  1. The article I linked to were not from Breitbart..🙂 India is currently dramatically expanding its coal related projects. Coal sea ports are being expanded. All rail lines that service coal supplies are to be doubled. New large engines to haul larger trains are being built. Perhaps a read from an Indian source... “...Indian Railways inducted 100th Electric Locomotive of 12000 HP WAG 12 B in its fleet... ...These locomotive are proving to be a game changer for further movement of coal trains for Dedicated Freight Corridor...” https://www.metrorailnews.in/indian-railways-inducts-100th-electric-locomotive-of-12000-hp-wag-12-b/ .
  2. “...China & India who are still building coal fired power stations. These are interim solutions to deal with their current problems...” Kgwilson, I’m not sure where your getting yer info from though it ain’t born out by reality. Perhaps you seen it on the ABC... 😏 “...Last week, Bloomberg’s Indian enterprise Bloomberg Quint reported that, “India Considers 2050 Net-Zero Target, a Decade Before China.” It claimed, “Officials close to Prime Minister Narendra Modi” are drawing up a plan to achieve the Net-Zero target. When contacted about the source of this information, Bloomberg did not respond. As of March 25, this information from Bloomberg remains as a false news, as no official sources have confirmed that New Delhi is devising a Net-Zero target for 2050...” Seems we need to look at the actions of the Indian government... “...India, unfaced with these noises, is currently going ahead with its second tranche of commercial coal mine auctions, where 67 mines across the country were offered for auctions... ...As a strategy to expedite the auctions, the government has even made a call for private bidders to make a request of their preferred mines. “With rolling auctions, we will upload a comprehensive list of mines along with key technical data and bidders can submit their preferences for the mines to be included in the next tranche of auction. This would be a continuous process and would result in expediting the auctions...”, said Pralhad Joshi India’s Minister for Coal and Mines...” https://www.thegwpf.com/vijay-jayaraj-india-speeds-up-fossil-fuelled-economy-despite-net-zero-noises/ .
  3. Hmmm... False. British Airways is not in “crisis talks” with the British government about vaccinated pilots. Four pilots have recently died – and British Airways says none of these is linked to vaccines. This article was produced by the Reuters Fact Check team. https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-coronavirus-aviation-idUSL2N2NZ1ZO 🤔
  4. Apparently there were a few failures in the ‘system’. From manufacturer to maintenance through to pilot. After the fan stopped, the pilot could have done a reset to get back power. The manufacture indicated though that a reset could have led to other problems - I’m guessing a possible battery fire from overheating. Whilst a temporary reset may have been enough to get the aircraft clear of the lake to a suitable forced landing area the aircraft might turn into a fireworks display on the way..... I note the maintenance issues appeared after an ‘engine’ swap ? Also... “...They previously had another unexplained shutdown, fortunately on the runway...” https://www.euroga.org/forums/flying/12749-pipistrel-alpha-electro-crash-norway-18-8-19 .
  5. Norway: “...2.2.2.2 Viewed from an aviation perspective, the power controller appears to be vulnerable considering its relatively low operating temperature limitation of 65°C, combined with the unit's tendency to suddenly cut off the power supply if entering failure mode. It seems as if protecting the electronics in the power controller takes priority over safe operation of the propulsion system. This does not appear to be in line with common aviation design philosophy. On the other hand, as Pipistrel has pointed out to NSIA, overheat without power reduction could also result in an unsafe situation. 2.2.2.3 Admittedly, it may be that design criteria for reliability and redundancy are less stringent for aircraft like this. However, NSIA believes that there is nevertheless reason to question whether the reliability of the propulsion system in Pipistrel Alpha Electro is acceptable...” “...2.3.2 Considering that it is a closed circuit cooling system, that no evidence of leakage was found, together with the explanations of the personnel replacing the motor, NSIA finds reason to conclude that an insufficient quantity of coolant was replenished in connection with the motor replacement, and that, consequently, there was a significant amount of air trapped in the system...” https://havarikommisjonen.no/Luftfart/Avgitte-rapporter/2021-03-eng?pid=SHT-Report-ReportFile&attach=1 Stadskanaal: ”...It was found that there were technical problems with the batteries prior to the flight...” ”...the batteries nevertheless played no role in the cause of the accident...” https://www.onderzoeksraad.nl/en/page/12366/fatal-loss-of-control-pipistrel-alpha-electro-near-stadskanaal .
