03.01.2020 Tesla Rooles The Road, Okay?

~

Friday 3rd Jan 2020 43F, windy, heavy overcast and raining. Expected to continue all day. 

Denmark is now producing 50% of its power from wind and solar. Superconducting materials have been used in the generator of one large wind turbine on test here at Thyboron. This should lead to greater efficiency and lighter weight over time as turbines grow ever larger. 

An efficient means of energy storage would absolutely revolutionise "green energy" due to its present variability. Perhaps electrolysis will aid the development of the anticipated hydrogen economy?

The best way forwards, for the world, would be for oil and petrol prices to escalate beyond the reach of many ordinary abusers. This would spur demand for the rapid uptake of much cheaper EVs. 

The traditional car makers are absolutely terrified of the simplicity of electric vehicles. They have none of the built-in obsolescence the car dealers can exploit to make their profits from customer tied labour and obscenely priced spares. 

So a whole new means of financing and organising EV sales, globally, must be developed. Tesla is already selling direct to the customer. Which places them in an even stronger position over the leaden-footed, traditional [dirty] car manufacturing opposition. Most of whom are probably at least five years behind Tesla on almost every important aspect. 

This is much the same scenario as we saw when Japan entered the car and motorcycle market in the early 1960s. The major British [highly conservative] manufacturers had no answer despite their decades of dominance. Where are the "great names" now? No major motorcycle manufacturers, at all. While the "British and European labelling" car industry is owned by Germany.

2.1.20 Coyote "AWOL" Morrison gets roasting.

~

Thursday 2nd Jan. 2020. 36F, dark grey overcast, cold, misty and breezy. The garden trees are rocking. Definitely a "hoody" day. (It rained here in the afternoon.)

I wore my yellow safety glasses to stop my eyes being blinded by tears on my walk. I wear the same glasses on my trike in cloudy weather. It makes me snigger every time I see a "serious" cyclist wearing ridiculously expensive, dark glass in overcast weather. The same lemming instinct as you see in every T-De-F during bad weather. Professionals? Yeah, right!

Don't even get me started on the wearing of newspapers for mountain descents. Or team, designer clothing flapping furiously because the exhausted riders had no time to do up the tiny [designer labelled] poppers, at the summit, before plunging back downhill.What part of back to front chest protection don't these losers understand?

New Zealand is enjoying yellow skies and the smell of 500 million, burnt Koalas from the Australian fires over 1200[?] miles away. The media seems unsure as to the actual distance as the smoke flies. Even the NZ snow is turning gold and brown now. Perhaps they will sue Australia for loss of tourism earnings? Australian tourism is already taking a massive hit.

Meanwhile Coyote "AWOL" Morrison is sending the sole Australian, navy [koala coal-fired] ship to evacuate people from the coast. It will need to make multiple trips apparently. Because most of the Koala coal supplies have already been burnt on a New Year's national, funeral pyre in Sydney.

Morrison has been getting a roasting from fire victims. He turned up at destroyed townships to refuel to find all the takeaways had been burnt down. Elsewhere evacuees couldn't fill their cars to join the gridlocks on the roads to safety because of a lack of fuel. With hour long waits to discover no petrol at the pumps you can well imagine tempers flaring in 48C heat. This is known in Ozzy parlance as "A Cluster Fuck[up]!" Or just, another "Morrison."

I have wondered for many years why the armed forces aren't routinely brought into action for real life, work experience in every national emergency. Perhaps their boots would miss the vital spit and polish if they were allowed to escape into the wild?

The British army is spending ex-taxpayer's money advertising that people with low self-esteem should sign up. Is there suddenly a national shortage of victims for closely targetted, forces bullying? The news headlines would suggest otherwise. If this is another case of damage control then somebody should pull the plug before the top brass embarrass themselves [again!]

1st January 2020 Happy New Decade?

~

Wednesday 1st January 2020, 41F. Rather overcast but with some blue between the grey clouds. Quite a chill wind on the way to the lanes in very light traffic. The McLardy's litter moron is still distributing its wealth in excess packaging along the verges. 

More deaths and destruction in Australia's wildfires. Everybody is talking about climate change. Even those who were trashed in the recent elections. They remain in comfortable denial. Even with a few derogatory nicknames for those who are concerned. They continue to question the empty policies of those who won the last public lottery with the all too familiar, empty promises. 

So, nothing has really changed with the arrival of a new decade. Greed still wins. Lies still win. Denial is still the currency of the real power mongers. The politicooze can only fiddle the books. To make it look as if they have some control over the corruption of the few who really rule our only planet. 

India and China have such awful pollution that it seems impossible to make any useful changes. Traffic jams abound on every continent as the lemmings continue to commute to utterly pointless jobs. Drug wars cripple many nations and undermine the rule of law in most. The prisons are packed like pallets of sardine cans. Justice, power and privacy continue to be the privilege of great wealth. The rest are eating themselves into early graves. When they can afford to eat at all. Parasitic companies and celebs make vast fortunes at the expense of us all. 

Supersaturation of our everyday lives with the blatant lies of advertising would have us ignore reality. Sport and entertainment make trillions for the money launderers and offshore, tax-free crooks and despots. The burden of defense craps all over the need for more hospitals for sickly populations all bent on slow suicide. 

We are deliberately fed with titivating, red herrings about minor loss of life amongst the celebs. When all around us are losing theirs in millions to preventable disease and even starvation. As long as they are distant enough and dark skinned enough. To be invisible to all but the drunken holidaymakers. All bent on achieving a nice tone of skin cancer. 

Anything to impress their equally vacuous colleagues back at home in our modern dystopia. Of overpowered private cars, with flashy wheels and silly badges stuck in the daily and deadly traffic jams. All to differentiate between the brain washed and the quite literally brain dead. They will gain one place on the grid-locked roads at the risk of their own and their family's lives.

The ephemeral is given the false label of "name" quality. Totally regardless of which Chinese factory rubber stamped their child-slave and political prisoner produced, puerile crap for stage-managed consumption. Even if the online dealer isn't a crook you may never see your parcel.  In an online review website 93% rate the Scandinavian postal service as appalling. We are still waiting for three parcels sent well before Christmas.
