  • Sky News Arabia quotes sources saying that yesterday's large-scale pager attack in Lebanon was possible because the Mossad spy agency got hold of Hezbollah’s communication devices before they were handed over to the terror group.

    The Israeli spy agency placed a quantity of PETN, a highly explosive material, on the batteries of the devices, and detonated them by raising the temperature of the batteries from afar, the source says.
    The Wall Street Journal reported earlier that some Hezbollah members felt their pagers heating up and disposed of them before the series of explosions that killed at least nine and injured about 2,800 people.

    This video appears to be one such case

  • A graveyard of electric green scooters that have run out of battery life

    Since it's very expensive to replace the batteries, electric scooters that have reached the end of battery life cycle are being completely abandoned, also disposing them in any other way would be dangerous and expensive.

  • Electric cars face several financial challenges that impact their widespread adoption and market growth. Here are some of the key financial problems they encounter:

    High Initial Cost: The upfront cost of electric vehicles (EVs) is generally higher than that of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. This is largely due to the expensive battery technology that powers EVs.
    Battery Costs: Although the cost of batteries has been decreasing, they still represent a significant portion of the total cost of an EV. Research and development to improve battery efficiency and reduce costs are ongoing but require substantial investment.
    Infrastructure Investment: Building a widespread and reliable charging infrastructure requires significant financial investment. Governments and private companies need to collaborate to develop charging stations, which can be costly.
    Research and Development: Continuous innovation in battery technology, vehicle design, and software development demands substantial funding. Companies need to invest heavily in R&D to stay competitive and advance EV technology.
    Government Subsidies and Incentives: Many EV manufacturers rely on government subsidies and incentives to make their vehicles more affordable for consumers. The reduction or elimination of these subsidies can negatively impact sales and financial stability.
    Economies of Scale: Traditional automakers have the advantage of economies of scale due to mass production. EV manufacturers, especially new entrants, may struggle to achieve similar cost efficiencies without large-scale production.
    Consumer Perception and Demand: Despite growing interest in EVs, many consumers are still hesitant to switch from ICE vehicles due to concerns about range, charging availability, and resale value. This affects market demand and, consequently, financial performance.
    Competition: The automotive industry is highly competitive, with many established players and new startups entering the EV market. This competition can drive down prices and profit margins, making it challenging for companies to remain financially viable.
    Supply Chain Issues: Sourcing raw materials for batteries, such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel, can be expensive and subject to geopolitical and environmental issues. Supply chain disruptions can increase costs and impact production schedules.
    Regulatory Compliance: Meeting stringent environmental and safety regulations requires continuous investment in compliance measures, which can be financially burdensome, especially for smaller manufacturers.
    Addressing these financial challenges is crucial for the long-term success and sustainability of the electric vehicle industry. Collaboration between governments, manufacturers, and consumers is essential to overcome these hurdles and drive the adoption of electric vehicles.

  • The Future is Here: The First Hydrogen Energy Car.
    This hydrogen car can run all day on full. They are called fuel cell vehicles.

    The only emission from these vehicles is water.
    Several cities around the world have tested fuel cell vehicles, with over 5,600 buses in use worldwide, the majority of which are in China.

    Hydrogen fuel cell buses have a greater range and longer run time than battery electric buses, with a range of around 450 kilometers (280 mi) before refueling compared to around 250 kilometers (160 mi) between charges for a battery electric bus.

    Hydrogen also has a higher energy storage density than batteries and does not rape the environment because it does not contain cobalt or lithium. The only exhaust it emits is water. That's right, just pure H2O.

    Looks like Elon Musk needs to expand his horizons. When this catches on, the Tesla will go the route of the dinosaurs.

  • With US OK, Ukraine Hits Russia's Belgorod in Massive Rocket Attack
    https://www.newsmax.com/world/globaltalk/russia-ukraine-war-kharkiv-biden-missiles/2024/06/02/id/1167133/?ns_mail_uid=6027034f-006f-40ef-b94b-fe4719b97a24&ns_mail_job=DM631659_06022024&s=acs&dkt_nbr=0101027mqpov

    After gaining approval from the Biden administration, Ukraine reportedly used U.S. High-Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) to hit targets in the Russian city of Belgorod, 20 miles north of the Russia-Ukraine border in southern Russia.

    “This is a welcome step that will allow us now to better protect Ukraine and Ukrainians from Russian terror and attempts to expand the war,” Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote right before the attack, Forbes reported.

    The onslaught included potentially dozens of 660-pound rockets, each ranging as far as 57 miles with 50 pounds of high explosives, raining on Belgorod, according to the Forbes report.

    State media claimed air-defense batteries shot down 14 rockets, and there is some evidence of rocket fragments on the ground, Forbes and other reports indicated. It’s unclear how much damage the raid inflicted — and, more to the point, how much damage it inflicted on military targets.

    Other independent military observers confirmed the use of HIMARS.

  • This is a Photo of the Tesla Model Y Lithium Battery.

    This photo below is a Tesla model Y battery. It takes up all of the space under the passenger compartment of the car. To manufacture it you need:

    --12 tons of rock for Lithium (can also be extracted from sea water)
    -- 5 tons of cobalt minerals (Most cobalt is made as a byproduct of processing copper and nickel ores. It is the most difficult and expensive material to obtain for a battery.)
    -- 3 tons nickel ore
    -- 12 tons of copper ore
    You must move 250 tons of soil to obtain:
    -- 26.5 pounds of Lithium
    -- 30 pounds of nickel
    -- 48.5 pounds of manganese
    -- 15 pounds of cobalt
    To manufacture the battery also requires:
    -- 441 pounds of aluminum, steel and/or plastic
    -- 112 pounds of graphite
    The Caterpillar 994A is used to move the earth to obtain the minerals needed for this battery. The Caterpillar consumes 264 gallons of diesel in 12 hours.

    The bulk of necessary minerals for manufacturing the batteries come from China or Africa. Much of the labor in Africa is done by children. When you buy an electric car, China profits most.

    This is the 2021 Tesla Model Y OEM battery (the cheapest Tesla battery) currently for sale on the Internet for $4,999 not including shipping or installation. The battery weighs 1,000 pounds (you can imagine the shipping cost). The cost of Tesla batteries are:

    Model 3 -- $14,000+ (Car MSRP $38,990)
    Model Y -- $5,000–$5,500 (Car MSRP $47,740)
    Model S -- $13,000–$20,000 (Car MSRP $74,990)
    Model X -- $13,000+ (Car MSRP $79,990)

    It takes 7 years for an electric car to reach net-zero CO2. The life expectancy of the battery is 10 years (average). Only in the last 3 years do you start to reduce your carbon footprint, but then the batteries must be replaced and you lose all gains made.

    Let's not forget that if they catch fire, you cannot put the fire out because it burns so hot. The best you can do is get as far away from the fire as you can until it burns itself out.

    But by all means, get an electric car. Just don't sell me on how awesome you are for the environment. Or for human rights.