  6. For the grid I’m for cheap reliable energy like coal. Nuclear is still a bit expensive. On me little farm I run solar/generator. I’ve got an old Sunbeam 32volt wind turbine and tower in bits in the shed. There’s some old 32volt power tools to go with it. The farm I removed it from had a heap of one volt battery’s hooked up. Back in the 90’s I did a wind power course at TAFE and sorta lost interest after that. .
  7. What brand is it ? And how many have crashed due battery or overheating issues ? .
  8. Hmmm... what yer going to do when the GPS system gets turned off ?..🤔 .
  9. Yep, great things them electric aircraft/vehicles/bikes. I were once very keen on em, even got one of them 2 wheel stand up scooter thingys. 11’ Wheels, 2 motors and will do ninety so I’m told... But, electric motor transport do have its problems. I think it prudent to wait a while before getting too ‘invested’ in the game. Let the crash test dummies work out the faults first. One thing I note when yer see vids on Tesla’s they always say just how simple the electric motors are compared to the ‘complex’ piston motors... except, them Tesla’s is not simple. One needs to consider the entire system requirements to get that Tesla to move. There is a lot of cooling plumbing, pump, and electrical connections involved in getting that Tesla to move and any one failure point of the thousands of connections can bring the plot undone. Theres a lot of crap in the “Why Electric Planes are Inevitably Coming” video. And one claim is of simple servicing. I can just see the local aircraft engineer trying to annual or trouble shoot the battery pack with all its battery’s, soldered connections, wires, and cooling pipes... yeah, right..😏 At any rate the charging power for the aircraft will likely be coal. So a better name for the aircraft would be a coal powered aircraft..🙂 .
  10. Heh, Yep!...The first five minutes is politics..😏 .
  11. I’m still dwelling on the Qanon video so will not comment yet. As to using Albright as any sort of ‘character reference’... “...Juila Gillard, as PM, had already tipped in $22m to GPE in 2010-11 and followed up in late 2011 with a gargantuan $270m four year pledge. This pledge dwarfed those from a host of comparable Western donors, combined. GPE’s grateful CEO Alice Albright, daughter of President Bill Clinton’s Secretary of State Madeleine Albright (1997-01), successfully lobbied for Gillard as honorary chair of GPE in late 2013...” https://quadrant.org.au/opinion/qed/2016/07/gillard/ .
  12. What a coincidence. In furthering my study of bush fire effects I recently got a book Fire And The Air War. Bond, Bugbee (1946) “A compilation of expert observations on fires of the war set by incendiaries and the atomic bomb...” A new reprint book from Amazon though I’d imagine it would be on the net somewhere. In the chapter covering the official report of the U.S. Strategic Bombing Survey, page 223, we find: “...The bombs (atomic) did not convince the military that defence of the home islands was impossible, if their behaviour in government councils is adequate testimony. It did permit the Government to say, however, that no army without the weapon could possibly resist an enemy who had it, thus “saving face” for the army leaders and not reflecting on the competence of Japanese industrialists or the valor of the Japanese soldier. In the Supreme War Guidance Council voting remained divided, with the War Minister and two Chiefs of Staff unwilling to accept unconditional surrender. There seems little doubt, however, that the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki weakened their inclination to oppose the peace group. The peace effort culminated in an Imperial conference held on the night of 9 August and continued into the early hours of 10 August, for which the stage was set by the atomic bomb and the Russian war declaration. At this meeting the Emperor, again breaking his customary silence, stated specifically that he wanted acceptance of the Potsdam terms. A quip was current in high government circles at this time that the atomic bomb was the real Kamikaze, since it saved Japan from further useless slaughter and destruction. It is apparent that in the atomic bomb the Japanese found the opportunity which they had been seeking, to break the existing deadlock within the government over acceptance of the Potsdam terms...” As Old Koreelah has pointed out, I suspect what would happen to the Japanese ‘industrialists’ and the Emperor if the Russians invaded probably ‘concentrated’ many minds. .
