the place to watch is the farmlands. where they don't have the political sway that the major cities pushing for ev's have, but will drastically effect all of our budgeting when easily-storable liquid fuel prices start spiking. there's nothing in the way of development of electric combines and field-charging solutions, because the use-case would never work for a battery tech like lithium.
we might see some development of hydrogen tech in that arena, as it's storable, portable, and somewhat stable, though it seems like hydrogen development has almost entirely stalled?

Unlike petrol, which ends up in the atmosphere (let's not get into carbon capture), the elements extracted from the ground to create a battery are still there, and recyclable, when the battery reaches its end-of-life. You don't have to extract them again like you do for fossil fuels. |

So we go "green" and 3rd world countries take our place in terms of fossil fuel consumption? Sounds like fixing one thing and breaking 3 others in the process.

just look at the shipping industry. as soon as they leave port they switch from clean burning diesel to heavy fuel oil. and that's just the fuel. looking into what flag each ship flies under, and who actually owns it is like playing 'Find that shell company'. so it's no shock they also hire some of the cheapest labor they can find internationally to run the operations.

What's your alternative? Not going green and still having them take our place in terms of fossil fuel consumption?

Or, if our survival depends on it, we could help them transition to green energy, bypassing the mistakes we made. Or not. Survival may not matter that much to us.

Ain't nobody got time (or money) for that! Communists be damned, making vroom vroom noises and buying new smartphones is much more important. |

there's a reason we're still divided by country around the globe, and can't come up with a singular global governing body, like all the space movies say we want to do.

But you know, they are going EV and autonomous. They do have electricity running to farms, but for sure hydrogen will be a future option along with renewable fuels. https://www.farmanddairy.com/news/oh...er/738621.html Interview with John Deere discussing moving to green technology. https://www.agweb.com/news/machinery...ohn-deeres-cto

Well there is the UN, and all but a few countries didn’t sign the Paris Climate Agreement, so it isn’t like “rich” countries are the only ones on board with reducing their carbon footprint.

There's a big difference between signing a paper and actually doing something.
