Diesel just punched a record in Canada so hard the pump should get hazard pay. ⛽🇨🇦

$342.57. For 105 litres. Not a meme. A total. 🧾

Thought grocery prices were already a hostage situation? Cute. Wait till this works its way through the system and lands on you. Yes, you. 🛒

Current situation re electric trucks in Australia, where lots of stuff moves long distances (quoting James Purtill’s ABC article) : “ About a fifth of trucks in Australia are prime movers used for "line haul" long-distance bulk transportation of freight between cities and towns.

“”Battery-powered models are available but have limited applications, Mr Hammond [the Trucking Industry Council's (TIC) chief technical officer] said.

"You'd be lucky to get 300 kilometres on any of the major transport routes before you need probably a two-hour recharge," he said.

More powerful chargers would reduce this time but place a greater strain on the regional power network.

The amount of power required to recharge an electric road train in the space of an hour was about equivalent to that of a small commercial building, which would be more than some towns' spare capacity.

Hundreds of dedicated charging depots would need to be built to electrify intercity freight, and this would be expensive.” [end quote]

Good that someone’s run the numbers. Add diesel trucks & it could be a great research project. 🙂

🚚📡 Ah, the riveting saga of diesel trucks devoid of electronics at a radio observatory—because who doesn't love the smell of outdated technology in the morning? 🤦‍♂️ Apparently, reading about it for the seventh time is supposed to be enlightening, but it's really just a testament to the power of #nostalgia for things that should remain in the past. 😴👋

The phasing out of #DieselTrucks is wonderful AND worrisome.

Wonderful:
- #CleanAir!
- poor and underserved neighborhoods will benefit particularly, as they tend to be close to pollution centers.
- less #FossilFuels and less #climate pollution
- less noise

Worrisome:
#Aerosols (that is, #AirPollution) shield the sun's radiation. It's our ongoing unintended #GeoEngineering, happening now, cooling the planet a bit. Some of that will end when diesel trucks are banned.