  13. I’ve found the 4 corners report on youtube. Will have a look-see tonight. The brief consideration I’ve given to Qanon in the past I just thought of it as a ‘false flag’ thingy and never given it any credibility. We’ll see if the 4 corners programme can offer any insight. As to my “wingmen”, I were unaware I had any wingmen ? .
  14. I take it then that you wont be answering the question I put to you earlier ? “...What “democratic societies” and “institutions” did Trump affect ?...” Looks like yet another ‘claim’ can be listed as debunked. Moving on... .
  15. How goes the back-up for these claims ? The “fire extinguisher” death has already been debunked. Who, what, where were the other claimed deaths ? .
  16. “Smarter to play the ball”.... So, yer saying it is stupidity to “play the man”... ?..🤔 As to the ‘reporting’ - it no work on me computer. .
  17. ??? What “democratic societies” and “institutions” did Trump affect ? 🤔 .
  18. “Storming”.......? Some drunk guy wearing a set of buffalo horns breaks in and steals Pelosi’s lectern and it is called Storming..😂 If thats a ‘storming’ then what would your descriptor be for the D-Day landings? ....at any rate, the days events are very concerning to me. For one, how is it that the autopsy results of the actual cause of the police officers death were not released immediately to dispel the fire extinguisher attack claims ? Many would like to know... (Washington, DC) Judicial Watch announced today that it has filed a District of Columbia Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit in the District of Columbia Superior Court against the District of Columbia for the autopsy of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick and related records. (Judicial Watch v. District of Columbia (No. 2021 CA 000875 B)). The lawsuit was filed after the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) of the District of Columbia denied Judicial Watch’s February 16, 2021 FOIA request for: All records, including but not limited to autopsy reports, toxicology reports, notes, photographs, and OCME officials’ electronic communications, related to the death on Jan. 6, 2021 of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick and its related investigation. Initial reports from the New York Times and other media outlets about the cause of Office Sicknick’s death have subsequently been corrected and revised. “The unusual and unlawful secrecy about Officer Sicknick’s death investigation undermines public confidence in the fair administration of justice,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. Judicial Watch also recently filed lawsuits for US Capitol Police emails and video related to the riotand for Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s communications with the Pentagon in the days after the January 6thincident. https://www.judicialwatch.org/press-releases/brian-sicknick/ .
  19. Hmmm... As for the claimed fire extinguisher death... U.S. Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick suffered two strokes and died of natural causes the day after he confronted rioters during the Jan. 6 insurrection, according to Washington's top medical examiner. The chief medical examiner, Francisco Diaz, said Monday that an autopsy of Sicknick found no evidence the 42-year-old suffered an allergic reaction to chemical irritants. Diaz ruled the Sicknick, 42, died from "acute brainstem and cerebellar infarcts due to acute basilar artery thrombosis." https://www.foxnews.com/us/capitol-police-officer-brian-sicknick-cause-of-death-natural-causes-capitol-riot-examiner .
  20. I suppose Trump coulda hanged chad for it, or blamed the Russians. Instead he blamed the ‘other’ party and the media for his electoral loss..🤔 John Anderson has an interesting interview with Matt Taibbi re the problems with the ‘Go Woke, Go Broke’ US media. Via youtube: “Matt Taibbi | Stark critique of US media” .
  21. “Insurrection”...??? Not much of an insurrection. None of the people arrested had a gun. One unfortunate unarmed girl got shot dead by police... In a country where civilians own over 300,000,000 guns you’d think any self respecting insurrectionist would turn up with an M16 at the least... not wearing a set of buffalo horns....😂 .
