Re: Technology
Then there is the push by many EU countries to ban the sale of all new combustions engine vehicles by 2040.
All electric they say, but wait we have a problem Scotty!!!!
Most EU countries garner some 60% tax on the sale of fuel, UK and Greece some 55%
Here in Oz it is 40 cents per litre.
Today our feral gov suddenly woke up realizing that drivers of electric card do not pay any excise duty as they do not buy fuel!
How can we build roads without money they cry!!!!
Well something will have to be done, methinks maybe a new tax on the electric they draw from the system???


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
