I just read an article predicting that, "due to rising raw material costs" an EV battery might be up to $8000 dearer to manufacture by the end of 2022 than is was at the start of the year.
Or don't - that "film" was a monumental pile of shite...If you think Biomass is a solution , take a look at "Planet of the Humans" on you tube.
Hi JoBo.
I am unfamiliar with Henry George taxation system and had to research the concept. I am neither an economist nor a social reformer and don't have the experience and knowledge to constructively comment. I am struggling to see the connection with my post though which was essentially about my interest in BEV, the transition from ICE to BEV in Australia catching up with other countries and what we will need to do as a consequence for road infrastructure and maintenance revenue & funding.
But, with the "short-term-ism" in Australian governments, and their inability to implement even limited tax reform, I very much doubt that a Georgism single tax paradigm would get on the agenda, if indeed we even needed it.
Cheers.
That's a double-edged sword - attempt to collapse an exporter's currency and it's liable to create a boon in increased value into the future. I wonder how Russia's trade balance is overall. We've seen their food prices go up, but that appears to be the case elsewhere as well.Demand for energy payment in roubles has upset the markets and they are higher.
It's an odd situation. They've got 330 billion in US dollars in western banks and the banks have frozen the money. They're trying to make Russia default on loan payments but the Russians say it's the banks that have defaulted. They have 2400 tonnes of gold as their reserve. Wisely in their own vaults not London or Fort Knox. Western Europe is still buying their oil and gas and higher energy prices have increased their income. There's been a run on sugar in Russian shops. We hoard toilet paper, they hoard sugar. They've temporarily stopped all food exports to keep the shops stocked.That's a double-edged sword - attempt to collapse an exporter's currency and it's liable to create a boon in increased value into the future.

Reamed ? and for those dreaming an EV future reamed and exploited, tax will not be denied.....Industry talk is that the real shortfall in the world supply won't be apparent until April. So where we'll be then who knows.

I think they are all chocked full of technology though, because apparently "that's what everyone wants".Hi.
Thats good news, My mining shares will increase in value, and my cost per 100km will decrease. I will need to place my order soon to take advantage of the second.
Actually I am interested in BEV but not at the moment, as I don't want an iPhone on wheels. When there are some alternative options I will pursue this. I also need to get my infrastructure in place at home, and have started finalising my options.
Hi. I don't understand why it is, but Australia seems to be content to just be a quarry. Imagine the economic boost if we value added to our minerals domesticaly.The Australian market will probably be served by Chinese made vehicles (under various brands). I'm sure some will be basic transport machines.
