The Climate, Environment and Energy Thread

[LP]

Once the producers get approvals and governments commit to subsidies and guaranteed purchases of hydrogen, we all know they’ll be allowed to rewrite the deals to make them work.

True, but then you must be fairly upset about the SolarPV industry filling warehouses full of never to be recycled redundant failed panels that didn't last the expected ROI lifetime!

And you must be furious about the SolarPV people getting massive grants, widely supported by a public expecting generous feed tariffs from providers that evaporated as the installations grew!

Now, as the range of older(old by EV standards) EVs falloff a cliff, we are starting to see old EV batteries pile up, batteries built on subsidies and sold at a premium. 10 years becomes 5 years, 300km becomes 210km, a 4hr charge is now overnight, and recycling seems to evaporate or become repurpose.

Same coin, different side, not a spec of high ground to be obtained.

Fiscal or legal or marketing smokescreens, as deadly as any desert mirage!
