@matsv201: We are squandering hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayers money on uneconomical and unreliable renewable energy projects. The wind turbines are a colossal waste of taxpayers money and resources (including coal and oil). They make no economic sense and subsidies should cease. Solar panels are only economical in sunny areas between the 35th parallels. Even in favourable areas there is a major mismatch between peak supply and peak demand. Inclement weather can render them useless for prolonged periods (backup batteries can completely discharge). The General Secretary of the United Nations should resign for colluding with climate hysteria. It is highly irresponsible. We should withdraw from the Paris Accord forthwith and use the most economical energy and transportation resources available.

You have covered all of the bases in this upload, and this one is a real "Home run "! The entire Global Warming and Climate Change hoax is starting to unravel, and with every EV that spontaneously combusts the lie about EVs being "Zero Emission" continues to unravel also. There are several interesting studies regarding the actual impact of those EVs- and the average ICE car is cleaner and lives longer than those EVs. Thanks, John ! Greetings from 'Murica!

I have a 51 year old car (1972 Ford Pinto woodgrain wagon) that my dad bought brand new for just over $2400. I am now 64, and still have it, and it runs just fine. Yes, it has been through a couple of engines and a number of other parts, but the body is still rock solid and rust free. I live in Arizona U.S. where things just don't rust. I'm going to continue to drive it for the rest of my life, and my son in law is interested in it after that. I don't own one (yet) but I am an honorary member of a Ford Model T club, and most of their cars are over 100 years old, and have been restored to brand new condition. I don't believe there is a life cycle for cars. They can be kept going indefinitely unless they wind up getting destroyed somehow. This of course does not apply to battery powered vehicles, which are designed from the ground up to be disposable like cigarette lighters, ball point pens or razors.

First class, once again. I'm almost 70, and when I was a kid governments would correct themselves every time they were caught doing the wrong thing - the only change is they don't correct themselves, because they have learned that getting caught can simply be ignored.

If you do the maths on electric vs fossil fuel and know where your grid electricity comes from on an annual average, you can work out which is the ‘greener’ option for you. It may be electric is better for you, it may be petrol or diesel. It also depends on which green metrics are more important to you. Is it CO2, local air quality, mineral extraction, ethics of resource use and so on? It’s more complicated than “This good, that bad.” whichever side of the debate you are on.

Nice channeling of George Carlin there. …and yes, I did the homework that you set for us a couple of weeks ago…

John doing his best impression of George Carlin Advertising Lullaby at 8:15. Great stuff.

I’ve never understood why anyone would drive an EV for the environment. I only like my EV because my electric rates are regulated by the state, so my daily commute costs are stable and predictable. I honestly can’t care much about the environment, I’ll be dead in 30 years or so. Same reason I stopped using fossil fuels for heating my house, they just aren’t economically reliable anymore.

I miss the days when someone could suggest they be termed REVs (Remote Emissions Vehicle) without threat of lynching, but that obviously doesn't sound as sexy as _Zero_ Emissions Vehicle to a certain subset of the public. And since when did advertising have to have a relationship with the truth, anyway?

As a guy who thoroughly enjoys his 2022 EV, people are always surprised when I tell them the fact that my car will have a higher carbon footprint than an equivalent sized car, until they both reach about 75,000 miles. I’m in the Midwest of ‘merca. My ‘green machine’ is powered by roughly 60% coal. Truthfully, I just like how it drives, accelerates and that I get to charge for free at work, so rarely ever pay for the angry pixies. In the 29,000ish miles I’ve owned the vehicle, I’ve spent about $300 total, largely only during road trips. I rotate my own tires in the garage at home. So I’ve never needed to do any other service and shouldn’t for quite a long time. I suggest an EV for those who would directly benefit from the purchase, not because it’s ‘better for the environment’. For many people it’s not better and more of a hassle. Stick to a gas/petrol/diesel vehicle. Our other vehicle is a diesel sprinter van. 🤪

John: Since you regularly mention the the CO2 contribution from passenger vehicle use in Australia, I decided to see if I could determine the equivalent here in 'merica. You are correct in that THEY don't want us to actually know. I had to research multiple sources and get out my calculator. The answer, 10.4%! Of course, we should compare this number with: Power Generation 28%. Industry 23%. Other Transportation 17.6%. Me thinks they have the wrong priority.

