That's fine in a high density CBD, but wont wok in outer suberbs let alone in rural settings.

Petrol and deisel engines are on the way out but I'd be backing Hydrogen over batteries.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

It's going to be fun to have intermittent energy sources like solar and wind, without any reliable base load power in the equation.

I guess we can pat ourselves on the back say we "saved the planet" while China continues to build new coal fire powered stations.

Of course! We’ll consider anyone who applies, and I don’t see why you wouldn’t do a good job. There’ll be a few applications for us to choose from of course, but if it’s something you want to do, you should go for it!

In the mess at work the other day. One of the blokes greets a South African workmate with "Whada ya know".... The South African, very defensively responded " What do I know about what??!!".

You had to be there I guess, but it made me chuckle.
Don't count the days, make the days count.

That’s funny.

I remember a Sri Lankan person who had just arrived at Melbourne airport being asked “How are you going?”. He innocently replied “my cousin is picking me up in his car”
