Why do we need to offset other countries coal use? They’re the ones buying it and burning it, not us.

In particular Indonesia:

Yet Indonesia added 1.9 GW of coal capacity in 2024, the third most in the world, behind China and India. Some 80% of this new capacity came from so-called captive coal plants, built specifically to serve industrial estates processing nickel, cobalt and aluminum for the booming electric vehicle market.

How ironic.

Thanks for making Queensland look good I guess? Even our worst state is still doing better than them.

youtube may be the last american tech that i unhook from, there is simply no where else that has so much video content in one place

i don’t understand how france for example stopped 2 big media companies joining for fear of a monopoly while youtube easily gets far more viewers and watch hours than the two of them combined

that and i don’t think its ever been profitable

people love twitter so much they subscribe to it on other social media platforms!

for some reason I read that in Jeremy Clarkson’s voice

huge number of people who make controversial statements (particularly those who are pro-russia) have their profiles set to hidden so you can’t see what else they have posted

Ukraine’s European allies have reassured Zelenskyy of their ‘unwavering’ support in joint call

Thank fuck

I really really really don’t understand why they keep thinking appeasement can work

They shower trump with gold and now they look like a bunch of dickheads

Fuck Trump, Fuck America.

just constantly amazed at how they keep making progress, despite solar panels being ultra cheap already it feels like we’re heading towards transistor style solar cells for pennies

and promised a response “more than just diplomatic”

🤞 please be something substantial

yeah did my head in as well, it’s like they made up their own financial quarters

Reliable recent statistics do not exist; however, Nigeria is divided roughly in half between 50–55% Muslims, who live mostly in the northern regions, and 35–45% Christians, who live mostly in the southern regions

All the Islamic countries are left off the list for some strange reason

Honestly feminists need to learn how to turn off the comment section, every time they post A WOMAN ACTUALLY DID X FIRST, the comment section is there to ruin the delusion

Yes that’s one of the downsides, unfortunately many people in my country don’t care

Tesla may have experienced a sales slump in recent months, but it’s still Australia’s number one electric vehicle (EV) brand by a huge margin.

So since there are more Tesla EV’s than any other company they are going to be the most on the used car market and get cheaper prices

Pros:

• Cheap
• EV
• Has decent distance

Cons

• Musk

yep, seeing 2019/2020 model 3’s starting to head towards 20k here in Australia, absolute bargain

TOKYO – Japan is considering an increase of at least threefold in its departure tax, Nikkei has learned, raising revenue to address damage caused by overtourism as the country receives more visitors.

The levy, formally known as the International Tourist Tax, stands at 1,000 yen ($6.50) per person and is paid by anyone leaving Japan, regardless of nationality. Some in the ruling Liberal Democratic Party support an increase in the levy. The government aims to decide by the end of the year through discussions with the ruling coalition’s tax commission and other bodies.

The tax is collected by adding the cost to airline or ship fares. In fiscal 2024, revenue from the tax rose to a record 52.4 billion yen.

But such a tax hike could reduce the number of Japanese nationals traveling overseas, so the government also is considering a simultaneous cut to passport issuance fees for citizens. An online application for a 10-year passport costs 15,900 yen. Lowering that figure would require changes to the Passport Act.

Japan would use the anticipated increase in tax revenue to address overtourism through measures such as building new parking areas and garbage bins, easing congestion on public transportation and supporting the introduction of reservation systems at tourist facilities. Visitors to Japan reached a record 36.87 million in 2024, the Japan National Tourism Organization reports.

Meanwhile, 13 million Japanese nationals traveled abroad, 35% lower than in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic. The weak yen is thought to be influencing both inbound and outbound travel trends.

corrupt ukrainians must be not used to the worlds eyes on them, if you want to be a corrupt fuckhead feel free to cross the border into russia

yeah it’s absolutely mental hyundai have done this tbh, I do wonder since there is so little maint to do on EV’s whether it’s an attempt to throw their service centres/dealerships a bone… but damn does it come off as silly

really one of those studies if it had been started a few years earlier could have made all the difference

do you think the average ev driver around the world is worried about road salt?
