@@bourbonslurpeeTBF, I’ve been in industry for 40 years and the only cable covers I’ve seen secured have been long term covers. Cable covers used by maintenance staff for temporary use are grippy, heavy and very flexible but not secured. I’m absolutely no fan of the forced EV brigade but at least they did what they could. Some of the cable webs I’ve seen, here in the uk, look more like traps 🪤
It's NOT illegal to charge your car. It's illegal to create a public hazard. I used to work night shift, low level street lights and cables on footpaths don't mix.
Completely agree, and that fix they used is not installed properly. It has holes in it for a reason. it's meant to be fixed in place with concrete screws! I've had neuropathy in my legs for years, and on a bad day, that cover would send me arse over... particularly if it were not there all the time or only in the dark. We also have someone with Huntington's Disease in the house. They can't lift their legs very well, and that would be incredibly dangerous.
@@xr6ladBut if it is covered with a clearly marked trip hazard covering like the one shown in the video. Is it anymore of a risk than say, a curb? The covering was black and yellow, two high contrasting colours. Something that would be easily seen on any step... I think it's fine? This, in contrast to just having cabling lying across the pavement where it could actually catch on your ankle and cause you to trip. I think having a cable cover to stop the trip hazard is a reasonable solution if there isn't an alternative avalible.
@@Ben31337lNOPE, cable covers are intended as temporary installations and NOT suitable for low lighting environments such as a suburban footpath. Worksite OHS regulations stipulate that cables must be suspended over the work area and for good reason.

About 40 odd years ago (I’m Now 58) I remember (I was in my early teens) my great grandma tripping over an uneven pavement (one slab was slightly higher than another) in Dandenong, Victoria and broke a collar bone. (These days you’d sue). While that didn’t kill her it set in motion the events that eventually did (declined from that time on and never really recovered). I see this ‘cover’ as something no different - an obstacle people don’t expect. Specially at night.
It's a scam and a cult of virtue signaling idiots that think driving around a stupid EV is going to "save the planet" (a solution for a problem that doesn't exist).
And that works out well for them. They get rid of a good car, buy one that has produced more toxic waste in it's production, then charge it with power that mostly comes from a coal or gas fired power station. And the worry about h0ow far they can go on a charge and how long it will take to recharge to get home, plus the added value of something that will depreciate at an unheard of rate
Must who BUY one do so to show their family, friends, colleagues and neighbors just how woke and planet loving they are...it's mostly moral grandstanding. The more smart ones lease an EV so they don't have the problem of tiny residual value, and they can charge during the day at their office place or have a private charger.

It's cool in South Texas because the hurricane passed by. The weather shakes-off excess heat with storms. Storms are a built-in feedback mechanism that humans aren't altering - the climate properties that form storms aren't altering the buikt-in safety mechanisms. Plus, most houses have a/c anyway.

I suspect that there is going to be major issues weather wise in many places and humans are likely complicit in it but this EV/renewable nonsense won't change it imo.

Just ask the loons how much co2 is in the air we breathe and what will happen should we reduce that gas below .025% of the atmosphere, their answers we shake your confidence in the intelligence of humanity.
I heard that the Lotus crashed specifically because of something to do with the electric drive train and the way the motors work with the software. The Robb Report noted: " “It’s a computer software issue this one,” the commentator said during the livestream. “It isn’t driver error. Something has happened with the power going to the individual wheels that has spat him off there.”
The UK Labour Govt have not just stopped new drilling for oil, but have also announced a £7billion investment in 'green' Energy. The problem for the 'green' energy companies was that they could not attract private investment because the schemes are, um, a little bit dodgy - so the UK govt is now going to fund them. Go and buy your candles now! Power shortages ahead.
@flower-ss2jt When you look at the financial models of all the 'green energy' there is something that is very noticeable by its absence. Big banks don't feature. That should sound alarm bells for everyone. If the banks aren't involved, it means that they don't see a viable future and/or that it is too risky such that they can't make a profit. That should tell us everything. If all this green stuff was as good as it claims, everyone, including banks, would be all over it like a rash and governments wouldn't need to fund it. The fact that government is funding it means that government wants to impose it on us for no viable reason other than being lobbied by people who have invested in the 'green' industry and are determined not to make a loss. In other words, the 'green movement' wants to socialise the losses to the rest off us.
@@gppsoftware What you posted is 100% true - if no private investor is interested in a scheme it is because the scheme is a money loser. The finacially uneducated are unable to understand this, but do not care as they are not looking for funding for a technology, but an ideology - which is a 'total control' ideology!
You gotta laugh really.....Our dear mother earth keeps producing oil as part of a natural process....and has never faced such dangerously low CO2 levels in the atmosphere her whole life. This upside down clown world is surely about to crumble. Much love mguy
Well! In actuality, Mother Earth came very close to dying several hundred thousand years ago when CO2 levels dropped to @ 150ppm naturally, not man made 😏, but thankfully the climate changed 😂, not because of the Industrial Revolution 😏, naturally.
Correct. The man made contribution to CO2 is a help to the planet’s health. The satellite data shows significant greening especially in arid regions because added CO2 reduces plants need for water. So, the greening is occurring in the most needful regions like the Sahara Desert.
They have no experience with real cars so they compare their battery toys with public transport, and then I can understand that an electric car can be better.

