERS may have noted that Turbo now has a part in Outback Truckers. He had to learn extra swear words and make sure something failed on every trip but it's big money when filming with coconut oil on your face to look like sweat.

.....seated and he was now hololering for help, his ample voice amplified even more by the deep shaft. Dusty O,Track quickly unconscionised the two occupants of the Patrol, but realising he was going to need three of them to pull Marky up the now stinking shaft, he told Marky to wait and then dragged the Patrol occupants back under the Patrol so he coud pretend to rescue them when they came to..........

How does this grid-level storage work?
-
The tailpipe emission of a hydrogen ICE is zero, just like the EV. So the comparison is going to need CO2 calcs from the original source to the engine supply point, in the same way that EV might have a Zero tailpipe output, but if it's charged from the grid, there's a CO2 penalty at the power station stack, and then there are different CO2 outputs to make the components and asseble them.

....improvement on what that Indian Rider "Dusty" OTrack had suggested; "INYERFACE!!" over a WA Cop badge. DOT had waved and wrinkled his shoulders as a Highway Patrol was about to pass and they took the bait and lit up. OT had always imagined himself as a Western Bert Munro, and gave the Indian a whiff of WOT. The rear suspension squatted and the Indiuan came out of the blocks like a Kangaroo Dog catching DOT by surprise. He slid back onto the pillion only to see the nose of the new Nissan Patrols with the 400 hp V8 petrol motors right beside him and about to PIT him with the bull bar, but his trusty Indiuan was up to it and......

......evacuation, they cooled substantially to the Harleys, and that's when they cruised up to a country pub and out the front was bull, newly patched and itching for action on his P8C Harley. bull started the Harley which backfired a couple of times, got the front wheel up and pulled a doughnut on the rear. Mahommet gave his WOT and painted a black line through the circle. Cappy on his pink Suzuki jammed the front brake on by mistake and somersaulted onto his back on the line and circle, and it was on.........

I'm not sure what this Green Hydrogen is; smoke and mirrors? An engine running on CNG (Methane) requires very little change to run on hydrogen. In fact Cummins offer both in the one model engine, the 500 horsepower X15N so the modifications from one to the other will be either external accessories or slight. There's no national refuelling network, so it only suits Back to Base applications within the tank range.

Brendan is trying to bring you up to date with reality; picking on a specific detail is not helpful since the situation also involves slashing more than one person to death, kids who were just going about their business, killing people on the streets and killing each other, hundreds, if not thousands of home invasions over the past 20 years where occupants in their beds are forced to give up the electronic keys to their cars and any valuables, several hundred high speed police chases where police have been injured and innocent motorists have been killed, well known "child" offenders out on bails more than 50 times and so one. We will not be letting our police go into these work situations where they are required to protect us without maximum self protection. After any shooting they are subjected to the same laws as us and have to justify their actions. I live in one of the epi-centres where every one of our local bottle shop attendants have been beaten up or slashed, every one of out fuel outlets the same, for or five Audis/Benzes etc torched to the ground. These children have been offending on bail and the Victorian Government may even fall if they can't get their frantically urgent bail laws to solve the problem.

Well I'm only guessing here, but we may be looking at the beginning of a PL action in motion.
