It’s becoming a joke all around the world — the EVs in Australia powered
by dirty diesel. But what’s the difference? Most EV’s in Australia are
running on fossil fuel — the generators are just hidden behind longer
extension cords. (Ones that carry 240,000V). EV’s on our grid are
running on 80% fossil fuels every day. The sig

Dr Rex Fleming has a PhD in Meteorology and spent years at NOAA, as he

Dioxide Theory of Climate Change (2019) and has just done a podcast with

Showing their mastery of business, the Victorian Government is helping
