Climate Change: We Have The Solution - Lithium Technology For Electric Cars Is Here.


AutoBlogGreen.

  Sebastian Blanco reports on the biggest climate march ever spanning the globe and I continue to discuss with you that lithium technology to save us all is already here.


Electric Cars and Lithium Race: China to take action on Climate Change.


"Now you can see the confirmation of Chinese strategy to combat the air pollution and climate change. Electric cars are made the strategic industry and lithium supply is the matter of state level planning.   Companies like Tesla Motors and Daimler will provide the lithium based technology and local manufacturing base will take it to the masses. Still under the radar screens of a lot of investors, China become the powerhouse for lithium industry starting with lithium materials and moving fast into lithium batteries and electric cars. Read more."

  "Recent world-wide public awareness about the climate change and lithium technology advance demonstrated by Tesla Motors, present to us the unique opportunity to capitalise on this trends advancing the development of lithium supply chain. The largest world auto-market is based now in China. The Chinese Premier has announced the war on pollution and electric cars are at the forefront of this development. Our strategic partnership with Ganfeng Lithium opens the doors for our company to participate in these global development in electrification of our transportation. Read more."

Is it just us, or did something happen at that 2014 United Nations Climate Summit in New York City this week? The largest-ever climate change march took place in the city and the headlines were full of interesting items, from the famous oil family the Rockefellers divesting their charity from fossil fuels toGoogle telling ALEC goodbye over climate change lies. World leaders from wildly different countries gave speeches detailing what they plan to do on the issue of climate change. US president Obama said today that, "the climate is changing faster than our efforts to address it," and said that the US recognizes its role in creating the problem (see a video of his speech below). 
"The climate is changing faster than our efforts to address it." – President Obama 
Now, we know that climate change and automobiles are connected. That's not news. Still, the march and Summit let the Diesel Technology Forum take advantage of the moment to say that diesel vehicles can be a "key solution" in working to minimize climate change. We haven't heard anything specific from any of the major automakers tied in to the Summit, but that's par for the course. Still, there have been numerous announcements and reams of data issued this week. All important, of course, but sometimes doing all this reading about climate change just can't prepare you for seeing it in person.Now, we've seen lots of activists in the streets before and we've seen world leaders and powerful organizations (like, say, the Pentagon) issue dire warnings and promise action, but there's something about the discussion regarding climate change this week that feels different than it has before. So, we ask again, it is just us, or did something just happen? Read more on AutoBlogGreen"

Electric Cars and Lithium Race: China to take action on Climate Change.


  Now you can see the confirmation of Chinese strategy to combat the air pollution and climate change. Electric cars are made the strategic industry and lithium supply is the matter of state level planning. 

  Companies like Tesla Motors and Daimler will provide the lithium based technology and local manufacturing base will take it to the masses. Still under the radar screens of a lot of investors, China become the powerhouse for lithium industry starting with lithium materials and moving fast into lithium batteries and electric cars.

“Ganfeng has an army of lithium-focused geologists who looked at projects in every corner of the planet,” stated ILC president Kirill Klip in an exclusive interview, “but they chose ILC to do business with. This is a big de-risking factor for our current and future shareholders. The Chinese do their homework. They believe in the geology of our assets, our management and our development strategy.” Read more.

Robert Liewellyn: Electric Cars Still Cheaper To Run, No Matter What The BBC Says.

  

  Last week we had even the better joke from "BP TV - former BBC", than the week before from  NATO Super Hit Comedy with "Russian Spies Protecting UK From 100% Safe Fracking":


Hilarious Joke of the week fmr News: Electric cars ‘to cost more to run than petrol vehicles’

NATO: Russian Spies Against "100% Safe Fracking", Two-thirds Of US Shale Oil "Could Be Stolen By Chinese Hackers."



and why it all matters to you:

Peak Oil Is Back! - IEA Write-down Of Two-thirds Of US Shale Oil Explodes Fracking Myth.



