Australia Has the Most species to start with. Many are delicate, depend on other life forms and can't adapt to change of circumstances Australia by and Large is light on for water and in many places extremely HOT. Domestic CATS are bad news for many Birds as well as other Migrated species, and diseases.. Nev

Crude oil has about 7%SULPHUR in it. It's also used to make Plastics, The sulphur when oxidised makes a strong acid with Moisture. Nev

Swappable Batteries seems intuitive but I don't think it is that simple, comparison with a drill etc is not valid as batteries get swapped all the time and being expensive are often less in number that the gadgets you have. Inbuild is lighter and the sophistication of the Monitoring can be much better, Batteries can Last a very Long time these days Swapping introduces a CARE factor too. Nev

Parting kiss? Nev

I've NEVER taken El Cheapo Holidays (or something) in Europe Jerry and the More Preparation and research the better the Experience will be for you. I try to mix with the Locals (and keep away from the tourists Hot spots) and boozy People. I don't expect thick Overcooked steaks either. I sample the Local Fare as it's done "their" way.. Europe is generally NOT CHEAP. Nor should we expect it to be. Letting them know you are not English helps too. An Australian Accent is very strong. We are pretty LAZY with our pronunciation generally.. Nev

Gorgeous GINA is Notorious for her opposition to anything reducing her income. She's "worth" 37billion but wants much more. Donates to the Liberal Party and the IPA (Fully tax deductible). Gives $62,000 the Banarnaby Joyce for Pocket money OR WHATEVER. Nev

EVERYONE in the system benefits from people putting more Solar, Wind and Battery storage into play no matter who does it. Its a great initiative, only opposed by those with Coal, Gas and Oil Interests. Nev

Leather is not used for the Best car seats. In the USA Leather is Plentiful because of the Hamburgers and steak consumption. Nev

Cathedrals, Too many People, Toll roads, Old Bricks and dog$#it. The best reason to travel is that it makes you appreciate what we have HERE.. We expect Schools to do Everything. We are All a bit soft and too reliant on others and don't want to Pay tax to support those expectations. Whinging is easy. Self reliance and a bit of REAL is needed. LAW and Economics. The LAW is an ASS and is so expensive as to be beyond the reach of ordinary Mortals and Economics a CON for Robbers and Grifters. The stock market is Manipulated and runs on GREED and FEAR. Accountants ruin GOOD companies by cutting cost and research and conditions for Workers. BANKs Predate on their Customers as is frequently exposed. Free Enterprise forms monopolies when it can some equity Companies with more Power than Governments. Anti trust Laws in the USA are only a memory. Crime Pays and it's the white collar crime that flourishes rarely Punished. Recessions and inflation takes Money from poor people For the RICH Tax is Optional. It's ALL stacked unless you are Part of the Corruption. Ethics is a hindrance to the Money Makers/TAKERS. Not a subject Brought up at Board Meetings where the CEO'S salaries are in the tens of Millions or Billions in the case of people like Bin Salman or Musk and Putin who does it covertly with bad things happening to his opponents Nev.

Not very practical. about 4 HP/Hr. The Solar racers in Australia are far more sophisticated than that. The extra DRAG there would probably use it all up. Nev

The high charge rate is optional on the expensive models with BYD. That technology costs more. There won't be universal adoption of it. That's the expectation. We should have the option as quickly as anyone unless the Trumpeter make some outrageous demand. MAGA is a PUNISHMENT for being more efficient than the Disunited Dog eat dog, State of America . America FIRST actually means and the rest of you can get $tuFFed as long as we prosper. KING Kee's running the asylum.. Putin is more important than NATO. How does HE get away with THAT? Anyhow Battery Electric is Powering nearly everything. Why would it not apply to cars? It works for Iron Ore trucks . MY 10 KW of storage will be active at the beginning of July. Everyone will get some benefit from that. Nev

Nothing compared to an ICE motor and Auto trans I'd warrant . Why do you need an inverter with a DC system? Electric motors are close to 100% efficient. Nev

I reckon you are right As usual. Nev

SISO how much heat does the Inverter handle? Nev

If there's a power failure at a fuel station you can't get any fuel I had to wait for over an hour at Barkly RH as the generator was being serviced the daily bill for diesel to run it was 1000s of $$$'s. Theres a mountain of disinformation about EV's from those with VESTED Interests. OF course THEY would wouldn't THEY? Fossil fuel has to be transported large distances as well. A hybrid is a very complex vehicle with the disadvantages of BOTH. The Maintenace on an Electric vehicle is miniscule by comparison. No exhaust system Cooling system Less brake wear No Clutch or gearbox No starter motor. Hot seats available. No fuel leak risks. etc etc. Nev

What's your take on it then? Nev

You're just brimming with information. People are installing Batteries too. They supply power Almost instantly. Quick response is one of the Most IMPORTANT requirements to Manage a system. Nev

We have Pretty good resources with Solar and Wind and Tidal. Not so good for storing water. Pumped Hydro is a proven way of storing energy even though the Snowy has met some problems with the type of rocks to bore holes through. Nev

Non Polluted fresh water is worth More than Oil. Nev

Iran Can't block electricity at the Gulf of Hormuz and you can get electricity very cheap at the right time. Electricity is not imported. Nev

Things like that were made of Depleted Uranium because of it's high density and hardness. As used in Iraq. It leaves radioactive residue. These ones required multiple Hits at Each location. Apparently the Planning took a while, AND the decision was before that. The whole operation did go off pretty well. Thats separate from the discussion on the wisdom of it TRUMP pulled out of the Inspection agreement THEY (USA) downed A Civilian A- 300 (BY mistake) and Trump has assassinated one of their top Guys in the Past when he was within Iran. Trump has solid Jewish Connections and desire to INVEST (very [profitably) there. Nev

He also operates without MANY FACTS (Bog ignorant) and cannot comprehend the security Briefings he gets by his Own admission, confirmed by those who do them His CLAIM to be a VERY STABLE GENIUS is a JOKE. Nev

Yes it looks like the Big ones have been dropped. I thought he was giving them time to make a Peace. Oh well keep, everyone guessing. What is his WORD worth? He doesn't care about that. Nev

I don't think it's the Bunker Busters. Nev

Iranians are NOT Arabs. They have to keep on saying that, and do. Nev
