Electric long haul trucking no time soon: Volvo - carsales.com.au
The trucking and logistics sector is perhaps the biggest piece of the decarbonisation puzzle, but can battery-electric deliver, and when it comes to greener solutions for long-haul trucking, are we dreaming?

That! With renewable being this grand and the savours of the world climate you’d think Africa, India, China etc would be filling the country side with panels! Yet they are not they are constructing dozens of coal fired plants every week! Old school coal plants not even the newer CCT plants

LMFAO … have you seen how much renewables China have installed.
It tool 62 years for the world to reach 1 Terawatt of renewables… and it’s taken another 2 years to reach 2 Terawatts…. Over 50% of that in China.
You clearly are an idiot and have no idea. Do some reading and research.

China has installed 210GW worth of renewable energy through the first three quarters of 2024, with renewables now taking a 35 per cent share of total grid output.

It’s the greatest scam known
China accounted for 95% of the world’s new coal power construction activity in 2023, according to the latest annual report from Global Energy Monitor (GEM).
Construction began on 70 gigawatts (GW) of new capacity in China, up four-fold since 2019, says GEM’s annual report on the global coal power industry.
This compares with less than 4GW of new coal power construction starting in the rest of the world – the lowest since 2014.
Outside China, only 32 countries have new coal projects at pre-construction phases of development and just seven have plants under construction.
While global coal power capacity – both overall and outside China – grew in 2023, GEM says this is likely to be a “blip” that will be offset by accelerating coal retirements in the next few years in the US and Europe.

Articles from 2023 aren’t relevant. The world has almost doubled solar capacity since then.
It’s expected China will in 2025, or already has, reached peak coal and peak oil.
Keep backing the wrong horse.
2023 is only 1 year and nearly 4 months ago! But here goes from 13 feb 2025
You lot really struggle at to opposite to what government media and other left wing propaganda dribble out
BeijingAP —
China’s power industry began construction on nearly 100 gigawatts of new coal plant capacity last year, the most in nearly a decade, a report from two clean-energy groups said Thursday.
The development raises concerns about the ability of the world’s largest carbon dioxide emitter to meet its climate goals and threatens to undercut China’smassive expansion in solar and wind power, which has far outpaced that in the United States and Europe, the report said.
“Instead of replacing coal, clean energy is being layered on top of an entrenched reliance on fossil fuels,” it said.

There is no dampening. China commenced building a record number of coal power stations in 2024.
While renewables are being layered onto fossil fuel, I don't see any meaningful reduction in emissions anytime soon.
COVID was almost the saviour of the planet and threatened to kill off a billion people in China the US and India so they didn't need as much energy. But alas, politicians and scientists got in the way of saving our future selves.

People are rightly concerned about sea level rise if we keep using fossil fuels at our current rates, much of human civilization located on the coastline will be at risk of increased flooding over the next hundred years. There are other risks, a recent algal bloom in SA has killed millions of marine creatures. It started a month ago when the combination of warm and still waters caused a bloom of Karenia mikimotoi algae. This month more sea creatures have been found dead. Fish, penguins and many invertebrates species. At this point we are still awaiting toxicological confirmation it is the same algae but I would bet my bottom dollar it is. SA divers say it is by far the worst bloom they have seen.
https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article...n-sa-but-its-not-entirely-clear-why/ho2vble65
These kinds of events will be much more common as the sea continues to heat up. Algal blooms are becoming more severe and more common as the seas warm and we continue to fill them with excess nutrients. A lot of mass extinction in paleohistory have involved seas warming and eutrophication (excess nutrients). We need to heed the warnings, not listen to fools like Mr Trump and Mr Abbott who both claim climate change is a hoax.

If every industrial accident causing deaths meant that the materials involved are evil and shouldn't be used then.....
We should stop using water ( Hoover dam was horrible for worker deaths ).
We shouldn't live in high rise buildings.
We shouldn't use anything that uses work vehicles to get to job sites ( vehicle deaths ).
etc.
Citing the workplace accident that killed Indonesia's Nickel workers is more a reflection of the OHS practices in that country than the incidental material that was being processed. Whether its used in car batteries or not is irrelevant.
If they were building an office building for Microsoft and workers fell off during construction, would we consider that Windows was bad for workers?
