The OP wanted a complete stop of production of fossil fuels a decade ago. That is a completely different statement than we need to curb fossil fuel use.

Assume people that who said “we need to stop producing fossil fuels a decade ago” really ment we need to do more to end fossil fuels usage in the next decade?
I don’t assume all climate activists have the moronic opnion that we need to transition to shit tech, just the ones who say we need to be off fissile fuels a decade ago.
Grid wise with nuclear we have the capability of not using fossil fuels. Transportation wise we are decdades away before we have the capability.
We don’t have a means to replace energy needs today and we were even further away a decade ago.
It’s crazy to think those are the only choices.
Kinda dumb to call for the end of fossil fuels a decade ago.
When someone calls for ending something last decade it required immediate action now.
What’s your plan to keep society functioning with the immediate end of fossil fuels?
Who owned the ship? Don’t insult my intelligence and say Liberia.
I don’t need to insult your intelligence you’re more than capable. The ship was not owned by an Israeli or American company.
This isn’t everything. It’s an intentional racist term intended to delegitimize a government by equating it with a select group of people. There. You learned something today.
A group named after its founder is racists?
Or should I start calling every Israeli a Netanyahu, every American a Kennedy, and every British person a Starmer?
You can call it what ever you want, I’m not so hypersensitive that I cry racism about every little thing.
As in goods going to Jeddah would ultimately get shipped to Iseral? I have no idea if Saudi Arabia is being used as a pass through.
Owned in Liberia’
I like how you stuck that in the middle. Just trying to sneak it in a bunch of other stuff that is unquestionable.
What’s wrong with owning a ship in Liberia?
It’s obvious what you are doing, and why.
Gave an example where the Houthis attacked and killed people on a ship that had nothing to do with Israel.
I guess I shouldn’t expect better from someone using the racist term ‘Houthis’ for the government of Yemen.
When you cry racism about every thing is loses meaning.
What does attacking cargo ships, flagged from Barbados, crewed by Filipinos, owned in Liberia, operated out of Greece, originating from China, and destined to Jeddah and Aqaba have to do with Israel?
What enemy nation are the Houthis at war with?
I actually held an FIA license, though not a Super license for a hand full of years. Let it lapse.
So you don’t know about the requirements for a superlicense, that was all ready evident.
Logic. You don’t spend money on a hundred million dollar car so a rookie can put it into a wall without the ability to make hundreds of millions more in return.
So no evidence to support that claim, add to that the young drivers tests since they were enacted have used the the car from the season that just ended.
You’d be amazed what little difference that makes. Used to know a guy that raced a Formula Ford and a CanAm car on a race weekend. He switched between them like there was no difference
So you heard from a friend … Guess we know why your racing career didn’t progress, you can’t feel the difference in a huge power increase.
You should read up on super license requirements, they are renewed annually drivers need 100km in an F1 car in a practice session. Further all qualifications expire after 3 years so all drivers need practice laps to renew their license.
These rookies will not be driving the current iteration of a F1 car.
Do you have a source for that? The young drivers test, which this is replacing, teams used the current car.
But, the difference between an F2 car and last year’s iteration of a F1 car is not that great, except perhaps the braking.
Except for 40% more HP, tons more downforce, F1 cars are 10 seconds faster on just about any f1 circuit many circuits it’s 20 seconds.
Hell, I really don’t care if they run them, I’m just calling it what it is - a gimmick
You clearly do as evidence by your responses. Is it a gimmick when they run the young drivers test?
They get a Super license through F2.
Yes they can earn a license through F2, but if they are a champion they can’t come back.
A driver who has held a valid super licence for any of the previous three seasons is eligible for a new licence if they have completed 100 km in a free practice session in the last 3 years
I haven’t seen a problem with the rookies who have started in F1, have you? Bearman, Colapinto, have all done pretty well in full F1 races without further F1 car experience. And let’s not forget all those guys on the grid that came in to the sport without any big F1 car experience and have done just fine.
Because of such limited opportunities only a few drivers even get a chance to drive an F1 car. Why are you so against more drivers getting opportunities to prove themselves.
What currently happens is back up drivers get one P1 session a season and some test laps. Sims, F2, and F3 cars are not the same as driving a real F1 car, that’s why none of those can be used for the 100km f1 driving requirement (testing doesn’t count either) for a super license.
Giving rookies and reserve drivers an opportunity to race in an F1 car is not a gimmick.
You can’t just cut and paste progress forward. Battery technology is still two or three decades away from being able to fully replace fossil fuel use. Lithium batteries are not the answer there’s just not enough lithium and it can’t be refined fast enough. Even completely replacing fossil fuel electricity generation would take three decades and there’s no technological hurdles, it’s just scaling manufacturing and construction resources to build that many plants. The scale of these efforts is hard to grasp.