This should also apply to the Labor government on PV solar and wind turbines mostly manufactured in China and there is considerable CO2 emission starting with the mining of minerals, manufacturing, transport, shipping, warehousing, installation in Australia. In addition, in Australia concrete and steel structures for foundations, roads for support, operation and maintenance, decommissioning and restoration of the environment, recycling or landfill impact, replacement of the entire infrastructure after 20-25 years. In case of wind turbines around coast lines, there CO2 emission for the providing of harbour infrastructure and boats for and operation, supporting and shipping/erection of infrastructure and ocean based hotel infrastructure for maintenance personnel (similar to the north sea operation in Europe), CO2 emissions and cranes used for installation, concrete and steel for sea foundations, recycling of carbon fibre blades and steel structures, Nacelle electronics and batteries, trucking of material and special road construction for turbine blade transports and the list just goes on. In case of renewable PV solar and wind, backup infrastructure, batteries, nuclear, gas or coal, transmission lines plus associated infrastructure, workforce accommodation and transport to and from remote sites, steel construction and concrete for safety fencing, CO2 emissions to produce special tools, safety clothing, operational consumables and so on. With wind, the 20-year life cycle also applies and after this the restoration of the environment and infrastructure replacement should all be considered. It should be mandatory to quote life cycle-based CO2 emission savings taking all issues into account. It should also be mandatory to prohibit quoting wind farms in terms of peak power, for example GWs but rather in terms of the average annual MWhs produced by each turbine. The same should apply to PV solar where the average annual MWh output should be quoted. The weighted average duty cycle of wind and solar as well as MWh energy output should be compared with the capital cost while infrastructure is standing idle for most of the time. This means that the efficiency AND lifecycle energy produced should not only be compared to net CO2 saving but also compared with nuclear, gas and other forms of energy production. The land sacrificed for PV solar and wind farms, that carries an opportunity cost for alternative uses such as food production, farming, or tree planting should also be considered. When all these issues plus issues that I haven’t mentioned above are considered in terms of CO2 emission and economic feasibility using NPV and IRR life-cycle evaluation at a commercial discount rate of 10% (say), I can assure anyone looking at this that picture is not as rosy as our Labor energy minister claims. In terms of zero emissions there are 8 billion people on earth breathing in 0.04% CO2 and breathing out 4% of CO2 and there is no way to make an argument that this is carbon neutral. Has anyone ever measured the CO2 level in a typical university lecture theatre? Suprise, it's about 800-1000 ppm or 0.08 -1% CO2.

That alone would make life more pleasant in large urban centres and is a worthy reason to switch to an EV if your circumstances permit it.

Good video John - i just bought the swivel pro max 97 bucks - bargain plus fee post to VIC

My flatulent posterior is closer to zero emissions than that !

Just don't get close to people.

Based on Google-offered numbers: Considering total efficiency (from power plant to EV to the road) and ICE car (fuel to the road) then they both are similar in efficiency (somewhere in range 20-30%). My diesel powered car does ~5L/100km, which converts to about 50kWh/100km. It is a decent sized vehicle from my viewpoint - 7 seater minivan, can have up to 2 tons in tow. EV-s are claimed to consume around 4-6km/kWh => around 15-25kWh/100km So, EV is more efficient until power plants, transmission lines, transformers and chargers step in (~2/3 losses there from fuel to receptacle) and said 15-25kWh is therefore multiplied by ~3 => 45-65kWh.

Well that “get 4 productive butt wipes per sheet” actually made me laugh out loud and I’m here by self.

Finally we have someone game to say 0 emissions are bullshit! Thank you ACCC and thank you John Phil

Thanks for another interesting video John, from this diesel driving carnivore.

Love the shirt. Best one yet!

Intro to die for John. Thank you.

brilliant and very informative,

South Park did a fantastic episode where most characters in the town started buying hybrid vehicles, the residents of the town quickly ended up suffering from all the toxic "smug".

