Well! You should all know that engine evolution reached its peak in 1980-odd with the 3.9 Isuzu and all subsequent engines are worse, much worse. So engineers had better stop fussing around with electrons and stuff and just concentrate on finding more fossil fuel to turn into Isuzu smoke.;););)
why? the suzi runs fine on vege oil, cooking oil, canola oil, peanut oil, hell it'd probably run on whale oil...
heres a thought....
if we can run an engine on vege oil, and vege oil comes from vegetables.. can we start abusing the vegetarians and vegans for eating the next tank of fuel...
alternatively...
if vege oil comes from vegetables, can we cripple all the vegetarians which will make them vegetables ripe for the crushing into the next tank of fuel...
I'm not seeing any downsides from this end.
Oh, my world with less tofu. Yes please!Quote:

Do you have any idea what goes into a hybrid or EV? Do a Google on RARE EARTH MINERALS. Google the uses for platinum and other metals.Quote:

Catch a wake-up, mate.:mad:
I can see NO error in Black Knight's logic!
Would that be BHP Biliton? The Biliton is South African and is a merger with the Australian BHP which makes it a transnational with a joint listing on the London SE and the Australian SE.Quote:

Attached is a GE image of the strip mining near my farm.
Note that the image is almost 6 months old, they've caused more damage since then.
This is less than 60kms from the Pretoria CBD.
No. Xstrata. And BHP started as an Australian venture, just like Anglo started as a South African venture. Makes no difference what they call themselves now.Quote:
