Milton Dick is a Roadie or was (the bloke in the pic) but I know there's a few important people from BBC that ride from Springfield to the city.Come on, give the tuckshop mum a break. She's planning for a cycleway - that's showing off her green credentials...

That's dangerous, I wonder if they will try and drag them through court. There was a secret court hearing about rail capacity up there at one of the ports that an engineer I know was engaged to give calculation theories and evidence in a court hearing.This could also be in the politics thread...
Adani demands names of CSIRO scientists reviewing groundwater plans

Their names will be on the report, they can wait until then. No legitimate reason to know before that time other than to try and apply professional pressure to improperly influence the outcome.Adani demands names of CSIRO scientists reviewing groundwater plans

"We are a professional scientific organisation and don't simple throw unreviewed stuff out the door, we have standards and management takes responsibility, as they should. The department kindly request that you go and fuck yourselves".Federal environmental department said:A department spokeswoman said it "consulted with CSIRO and Geoscience Australia about Adani's request" but did not provide the names "as the advice on the plans was received from CSIRO and Geoscience Australia, rather than individuals within those agencies".
I don't know what your friend was involved in, but there's a high legal bar to try and involve an engineer against their will in these sorts of proceedings. It sounds as if he was paid to be an expert witness to explain his reasoning, which meant he would have faced no personal liability. Simply providing a technical report or input for an area in which you have expertise can only get you in trouble if you are really careless. Even then, you generally have no duty of care for third parties whose businesses may be negatively affected by your findings. At most they can dispute your findings with their own experts, but they can't require you to defend your work in court.That's dangerous, I wonder if they will try and drag them through court.

He had to give calculations and expert opinion to prove whether the structure would work to capacity or not and actually had some type of indemnity signed. He had no involvement with the initial engineering of the structure but someone was to blame for the engineering fuck up.I don't know what your friend was involved in, but there's a high legal bar to try and involve an engineer against their will in these sorts of proceedings.

Lol. Amusing mental image of a bunch of bank robbers running out and getting on saddled goats and escaping at a leisurely rate ...He had to give calculations and expert opinion to prove whether the structure would work to capacity or not and actually had some type of indemnity signed.

Anyway that's besides the point that Adani are looking for an escape goat.
Fixed.After all, they need to know where to send the Black Throated Finch heads...
I don't disagree that there is a significant energy investment in EV's, but the first few lines of the article you linked state:Please read this:

Then look at this:

Average Euro ICE car is average, something like my Polo would be better than a Tesla Model 3 if the EV was fuelled anywhere other than France or Norway.
Insane.
And we still think EVs are the solution.
But check out the embedded CO2 emissions in battery production.
Mental.
Will. Without a doubt.If you barely drive your aging thirsty ICE the environmental impact may be far less.
Well, based on current warranties offered by a lot of manufacturers, which is 100,000 miles, 150,000km would only need 1 battery pack.Your words match the graph, you needn’t have bothered typing
Yeah, a decarbonised electricity grid results in CO2 improvement but as SF stated, what if 150k travel needed two battery packs?
And have another look in the article, it is possible to manufacture less CO2 embedded battery packs but I bet the fuck the world doesn’t.
Lowest cost, maximum CO2 emissions during manufacture unless mandated otherwise.
So much focus on tailpipe emissions, so little focus on the big picture.
