@GeoffBuysCars ... wow ... no longer hiding their plan ...

[Bernie @Artemisfornow]

Er … remember when remote control of your heating was a “conspiracy theory”?

Well now it’s government policy.

By the end of 2027, licensed companies will be able to remotely reduce or shift heat-pump heating to “balance the grid”.
And the infrastructure is being built into the system.

(Don’t worry you won’t HAVE to use it, except if the government decides it’s and ‘emergency’)

@mguytv ... Ireland making a proper holicks of ryibg to artificially stimulate the EV market ...

[TonightVMTV @TonightVMTV]

🗣️ “This is only going to distort the market.”

People driving older petrol and diesel cars could receive up to €8,500 towards a new electric vehicle under a proposed scrappage scheme.

But critics say the focus should be on building out charging infrastructure.

[Ldn_Del @Ldn_Del]

@mguytv ... hahaha ... now Ireland trying to bribe people to buy EV's ... some comments are priceless ... focus on rural drivers over urban with a 65/65 split ... forgetting Jan25, when after a storm, parts of rural Ireland had no electricity for 14 days ... its a wealth transfer

[RTÉ News @rtenews]

A €10m pilot scrappage scheme to encourage motorists to buy an electric vehicle is to be introduced by Minister for Transport Darragh O'Brien https://t.co/i20ZT5Z2BQ

In France, an unusual race was held featuring ten Citroën Ami cars

These are small electric vehicles that usually reach speeds of up to 45 km/h and, in many countries, do not require a driver’s license.

During the event, they were “pushed” to around 65 km/h.

Due to their limited range of about 75 km, the race was held not on a traditional track but on a velodrome.

Participants completed 100 laps in front of spectators and commentators.

@BarrieCrampton ... it'd be funny if it wasn't so serious ... tax payer on the hook ... again

[Lawrence Whittaker @ListerLawrence]

If you buy the new Ferrari Luce as a company car you can deduct 100% of the purchase price from your taxable profits…. So if your profits exceed £250k, buying a Luce would save you £125k in corporation tax. This ludicrous tax loophole is why so many new EV’s are sold. According to gov figures 78% of all EV’s are bought through a busienss. If this tax loophole didn’t exist the number of new EV’s being sold in the UK would be staggeringly lower.

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

The State of Israel ordered UNRWA to vacate all premises in occupied East Jerusalem and cease its operations in them by 30 January 2025.

This order is in contradiction to international law obligations of UN member states including the State of Israel, which is bound by the General Convention on Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations.

United Nations premises are inviolable and enjoy privileges and immunities under the United Nations Charter.

The State of Israel is a signatory -without reservations- to the General Convention on Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations and enacted its provisions in its domestic law.  These provisions oblige the State of Israel to respect United Nations privileges and immunities, including respect for United Nations premises.

UNRWA property and assets including in East Jerusalem are immune from search, requisition, confiscation, expropriation, and any other form of interference.

Claims from the Israeli authorities that UNRWA has no right to occupy the premises are without foundation. They promote anti-UNRWA rhetoric, placing the Agency’s facilities and personnel at risk. The Government of Israel has stated publicly that the aim to vacate UNRWA premises in Sheikh Jarrah is to expand Israeli illegal settlements in occupied East Jerusalem.

The State of Israel must take all appropriate measures consistent with international law obligations to ensure that UNRWA’s property and installations are respected and protected.

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

The screeching madness of the EU: It slaps large tariffs on Chinese EVs. But because EU car makers can’t build enough EVs, the EU forces them to pay Chinese carmakers 100s of millions of € for carbon credits earned for producing EVs. Madness in action! https://t.co/7GkOReFB5O