What these self centred people do not understand is it’s not just ‘them’. If the council allow this then you’ll have 25 others along the street doing exactly the same and then there are trip hazards all along and you won’t stop it. Give the rising cost of insurance and liability as it is, council do not want massive legal actions by people tripping because they allowed one person that’s become an entire street doing it.
24h lemans race would be fun with BEVs. They must also charge them "at home" with a wallbox and solar power. (so every time it's empty, just put it on a flat bed, recharge it and put it back on the track where you took it off) I want to see how achieves the most kilometers.
Oil is a natural resource that’s forms part of the carbon cycle. No different from the water cycle. It’s powered by our sun and will never be used up. It’s a myth that oil will run out, they want us to think that to increase the price and limit supply. Oil is earths gift to humanity, it’s natural
Isn't the fan noise a nuisance under the law? The nuisance originated with arrival of the charging company. The residents didn't move to the area where the nuisance already existed. So the residents should have a cause of action against the charging company. Correct? Good luck getting relief in CommieFornia, though.
@@kylereese4822 Yes. So what's your point? Those don't stay on 24/7. They shut down when the radiator cools sufficiently. The fans mentioned in this video are running constantly, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. And they make much much more noise than a small radiator fan(s).
There's already videos on youtube shorts of that happening. I believe the caption said that the stupid EV battery only lasts like 2 hours so they can hardly do any work all day and have to run the deisel charger all the time. Beyond idiotic.

Australia did, in fact, "bribe" car manufacturers to produce petrol cars in the name of employment. Mitsubishi took $400m in its last 2 years of manufacturing existence here. Like Ford and Holden then, and EV makers now, they were supplying a product no-one wanted, could not afford and/or were economically unviable without subsidies. Now remind me how that panned out for Aussie car makers?

There also is a EV grounding issue because of street charging. Someone could touch charging EV and grounded falicity, and get electrocuted (the same as you could touching changing phone and water pipes).
Simon in the town I live in we have had three new garages built since covid And I keep saying if we are going electric why are we still building petrol stations
I hadn't seen anything about the grants to the auto companies. This is disgusting, $113,333 per person for the 15000 workers. If you just consider the 2900 new workers, it's $586,000 per person We need to get back to real capitalism, without the government distorting everything. If a company isn't competitive, let someone else replace them. Bailing them out with taxpayer funds just rewards bad, inefficient companies. I feel the same way about all the banks that were bailed out for doing speculation in the markets. There should be no such thing as to big to fail.
Here's one for ya. They installed a charging station at the resort I work at. Its attached to the building about 3 feet from the gas main. Is that brilliant or what.
From UK, Totally agree with that law, if everyone was allowed to put cables across pavements or walkways it would result in many injuries. Several years ago in Wales, I actually saw a cable from a house running across a single track road! In reality, in the UK if we do not use North Sea oil or our own coal, we will have to import more for many years to meet our requirement. People need to live in reality, electric is not the future answer.🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴
After the initial power grid coverage across the country, Electrify America started out modestly with the electric chair, only to culminate in seating people in an electric tin can to transport them in a less than electrifying style.
In my line of work, we often have to stretch cables across a footpath. In order to do this, we need to take multiple precautions such as bollards, bump conduits AND have to make it perfectly clear that it's only temporary. A few hours ar best. And the cables we run are not even live for the most part (they are welding cables which hold a high current for 1.5 seconds at a time). If these idiots think a thin piece of rubber covering something with up to a contant 20amps, on a public thoroughfare is safe, they need a reality check. If they are allowed to do this, I'm installing a 2000 litre petrol tank on my nature strip so I can refuel my car.
Pavements are public not private.

.. and the merry-go-round of narcissistic stupidity goes round and round.
These people think they are buying cars but they are more like iPhones or electric drills. Short service life, throw away items.
IDK man, most trade drills can be serviced if the motors wear out, and the batteries are easy to change
When you say ‘short service life’ what do you mean? An iPhone has a service life of maybe 2 years. An EV you are looking at 15-20 years.
Dear cultists, CO2 is not a pollutant. - It is the Gas of Life❤
Just ask a plant!

