It's not them. It's the super rich 0.1% who have screwed this generation.

So all imperial measurements are factors of 12 apart?
It's great. Really much better than gas in my opinion.
Induction cook tops are so great. I can't imagine going back to gas.
You can get super fancy induction cook tops that work with conventional woks but even better you can get woks designed to work with conventional induction cook tops.
And even PET only gets recycled a relatively small percentage of the time.
The industry claims that 9% - 18% of plastic put in recycling bins gets recycled but even that's probably an overstatement. Also they're including the plastic which gets shipped to SE Asia for "recycling" - but once it gets there it's actually landfilled because that's cheaper than recycling. So the amount of actual plastic recycling which actually occurs is probably negligible.
is not really up for debate that helmets prevent brain injuries
Not if you don't read the research, as you apparently haven't. As the poster above pointed out there really is a lot of debate and the research supporting helmets is of very poor quality.
There are no facilities in Australia which can recycle soft plastics in commercial quantities. It requires a special process which is very energy intensive and expensive to run (pyrolysis / depolymerisation). The only country in the world which does it at commercial scale is Japan, and even they only process around 10% of their soft plastics. Still, it's better than the 0% we do here.
It's unlikely to ever be done here in Australia because it's a lot more expensive to recycle this way than just making new plastic.
Disappointing since the whole thing was a scam from the word go. They never had any ability to recycle soft plastics in commercial quantities.
That depends on the country you live in. In Australia for instance anything that looks like a "sale" must be an actual sale of a product and can't be something else sneakily disguised as a sale. It's illegal for services like Steam or app stores to deny you access to software you've bought on their platform in Australia.
That doesn't mean it hasn't happened before though.
If you calculate the revenues from fuel excise it doesn't come close to covering road costs either. I didn't even count the state funded road costs above but they come to some additional thousands per year per vehicle.
Most road costs are paid out of general revenue. Which means that the 30% of people who don't drive are paying for roads for everyone else too.
It's literally the most expensive power of any of the major options.
