I saw that the UK plans to hit zero carbon by 2050. It's a bold plan to be sure. It is in keeping with the NO MAR CARS THAT RUN PETROL law that kicks in 2030 in the land of tea and crumpets. Also a bold move. Going to be tricky though but it's on track.
what sorta shocked me was seeing that oil company CHEVRON says that they will be carbon neutral by 2050? CHEVRON Oil? Their main product is, OIL which is not a carbon neutral product. Mining oil is not carbon neutral either. how does a company that only sells carbon emitting products plan to go to zero carbin emissions? Hmm.. Evidently CHEVRON says it is moving away from it's primary product. OIL. And pivoting towards renewables. Seems a bit of a stretch that an oil company is going to stop selling oil, but we shall see I do hope chevron pivots to carbon neutral energy as it may save them as a company. *check out this solo lesson https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Whammy-Lead/ This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Oct 20 2021, 03:34 AM |

I think you are spot on. They do have to start to pivot. THey really have no choice. One of the big motivators is something called the EURO 7 set of standards that are coming up. As a result, several big car companies have said that they will no long continue to develop new gas engines. It's part of the reason that Bugatti is know part of the RIMAC group (a small eastern euro startup company) who make EV drive trains and parts that are found in most every performance EV out there. Here is a video on euro 7.
in light of this it makes the UK legislation about getting rid of new gas cars make more sense. But europe isn't really the problem in terms of emissions it's really china. The market shift to EV will catch hold there as well as so many builders will be making EV and one BIG factor is that it's very hard to get a license plate for a gas car in china. It takes months/years of waiting. However, it's easy and quick to get a license plate for a EV car in china. The govt is very stiff on giving out license plates and they are using it to shift buyers towards EV cars. I've spoken with several of my cambly students from China about this lately. One big shift in China is that the govt won't allow provinces to put a limit on the number of EV license plates. They currently have limits/quotas on license plates for gas powered cars. Getting a license plate can cost $50,000 USD. Last year there were THREE MILLION PEOPLE ON THE WAITING LIST FOR A LICENSE PLATE IN BEIJING. ouch. They only gave out 60k license plates for EVs. But now that is gonna change. So it will create a bottleneck of people trying to buy an EV just so they can actually get a license plate. Its also lottery based. so even if one has the money, its' still a lottery. This won't be the case anymore on EVs. https://electrek.co/2019/06/06/china-boost-...e-plate-quotas/ I'm not surprised in the least. All of the major players in the oil buisiness have made investments in renewable energy. Shell oil announced the exact same goal as Chevron. BP, Exxon and the rest have all made moves in that direction because as I said before. Beyond being in the oil buisiness, they are in the ENERGY buisiness, so it's only logical to move in that direction. But don't count on anyone being truely carbon neutral by 2050. The list of petroleum based products is long and won't be replaced anytime soon.

Because they won't. But they will make lots of money off the movement in the mining of rare earth minerals and they won't use EV's or clean mining techniques to do it. Green energy isn't really green at all. Anyway, In the 28 years till 2050, we may come to the realization that man's use of fossil fuels effect on climate has been greatly overestimated for whatever reasons since there is a strong and growing body of evidence that supports that there are other factors involved that effect climate which are beyond our control and influence. After all, the notion that carbon is a major driver of a changing climate has always only been a theory and not a fact. This post has been edited by AK Rich: Oct 21 2021, 07:28 PM |

If it walks like crap smells like crap , you can bet it is big oil |

I noticed this on youtube as well. I don't think this is "Political"? It seems like just technology? I mean, it's what happens typically. Like the drone that got hellfire missiles and became the reaper. once a platform is proven, the military typically weaponizes it. Just the march of technology really.
I quess if an instructor opened this up for political talk WE have way worse problems this this issue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zWIN2sdDQU |
