People used to quality cars could be expected to be fussy (I would certainly be very fussy after waiting and paying what these cars cost) but there are no reports of such.

Taking climate change etc out of the equasion, the car industry still needs to perfect alternative means of propulsion, as sooner or later, the oil will run out/become too expensive to produce, or emissions laws will become all but unachievable.
I don’t see the point in keep banging on about nuclear reactors which are not being built at the moment despite comments and have many problems still to fix.
Long term nuclear power is never going to be the answer.
CANADA IS BUILDING A MOLTEX nuclear reactor at New Brunswick. It will burn irradiated high level waste nuclear fuel from the CANDU plant next door. The programme is in line for grid connection in 2028. A long time for something so simple but really quick for a nuke. The engineering is sorted the slow pace is entirely regulatory.
Is it?? Is it being built? Has anyone actually picked up a shovel and started digging a foundation ?
No, no they haven’t. It is not just regulatory it is also funding, MOLTEX as a company doesn’t currently have the money to build a power plant, what they have is some funding to try and sort out the regulatory problems.
It is misleading to say that anything is being built. Even if it where 2028 is the date they are touting as being the year something would become operational. To put that in context the Hinkley point station will have taken 10 years from being funded to being operational assuming it does come online in the planned 2023 and they already had the regulatory barriers taken care of and they had a technology that was tried and tested..... MOLTEX doesn’t have the funding nor has it sorted out the red tape.
I’d not expect Molten salt reactors to be available for commercial use till 2040 assuming they ever get through the red tape. And by then would other alternatives not be more worth the investment?
They already have solar molten salt reactors which actually work and have been built and tested and still investment in this technology has collapsed as it isn’t financially viable
Come on, go easy on Canada... they have a wet sponge as their leader atm, I'm sure many projects and progress have been stalled due to him...
Assessment of campaign promises
In July 2019, a group of 20 independent academics published an assessment on Trudeau's tenure as prime minister, called Assessing Justin Trudeau's Liberal Government: 353 Promises and a Mandate for Change. The assessment found that Trudeau's Liberal government kept 92 per cent of pledges, a sum of complete and partial pledges. When calculating completed and realized pledges, they found Trudeau's government kept 53.5 per cent of their campaign promises. Trudeau's government, along with the "last Harper government had the highest rates of follow-through on their campaign promises of any Canadian government over the last 35 years," according to the assessment.
Seriously who are you listening to ??

:Offtopic:
Talk about the merger, or stfu.
Yeah, you started it though, and Andy is also in the wrong for responding to your offtopic comment, stop turning every damn thread into a bloody soapbox war.
It was literally a facepalm moment for me, wondering where the hell the information was actually coming from, doesn’t seem to matter what the subject is, it seems to need to come down to politics. Especially as in this instance it is completely irrelevant to what Dave and I had discussed.
What I didn’t do was ask why you didn’t like him, just where are you getting this from?