They are a death cult.
Just ask the loons how much co2 is in the air we breathe and what will happen should we reduce that gas below .025% of the atmosphere, their answers we shake your confidence in the intelligence of humanity.
Yep they like to confuse co with co2

I heard that the Lotus crashed specifically because of something to do with the electric drive train and the way the motors work with the software. The Robb Report noted: " “It’s a computer software issue this one,” the commentator said during the livestream. “It isn’t driver error. Something has happened with the power going to the individual wheels that has spat him off there.”
Gives a new twist to having a software crash.
It looked to me like the car immediately hooked right like one of the wheel motors wasn't getting power.

Indeed there is and it’s renewable.
Peak oil is not just a myth it’s a lie.
11:20 I have ZERO empathy for these residents. They are reeping exactly what they voted for!!!
The UK Labour Govt have not just stopped new drilling for oil, but have also announced a £7billion investment in 'green' Energy. The problem for the 'green' energy companies was that they could not attract private investment because the schemes are, um, a little bit dodgy - so the UK govt is now going to fund them.
Go and buy your candles now! Power shortages ahead.
@flower-ss2jt When you look at the financial models of all the 'green energy' there is something that is very noticeable by its absence. Big banks don't feature. That should sound alarm bells for everyone. If the banks aren't involved, it means that they don't see a viable future and/or that it is too risky such that they can't make a profit. That should tell us everything. If all this green stuff was as good as it claims, everyone, including banks, would be all over it like a rash and governments wouldn't need to fund it. The fact that government is funding it means that government wants to impose it on us for no viable reason other than being lobbied by people who have invested in the 'green' industry and are determined not to make a loss. In other words, the 'green movement' wants to socialise the losses to the rest off us.
@@gppsoftware What you posted is 100% true - if no private investor is interested in a scheme it is because the scheme is a money loser. The finacially uneducated are unable to understand this, but do not care as they are not looking for funding for a technology, but an ideology - which is a 'total control' ideology!

You gotta laugh really.....Our dear mother earth keeps producing oil as part of a natural process....and has never faced such dangerously low CO2 levels in the atmosphere her whole life. This upside down clown world is surely about to crumble. Much love mguy
Well! In actuality, Mother Earth came very close to dying several hundred thousand years ago when CO2 levels dropped to @ 150ppm naturally, not man made 😏, but thankfully the climate changed 😂, not because of the Industrial Revolution 😏, naturally.
Correct. The man made contribution to CO2 is a help to the planet’s health. The satellite data shows significant greening especially in arid regions because added CO2 reduces plants need for water. So, the greening is occurring in the most needful regions like the Sahara Desert.

What these self centred people do not understand is it’s not just ‘them’. If the council allow this then you’ll have 25 others along the street doing exactly the same and then there are trip hazards all along and you won’t stop it.

Isn't the fan noise a nuisance under the law? The nuisance originated with arrival of the charging company. The residents didn't move to the area where the nuisance already existed. So the residents should have a cause of action against the charging company. Correct? Good luck getting relief in CommieFornia, though.
Play your music a bit too loud and suddenly you're surrounded by SWAT teams, but a loud cooling fan for EVs, nah, they don't hear anything.
Did you know ICE cars, vans etc have electric cooling fans that stay on after the engine shut down....
@@kylereese4822 Yes. So what's your point? Those don't stay on 24/7. They shut down when the radiator cools sufficiently. The fans mentioned in this video are running constantly, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. And they make much much more noise than a small radiator fan(s).

Australia did, in fact, "bribe" car manufacturers to produce petrol cars in the name of employment. Mitsubishi took $400m in its last 2 years of manufacturing existence here. Like Ford and Holden then, and EV makers now, they were supplying a product no-one wanted, could not afford and/or were economically unviable without subsidies. Now remind me how that panned out for Aussie car makers?

From UK, Totally agree with that law, if everyone was allowed to put cables across pavements or walkways it would result in many injuries. Several years ago in Wales, I actually saw a cable from a house running across a single track road! In reality, in the UK if we do not use North Sea oil or our own coal, we will have to import more for many years to meet our requirement.

Ermmmm there all types of electrical equipment in homes, garages..... or do you live in a cave.
In my line of work, we often have to stretch cables across a footpath.
In order to do this, we need to take multiple precautions such as bollards, bump conduits AND have to make it perfectly clear that it's only temporary. A few hours ar best.
And the cables we run are not even live for the most part (they are welding cables which hold a high current for 1.5 seconds at a time).
If these idiots think a thin piece of rubber covering something with up to a contant 20amps, on a public thoroughfare is safe, they need a reality check.
