Yes, the French are striking again (this time 'cos they might be asked to retire at 64 - we can only dream of that!), but scroll down a bit - ER France are jumping on the bandwagon and vandalising E-Scooters..
Apparently E-Scooters aren't green enough for them - the wrong sort of green transport!

Well spotted!
"I swapped my car to an eco-diesel" - you monster, think of the Nitrous Oxides!
"I swapped my diesel for a hybrid" - still burning dinosaurs, dude.
"I swapped my hybrid for electric" - seriously, do you know how they mine lithium?
"I swapped my electric car for an electric bike" - still too much fossil fuel used to charge it, think of the planet, not yourself for once!
"I swapped my electric bike for a push bike" - they use all sorts of chemicals to refine the metal in bike frames...
"I'm walking from now on." - the plastics in those shoes come from oil. Gaia is literally bleeding to death because of you.
"I'm walking in all leather shoes." - murderer!
"I'm walking in shoes weaved from sustainable hemp crops." - now you're getting it
"My feet hurt, I'm miserable, I think I'm gonna kill myself." - wise choice, just make sure you're not cremated and buried in a biodegradable casket. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

It comes down to the difference between left and right wing politics. The modern left in Britain have virtue as their guiding principle, but virtue signalling is a competitive activity so simply matching the outrage/virtue of another is not enough. You must be even more angry, and show that you care even more, and do so more publicly. Environ-mentalists and vegans are the worst offenders for this kind of thing. |

More electric vehicle stuff....
Wireless charging for electric taxis to be launched in UK first
Sounds good yes? Well sort of. Digging a bit deeper it's for just 5 taxis, all of which will need special hardware.
Electric taxis in the city will be able to recharge their batteries by parking over five plates in the road while waiting for their next passengers.
Another interesting statement in the article was
Wireless charging was launched for buses in Milton Keynes in 2014, but the vehicles could only recharge at the start and end of their routes.
Uh, Duh. When else would you expect them to be able to recharge? at every stop? Actually I didn't know that was implemented. 2014 so nothings progressed much since then.
So, as much as I want to say this is progress, 5 charging points and major modifications to the vehicles to me doesn't bode well for mass implementation. When it comes, and it will, what happens if the technology the car manufacturers agree on is completely different to what's already been installed. Also, who is going to dig up every road in the country to fit these plates when they can't even afford to fill in a pothole now.

Links would have been nice
Charging at the start and end you say How about "charging" all along the route...
Surely now is the time for TrolleyBus 2.0
Madness, to try and re-invent the wheel when there's a perfectly usable eco-friendly, electrically powered wheel already rolling around! ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |
