Stuff you might want to know
« on: August 19, 2023, 10:24:20 am »
20K to buy a E taxi .Why ?I was out last night drinking Red Wine no porter cos I am on a diet .Talking to a Girl who will be a Candidate for the Cabbages in the next Local elections and she was saying there is a reason we are getting the Largess of the Government by way of Grants .If the Greens Control the Next Council they intend to bring in a Clean Air Zone for Dublin City this will be between the canals and from Kilmainham to the sea .They will impose a DAILY charge on Vehicles entering the Zone .but only dirty Diesels or older petrol cars .They will introduce a payment on ALL Public Transport Vehicles Including Dublin Bus and Taxis .She says that Grants are made available to Bus companies and TAXI drivers to change their vehicles .I asked for a time frame she said .If they get back into power on DCC they would expect to pass the Legislation in the next term with a possible date for introduction in about 2027.she said they are looking at the Bradford model .Watch out for a lot of new reports on Airquality .There are a few PHD students in Trinity writing papers on the effect of Diesel Particulates and Autism .I asked about WATs and her answer was they make them in EVs dont they .I asked her about the Greens ageist policies of blocking roads and introducing bike Lanes that older people cannot cycle due to their age .Her reply was and I kid you not ."So what Older People dont vote Green "Might be worth noting the possible introduction of a Smog free Zone and a charge before we splash out on your next 9 year investment .

Our Grants are way Higher than theres to change vehicle .Interesting reading !


There seems to be a lot of info in here about charges and stuff and If the Cabbages are thinking along these lines it could get costly not to go EV .

Dunlaoghaire Borough is starting to look third world with weeds being allowed to grow everywhere, around footpaths, through footpaths, up poles, around safety barriers, everywhere.
Trump has called for help, so I'm on a plane heading for The Strait of Hormuz, talk soon.

Would they cry foul if someone burned the stubble?