  Robert Liewellyn weights in with his take on the "unbiased reporting" from the financed by UK tax payers, but apparently privatised for the Oil Agenda BBC. Please visit The Green Car Website and support this article by sharing it.



The Green Car Website:

Electric cars still cheaper to run, no matter what the BBC says




It’s very hard not to imagine someone sitting at a desk in the BBC news department tapping a chewed ball point pen on their desk as they mutter, ‘there must be another way we can spin an anti-electric car story, there must!’
Well, they obviously had a good day, the latest is a doozie.
Ooh, shocking, click baity and controversial.
To give the BBC due credit they didn’t mention ‘range anxiety’ or ‘battery fires’ once.
For them that’s a big step forward, that’s been a staple for years but because those old chestnuts are now so bogus even the bafflingly anti-electric vehicle BBC news editors must finally have said, ‘Okay, let’s move on.’

Low-cost charging is still the status quo

What they do start with is the introduction of electric car owners having to pay for the use of a few of the public chargers run by Chargemaster and Charge Your Car.
The vast majority of the 7,300 plus charge points across the country are still free to use but let’s not let an annoying little fact like that bog us down.Source London plug-in
If you pay the high fees that Chargemaster and Charge Your Car introduced months ago (I am implying this is hardly news, in fact it’s very old news) then indeed your miles after that charge will cost something close to driving a hydrocarbon burner, if you don’t count servicing costs.
However, at the moment 99 per cent of electric car owners charge their car at home at least 90 per cent of the time. This little fact is buried at the end of the piece and is attributed to Transport Minister Baroness Kramer.
Yes, balance, accuracy, but buried at the end.
Does this indicate bias?
Do the vast majority of people who scroll through BBC news reports just read the headline?
Yes, they do.
I drive my car all over the place and while I do use public chargers and indeed occasionally Chargemasters public chargers, I have yet to pay to use one.
Most of Charge Masters outlets are still free to use.
Fast chargers at motorway services
So this is a bit of a non-story so why would the BBC bother to run it?
It’s not news and the headline is not strictly speaking true.
If you own an electric car you would have to go out of your way to deliberately only use the few chargers that you have to pay for and nothing else, not charge at home and not use any free chargers for this story to have any relevance.
I think it’s a safe bet than very few of the 4-5,000 electric car drivers in the UK would go to the bother.

The real electric car story

So my question is the same as with all the other highly negative stories the BBC has run with on this topic. What editorial decisions have been made to come up with these weird non-stories and who has decided that the BBC cannot possibly be seen to condone the use of electric vehicles?
Chargemaster charge pointI am very well aware of the pressures on the BBC particularly in the news department. The Conservative Party, Rupert Murdoch and the Daily Mail all hate the BBC with a passion and consider it a bastion of left leaning liberalism.
The far left see them as a mouthpiece of the elite, a cultural cosh of oppression and agenda setting who’s sole aim is to maintain the status quo and keep the 1 per cent in total control.
That’s a good thing, the fact that they are annoying both extremes shows they are probably getting it right.
I am also aware that when a casually penned non-story like this sees the light of day, some obsessive nutter too immersed in his subject is going to get shouty, that’s me that is.
I know too much about electric cars, I can see the political spin, the sub text and the ignorance a mile off and it’s not fun.
I’m not suggesting that the BBC should be pro-electric car for some greener-than-thou agenda to annoy the Daily Mail, but a little bit of balance wouldn’t go amiss.
A little bit of research would show that even if you did use paid-for-chargers, which are obviously coming, the total cost of running an electric car is still way below a fossil burner.
But that’s not even the point.
The shift to electric power has far bigger consequences not only in running costs but in the geopolitical and environmental landscape, in notions of car ownership and energy use.
My main argument is that we can make electricity here, we can make it without importing shed loads of non replaceable fuels from the other side of the planet.
We are at the start of a transition, it’s going to be messy, powerful groups are going to get upset, now that is a real story.