Recent geological discoveries about previous ice ages say we're about to get boned by rapidly increasing naturally occurring methane from melting ice caps and thawing permafrost no matter what we do about CO2.

Like a great 'strayn' Wine, your really do get better and better with age JC! Bravo! "Take a Proper Gander at these amazing pdf documents..."

There is one crucial fact about EVs that eliminates them as viable transportation. Batteries begin leaking energy as soon as they are charged. They continue to leak energy throughout their use cycle. On the other hand, gasoline does not begin disappearing from your car tank after you fill up.

When the fumes build up the tank releases it into a carbon filter so yeah you do lose a little none of it matters the battery is basically an explosive terrorist device that can be used at any minute just put a small charge on it and drive it into underground parking lot you will demolish the whole building

The classic “never let the facts get in the way of a good story”.

My partner just made a very good comment. Internal combustion engines have emissions whilst driving, zero when not driving. EV’s have zero emissions whilst driving and emissions whilst not driving.

​@@guringaiThere's the small issue of what the EV is doing when it's not driving, (and it's going to spend a lot more time not driving than a conventional vehicle) namely charging. Where does the electricity come from? Well in Australia or comes from coal and gas. Nice. Saving the planet. I'm freaking sure.

Recently I watched a KZread video on dispersing the myths of electric vehicles. After which I left a comment voicing my opinion, and actually included some content remembered from your videos. I then got hit by the EV fanatics. And global warming nuts. Even pointing out I must have been watching you. Just proves your message is getting out there to all and sundry. Shame the politicians don't take any notice. But then they generally are a special sort.

I think the ACCC has realised that they needed to release a green washing guide, as if they just ignored the green washing, they can be placed into a class action law suit by buyers of EV's.

Back in 1972, when journalists asked about the pollution of our EVs, we were always careful to say "it's pollution free at the point of delivery" nothing has changed....

It's not pollution free at the time of delivery. The power stored in its battery at the time of delivery was generated from fossil fuels.

Zero emission cars fit very nicely and have as much chance of happening, as New Zealands goal of zero road deaths.

I had this conversation with a guy at volvo heavy trucks some time back. He defended using the the phrase "Zero Emission" by saying that its an "agreed upon concept " in the EU. I told him that this doesnt make it less of a huge fucking steaming pile. He posted another blerb last week and suddenly "Tailpipe emissions" is used. I dont imagine I had anything to do with that but its a funny coincidence.

Dude, the climate situation isn't a con and John would certainly not say it is (as he has said the opposite). The climate problem is real and we're clearly the ones doing it. He's merely trying to help people see that EVs are not a singular solution to the issue nor are they as green as some people would like to think.

@JT_771 while I appreciate your response, the world is being conned. Many of the models which are used to predict unprecedented weather events are botched in favour of this. For more than 40yrs governments have said we are all going to be dead or living underwater. This entire net zero is a con if you look at the actual figure they are all hopelessly trying to achieve. This so called net zero is creating an environmental disaster at a rapid rate. Nothing about net zero will help the likes of you or I or the environment. It only causes mass unemployment which is happening and prices that force the vast majority into poverty.

ECE then ICE then RCE, great way of looking at it.

they can tax every single person to their last breath. AND THEY STILL WON'T STOP THE SUN FROM BEEN HOT!!!

I'm guessing they're conveniently ignoring the 'Dutch Oven' when making those nonsense claims of zero emissions!

Well said!

I wish for a world where people evolved to not use their beliefs as their first and often only line of reasoning.

I bought an Olight R50 Seeker flashlight (it's a good light, now discontinued) a long time ago and it had a nifty magnetic tail-cap battery charger that uses a included Olight proprietary 26650 Li Ion battery. Fast forward to current, the Olight proprietary 26650 Li Ion battery is now NFG and can't take a charge. Olight don't have any replacements and will not make any more. Of course a good old standard 26650 Li Ion battery gets the flashlight back in service but you lose the ability to charge the battery in the light. Moral of the story - Don't buy in to gimmicks that might compromise the usefulness of the piece of equipment in the future.
