Nobody wants used EVs. They’re impossible to sell second-hand. The batteries don’t last. The entire EV market is collapsing. Well, somebody had better tell the nearly 300,000 people who’ve bought a used EV already this year. The latest figures from the SMMT are in, and they’re rather inconvenient for the anti-EV crowd. ⚡ 97,625 used EVs sold in Q3 2026, up 23.2% compared with last year. ⚡ 295,524 used EVs sold so far this year, an incredible increase of 39.6%. ⚡ Almost 1 in 20 used cars sold is now fully electric, up from 3.9% to 4.8% of the market. But I thought nobody wanted them? 🤔 Here’s what’s actually happening. As more electric cars enter the used market, prices are becoming more affordable, there’s more choice, and more people are discovering the benefits of driving electric. And remember, nobody is forcing people to buy used electric cars. These are people choosing to spend their own money on an EV because they want one. Petrol and diesel cars still dominate the used market, but electric cars are gaining ground quickly. This is exactly how the transition was always going to work. New EV sales create a supply of used EVs, used prices become more accessible, and more people make the switch. The numbers will only keep increasing.

“My body can be doing nothing while my head is trying to handle everything.” That’s cognitive overload.

🚨 DO NOT BUY AN ELECTRIC CAR! 🚨 Winter is coming 🥶❄️ This will be my 8th winter driving an electric car, and I can honestly say they’re absolutely terrible. They make you lazy, spoil you and generally teach you that life is far too easy. For example… You don’t have to get up early, go outside in the freezing cold and start your engine to warm the car up. Teaching you that you shouldn’t have to make an effort. You don’t get the satisfaction of scraping ice off your windscreen for 10 minutes while your fingers slowly lose all feeling. Teaching you that hard work isn’t necessary. You don’t even get to sit shivering in a freezing car waiting for the heaters to warm up. Teaching you that you should be comfortable all the time. Instead, you just press a button on your phone while you’re still in bed, and by the time you get outside, the car is warm, the windows are defrosted and the seats are heated. Teaching you that everything should be handed to you on a plate. And it gets worse. You don’t even have to visit a petrol station on a freezing winter morning. You just plug it in at home, go to bed and wake up with a charged car. Teaching you that convenience is easy to find and makes you unappreciative. You can charge overnight for pennies compared with filling up a petrol or diesel car. Teaching you that you don’t have to work hard just to afford things. I am certain this eighth winter will be the one to finally finish me off. So please, whatever you do, DON’T BUY AN EV. Keep buying petrol and diesel cars. Keep telling everyone electric cars are rubbish. We don’t need you discovering how good they actually are and ruining it for the rest of us.

Ford calls students protesting OSAP cuts “naive,” compares them to “sheep” and says they should THANK his government? These young people are fighting for affordable education, @fordnation . Stop insulting their intelligence & defend your decisions. The arrogance is staggering!

Whistleblowers report the U.S. CLOUD Act gives Trump the legal mechanism to access data stored inside Ontario data centres if those facilities are owned/operated by U.S.-headquartered tech giants. Once again, @fordnation is selling Ontarians to TRUMP! #onpoli

In Budget 2026, we’re laying out a path to end homelessness within the next decade — backed by nearly $30 billion to bring help, housing, and health care together. Because in Canada, we take care of each other.

WOW @fordnation is not only deeply corrupt he's a TERRIBLE premier who really should be fired. Doug Ford is SO BAD at his job its almost like he did this all ON PURPOSE to weaken us, make us vulnerable. Hmmm🤔 #DougFordIsMAGA 🔥

The trouble with small nuclear reactors. SMRs are a colossal waste of time — a distraction from cheaper, more efficient technologies. The huge costs involved are unrealistic. And many designs rely on fuel from hostile or rival states. In 2021, one SMR developer backed by Amazon, X-Energy, said that its demonstration project would cost around $2.5bn, a figure that rose to almost $6bn in 2023. X-Energy declined to provide updated estimates but warned in June of continued “price increases from our suppliers”. ft.com/content/da1af660-c1d0…

What is Trump pushing economically above everything else? Where will the Kosher Nostra make its next investments? AI Data Farms are next. What do AI Data Farms need more than cooling capacity and an electrical grid to power a small city? They need cybersecurity. Who has the most cybersecurity startups and leads the world in cybersecurity? That's right. It's Israel. Might as well face it: the U.S. government is married to the ruthlessness of the Israelis.

Another #renewable first for Scotland. Cars are now being charged by the power of the ocean. We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #ClimateCrisis #Climate #energy #renewableenergy #greennewdeal

Ohio Republican Jon Husted: People living in poverty are just not very... um... experienced at navigating the real world

Qatar told them this as well months ago...reiterated it again at ADIPEC > ExxonMobil warns EU law could force exit from Europe U.S. energy giant ExxonMobil will not be able to continue doing business in the European Union if the bloc does not significantly loosen a sustainability law that could impose fines of 5% of global revenue, Chief Executive Darren Woods said on Monday. Woods joins a growing number of energy producers urging European lawmakers to revise the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, which requires companies doing business in the EU to identify and address human rights and environmental risks across their supply chains. "What's astounding to me is the overreach not only requires us to do that for the business that we're doing in Europe, but it would require me to do that for all my business around the world, irrespective of whether it touches Europe or not," he said. Speaking at ADIPEC on Monday, Qatar's energy minister reissued a threat to halt supplying Europe with liquefied natural gas (LNG) and said it will not be able to continue doing business in Europe if the EU doesn't change or cancel the law.
