Electric vehicles will be going for 1000km per charge with the next few years. The switch toward EV will hit Singapore like a tsunami. The entire car industry, including LTA and PAP, is still slumbering.
What about high dependency on USA? Better option?
well said.
Oh, it's not Europe's own sanction of Russia that caused the energy crisis? Right, blame others for your own stupidity is definitely a better way than taking responsibility. It is not as if Russia cut supply to force Europe to their terms but on the contrary they are willing to sell to Europe regardless whether you take their side or not!! ππ
Sure, US/ EU sanctions had nothing to do with it. Paid-off clown.
Catalytic Pyrolysis of Plastic Waste: Moving Toward Pyrolysis Based Biorefineries. You mean to tell me Europe can't find any waste plastics to convert into fuels. Billions of tons of plastic waste in the world and Europe can't find any to convert into fuel? That's freaking crazy the Russians stole all of the scrap plastic in the world so Europe couldn't make fuel? Plastic waste generated annually per person varies from 221 kg in the United States and 114 kg in European OECD countries to 69 kg, on average, for Japan and Korea? How many Europeans are there times 114 kg plastic waste per year per person average and there is no plastic waste to process into fuels?
Russia asked for peace talks. Norris Johnson flew into Ukraine to continue the war. European countries are making decisions that are absolutely strange. Energy = economy. Why would you provoke war with Russia? Please explain.

23rd October, 2022 Emmanuel Macron Slams US For Selling Gas At 4 times Prices; Calls It 'double Standard'
As Europe reeled under a severe energy crisis, French President Emmanuel Macron slammed the United States for selling gas for more than 3-4 times higher than the domestic rates. Calling the practice a "double standard", Macron said the US-made policies "left Europe with no option other than paying the demanded price". The critical remarks from Paris came as the country has been witnessing an abrupt surge of gas prices ever since the two countries– Russia and Ukraine– indulged in a full-fledged war. Moreover, Macron has been facing tough responses from his citizens, who have been demanding a respite from the increasing energy prices. Besides, workers in French oil refineries TotalEnergies and ExxonMobil have also been staging a protest for more than two weeks.
While addressing a press conference following the EU summit in Brussels, Macron said, "American gas is 3-4 times cheaper on the domestic market than the price at which they offer it to Europeans. These are double standards." According to a report by OilPrice.com, US natural gas exports to France increased 421% during the first eight months of this year. On the other hand, LNG prices increased by 1094% in August alone. Further, President Macron said he would raise the issue during his upcoming visit to the US this December.
