The lobbying by traditional energy industry is ridiculous now, the Times were running a scaremongering article yesterday about how China could cause standstill on UK roads by selling us electric cars with remotely activated dead switches that they could supposedly activate at any time. It then went on to say that China dominated the lithium market and Britain was too far behind so we should be looking to hydrogen cars instead. Presumably the oil companies would produce this hydrogen and slot it into the existing petrol station infrastructure. To me it's a blatant attempt to keep people hooked on their products, thus maintaining power over everyone and extracting profits, basically maintaining business as usual. They can't do that if people own solar panels and generate their own energy or if renewable energy becomes so cheap to produce that it only costs pennies. I can't wait until we hit the tipping point and these selfish, greedy companies get put in their place. The ridiculous article: https://archive.li/3uPLo https://archive.li/3uPLo
