EV's are an impossible dream. This is from an excellent article on manhattancontrarian.com today. btw these numbers exclude the rare earths needed to make the magnets in the electric motors. It is estimated that current battery manufacturing capabilities will need to be in the order of 500-700 times bigger than now to support an all-electric global transport system. The materials needed just to allow the UK to transition to all electric transport involve amounts of materials equal to 200% the annual global production of cobalt, 75% of lithium carbonate, 100% of neodymium and 50% of copper. Scaling by a factor of 50 for the world transport, and you see what is now a showstopper. The materials demands just for batteries are beyond known reserves.

I didn't have to pay The devout minds at The Australian have launched a campaign to canonise Ferrari Australasia’s former CEO, Herbert Appleroth. It’s a miracle. It’s not the conventional path to sainthood. Appleroth was sacked last October over an affair he had with a junior employee. He filed an unfair dismissal suit for $3 million on May 15, with a statement of claim packed with names and details. This included how the affair ended in late 2017 around the time the employee fell pregnant, and her subsequent workers compensation claim that he tried to talk her into an abortion.

Eamon Gallagher Appleroth’s action was never served on Ferrari – after The Australian Financial Review's David Marin-Guzman requested access to the court file, Appleroth abruptly dropped the lawsuit on May 27 and applied for an order to keep the court documents confidential. On Tuesday, June 2, Justice John Snaden denied Appleroth’s confidentiality application, after arguments by Nine’s Fairfax Media Publications, but ordered the registry not to release the documents until late Thursday. Appleroth’s lawyers had asked for time to consider an appeal, such was their client’s aversion to publicity.

The Oz doubled down with another story naming “two more Ferrari executives” who had sex with junior employees, then a weekend piece which blamed the whole blow up on another woman. It certainly wasn’t Appleroth’s fault. All this while Rebekah Giles, Appleroth’s reputational risk lawyer, was telling the Oz her client had dropped the case “to put his family’s privacy ahead of seeking justice from his former employer”. An immaculate misconception.
