Im glad Ive got an EV. The outlook for petrol and diesel could well become significantly worse. In this interview, Peter Carlin discusses the rapidly deteriorating global energy situation and its potential consequences for the world economy and financial markets. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PBp...

a fitting award

Here's another colourised Homicide short - featuring Norman Yemm as the bad guy and shot on full film in the Cathedral Ranges area. Norman Yemm later played Detective Jim Patterson. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-2p...

It's nothing. Only a net extra $1.36 trillion of borrowings over 6 months. Trump's wars are expensive. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jZ6...

Buckle up. And its all Trumps fault. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oDA...

If you think that the USA is in a good position with the Iran war - Then that viewpoint is a grave mistake Iran has caused surgical strikes causing massive destruction of vital US bases. US running out of vital munitions & incapable of replenishment. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUGE...

Many entitled people think that the world isn't going to change. That is a very bad miscalculation. www.youtube.com/shorts/tm4ug...

This guy certainly gets around using his seniors card www.youtube.com/watch?v=oihu...

This is especially dangerous. The mood swings of a demented old man holding the global financial system hostage. But tragically, that is exactly where things are at. www.theage.com.au/business/mar...

People are incredibly stupid. Future oil chokepoint fuel crunches are an inevitability. The recent oil spike was just an entree. Let's see what happens to the volume of delivered goods when diesel climbs above $4 per litre. That is closer to the main course.

This is pretty much on the money. Australia closed all the tech schools - then created a massive shortage of tradies. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDhl...

For all the EV haters out there - the game just changed - The new 13kg 1000 horsepower Yasa EV motor. One 1000 HP electric car motor could comfortably fit into a schoolkid's backpack. Despite the Luddites, it seems that we are quite deeply into the 21st century now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2Hl...

The quagmire is going to become significantly deeper. Im glad I dont have anything petrol or diesel powered. www.youtube.com/watch?v=acMb...

The Trump lies unpicked www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX28...

From - Kiwi EV adventures on FB. What happens in NZ will also happen in Australia. Makes the high levels of EV depreciation arguments from the haters look pretty thin.

The No Kings protests erupt www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwTG...

The Houthis have just entered the war. They control a second chokepoint - Bab al Mandeb. If blocked as well as Hormuz, expect petrol/diesel prices to go up even more. Maybe an extra $1 per litre on top of what we already have. edition.cnn.com/2026/03/28/w...

The news from the (Israeli) streets - Cutting through all the Trump lies about the war. And there seems to be plenty of lies - as usual. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8a05...

Being sent into an unnecessary war by a draft dodger is the height of tragedy. - That's the post.

Just completed a relaxed, low-cost Saturday drive in my EV, now charging at home. Warrandyte—a popular Melbourne day-trip spot—remains bustling despite petrol at $2.59/L, with full carparks and busy restaurants. Will it remain that way if another oil chokepoint gets blocked?

The hard facts of the matter are that Petrol has always been heading for a structural decline—an economic death spiral. You can slice the data and the history any way you like, but serious analysis of geopolitics, industry supply chains, religious dynamics, and military strategy all point

Petrol is now a geopolitically enabled tool of religious & military oppression. Global parity pricing means Australian oil is not a solution. Electric vehicles are an obvious and very viable exit ramp. Suggesting Aust oil is an answer is to grievously mislead. www.9news.com.au/world/iran-s...

Get used to petrol at $2.40 per litre or more—it could soon become the "discount" price. Or switch to an EV instead. At BYD Ringwood today I asked if sales have surged due to the war, the salesman said they've seen a lot of new business. A decent crowd was there browsing EVs, chatting with staff.

there are a lot of ignorant tragics in Australia

What have Australian taxpayers actually gained from subsidising fossil fuels—aside from recurring petrol shortages?

The perfect petrol crisis vehicle - Aptera. So how does fuel economy of 0.74 litres per 100 km sound ? Australia needs Aptera - It could possibly be manufactured here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jZU...

While Trump remains obsessed with oil & oil wars—others are demonstrating the path forward. Many BEV enthusiasts dismiss hydrogen outright, but as an EV owner myself, I've long believed H2 has a valuable role in specific applications, like this H2 freight locomotive www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr6Z....

So China - the biggest EV manufacturer on the planet - Is kicking the Middle Eastern war juice habit. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

And : 1. solar is chokepoint free. 2. you dont have to suffer fuel price increases.

The Iran invasion by Trump will go down as one of the worst strategic blunders of all time. But that's how it rolls when you elect a 6-time bankrupt suffering from dementia. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6flB...

What Professor Robert Pape says about the Iran Middle East war www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcXf...

If Trump doesnt involve the US navy to open the strait of Hormuz - he risks a global recession (financial crash). But he does - he risks US ships being hit by an Iranian Sizzler missile. Sizzlers are Hypersonic, Cant be stopped - Mach 2.9 on their final trajectory. edition.cnn.com/2026/03/09/b...

It probably isnt going to go the way that Trump says www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYJr...

An excellent explanation of why we could be only days away from skyrocketing petrol prices. (This is an investment commentator - but he presents a very good explanation of where things actually are) www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ63...

How Renewables and EV haters roll

Every litre of petrol or diesel carries a war premium — a cost shaped by global conflicts and supply instability. There is no upper limit to how high that premium can go. Electric vehicles (EVs), by contrast, have a war premium of zero.

America doesn't usually win wars anyway, except in Hollywood. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XO4u...

Buckle up
