Something went wrong, must have been me 

[Mycroft]

The over population problem is, as Mr Thomas correctly states, not a problem....the human race in most regions of the planet is currently not producing enough offspring to even keep the numbers stable....we are going to shrink globally as a populace in fairly short order.
As for the electric cars, there will never be as many EVs as there are ICE motors in the world, at least not while we still rely on lithium for the main ingredient of the batteries; it has been worked out that even if we could mine all of the world's lithium and use it for EV batteries there would only be enough to produce vehicles for less than 1/4 of the number of ICE vehicles at present....but don't worry folks, once the Agenda 2030 and WEF plans for 2050 are all in place we'll all be living in lovely 15 minute cities, own nothing and be happy....

.....what could possibly go wrong?

A (hairy) man after my own heart. Eat ze bugs peasants!

Well this is cheerful and uplifting isn't it? 

I'm happy in my own little world of blissful ignorance...

For "My Diesel Claim"  substitute "My EV Claim!!!"

Just gruesome theatre or could it be a foretelling of our own future where, once again, science fiction becomes reality      I`ll let you decide while you enjoy your Sunday roast    

....no need to worry about good old Soylent Green, they're presently making fake beef in labs from cow cells and can 3d print fake fish fillets from lab grown fish cells for our future delectation....along with the powdered cricket that they are planning to put in flour the future is looking mighty dystopian to say the least....

I'm so glad I live in the middle of nowhere and can graze on bambi burgers and local veg, far from any ulez zones, cctv's or other such modern annoyances....and my only motors are old Landys that have no electronics to further complicate matters should said dystopia ever surface on this fair isle of ours!

Hi.

Many yonks ago, I read a sci-fi story where the hero went looking to find the basis for the sole source of synthetic meat.

He found that earlier research had found that the the most suitable meat for humans, was ....
human flesh.

Looks like someone had the basis for 'Mad Cow Disease' before the Mad Cow !
Soylent Green Green Grass . . .

Good Evening All,

Very recent announcement regarding semi solid state batteries - https://www.arenaev.com/nio_is_ready_to_offer_worlds_first_semisolid_state_150_kwh_batteries-news-2043.php

Progress being made all the time to more viable alternatives.

£33,200 for just the battery 


... and still using lithium!
