    The lesser of both evils mean that EV car don't bring the pollution to the roads.

     

    Emissions reduction on the cars first, then ships, then power generation....overall this forces power plants and engine makers to all stress on emissions control. After which the power suppliers need to consider renewable energy.

     

    Production of EV cars is another questionable topic but at least it forces the energy production to be cleaner.

     

    the maritime transport industry is actually way ahead on emission reduction measures than most people think.

     

    the earliest measure being implemented was efficient cruising speed by taiwan's evergreen and was subsequently adopted by other liners.

     

    then along came water dynamic hull designs followed by cogas engines.

     

    all these came abt for the need for profitability and efficiency, so who says being environmentally friendly isnt profitable?

    for evs to be 100% non-polluting, the only stable base power source to power them will be nuclear followed by solar energy.

     

    i think the most important issue for evs is the need to overcome the long charging time needed and to upgrade the electricity grid to support the evs coming online.

    Tiongland news already spreading trade deal failed. Tiongs walked away, Trump throwing tantrum like a DKG.

     

    china is now too busy trying to contain their financial malaise now to be concerned by mad-rational Trump's tantrums.

  3. i wonder if anyone really did a full economic environmental impact study on evs??

     

    r evs really environmentally less polluting becos u still need to burn coal/ng/oil to generate the electricity. thus despite cutting down on usage of gasoline on one hand, there is still the increased in power generation. so in the end, the net impact could be negligible or even more carbon emission.

     

    add to this, there is the mining of rare earth which is environmentally contaminating if not mined and processed properly. finally, there is the recycling of depleted rechargeable lithium-ion batteries to think of.

    No 10m population means no need so much power

     

    even with such a population, i dont think so much power is needed.

     

    it just boils down to the incompetency of loong loong's economic policies.

     

    obviously, there was no co-ordination in the responsible ministry and edb or else, how can  supply be double that of demand????

     

    secondly, major user for electricity is industrial and not retail.

     

    wtf sgp build so many power plants when the only new major energy-intensive investment in the past 10 yrs is the micron fab in woodlands while there was only limited capacity expansion in the existing fabs????

  10. i m surprised none in the opposition propose any solution to this problem since this is a potential achilles heels for incompetent loong loong.

     

    allow rich lao tiko me to offer a suggestion.

     

    the crux of the issue is cpf not being able to pay out sufficiently to the contributors, thus, this is signalling a need to revamp investment procedure.

     

    rite now, cpf money is converted into special sgd govt securities which is then used by gic for investment purposes. the interest rate on cpf accounts is based on risk-free instruments. ie sgd govvies. as a result, the returns from such investment is way below sgx market returns over the 5/10 or even the 30 yrs horizon.

     

    so my suggestion is simple, let cpf fund be managed directly by a panel of decent investment specialists and the interest rate be combination of a fixed component based on sgd govvies and a floating component based on yearly market returns generated.

     

    i welcome any govt detractors to question my suggestion.

    Got real economic expert also will be in the outside world and will nv enter politics.

     

     

    You think those good economic expert want to be Hillary staff death is like final destination.

     

     

    And you look at trump you know already. Everything also dig, even no proof like the recent case also can have closed door impleach and those Whistblower proof is more trusted then the direct whole sauce.

     

     

    I fear for the future gen that freedom is dying

     

    i rather use my time speculating on the financial market.

     

    mad-rational Trump is obviously trying to bait the democrats to start an impeachment proceeding against him becos there r no smoking guns that can do him in and the democrats r dumb enough to fall for it.

     

    he is walking a fine line and to convince the majority that he is guilty will get a convincing rebuttal on how abt bidens' dealings with foreign govt-linked funds. a historical precedent similar to the current situation will be andrew jackson. it will be very hard to prove that mad-rational Trump is only acting in his own political interests when the fact remains that biden's son was involved with a chinese state fund and a corrupt ukranian oil venture. so no matter how the democrats try to white-wash the bidens, there is always the perceived conflict of interest.

     

    thats why the impeachment is not getting traction in the american public and many democrat senators/reps r not enthusiastic since many of them will be up for re-election next yr.
