Mark Aldridge · Follow There are many reasons we cannot presently transition to EVs completely, here is a minor one. A University of Michigan study has concluded that it is impossible to mine enough copper to meet the push for EV transition. Not only can't it meet the copper needed for the vehicles themselves, but the power grid would be lacking as well. "A normal Honda Accord needs about 40 pounds of copper. The same battery electric Honda Accord needs almost 200 pounds of copper. Onshore wind turbines require about 10 tons of copper, and in offshore wind turbines, that amount can more than double," said Adam Simon, U-M professor of earth and environmental studies. "We show in the paper that the amount of copper needed is essentially impossible for mining companies to produce." The study found that between 2018 and 2050, the world will need to mine 115% more copper than has been mined in ALL of human history up until 2018 just to meet "business as usual" needs. This would meet the US's current copper needs as well as supporting the developing world without considering the green energy transition. And that is simply impossible. So as predicted by myself and others, "ain't no way". The push for the move from internal combustion engines to EV's is not simply unrealistic given the stage of technology, but impossible based on actual material needs. And copper is only ONE material which is being shown to be lacking; there are others.

Perhaps they should search fans leaving they then might stop all those walking out with the flags which I see almost every match.

Leicester City handed financial boost for potential January transfer push The club have taken out a loan with Australian bank Macquarie ahead of the final couple of weeks in the January transfer window, with more signings still needed in relegation fight ByJordan Blackwell Leicester City have taken out a bank loan in a move that could signal a push for January transfers. City have secured the loan, with Australian bank Macquarie, against future Premier League payments in what has become a standard practice for the club over the past few years. The loans are often taken out to aid cash flow and to cover the day-to-day running of the club, but the timing of the latest loan may suggest a focus on January deals. The filing on Companies House was published on Monday evening, but is backdated to January 9. It does not specify how much the loan is for. There’s now less than a fortnight remaining in the winter window and City still have plans for further transfers, hoping to add a centre-back, a winger, and perhaps even a striker to their one recruit so far, right-back Woyo Coulibaly. The latest loan is secured against Premier League payments up to June 2028. That also means it would be secured against parachute payments owed to the club in the event of relegation back to the Championship. City’s previous deals with Macquarie came last September, when they not only took out a loan against Premier League payments, but also to bring forward the transfer instalments they were owed by Chelsea for the deal over Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Only £10m was paid up front by the Stamford Bridge club, with City using Macquarie to get the other £20m, rather than waiting for the next instalments this summer and next summer. While the latest bank loan may help with January deals, it should not be interpreted that a spending spree is imminent with big-money deals on the way. While City avoided a charge over Profit and Sustainability Rules for the 2023/24 campaign, they are still working to ensure they do not go beyond the financial loss threshold in future seasons.

Garden Street Island - Leicester Sohidul Haymarket, Leicester (1970’s)

Story of Leicester Fredric Lennard and his five sons Samuel, Thomas, Henry, John and William built up a large shoemaking business in Leicester. In August 1901 they patented the Liberty brand of footwear. Here is their factory that was on Eastern Boulevard with the famous Statue of Liberty replica which was installed after the family took a trip to America after World War II. We think this photo was taken in the early 1980s looking at the cars - the orange one looks like a Vauxhall Chevette, what do you think?

On toilets the one I used had 4 paper towel dispensers last year this year just 2. The club is saving pennies and losing millions.

It’s everything about the club there isn’t one redeeming factor that is acceptable never mind good. Saying it’s the same at all clubs doesn’t justify it we should be aiming to be better than anyone else.

Consider this!!! Marcelo Bielsa argues that the financial risks tied to results have led coaches to shy away from an entertaining style of play and to limit players' creative freedom. While increased revenue from advertising and more spectators may seem beneficial, he believes this interest is superficial. Over time, he predicts that spectator numbers will quickly decline as the game becomes increasingly boring. Fans must support coaches who are unafraid to entertain. Results and entertainment don't have to be mutually exclusive – both are achievable!

Maia Davies BBC News Digital driving licences are to be introduced in the UK as the government looks to use technology to "transform public services". They will be accessed on a new government smartphone app and could be accepted as a form of ID when buying alcohol, voting, or boarding domestic flights. Physical licences will still be issued, but ministers believe the voluntary digital option will "drag government into the 2020s," according to The Times. A government spokesperson told BBC News: "This government is committed to using technology to make people's lives easier and transform public services. "Technology now makes it possible for digital identities to be more secure than physical ones, but we remain clear that they will not be made mandatory." The virtual licences could be used at supermarket self checkouts, The Times said,, external allowing customers to verify their own age without waiting for a member of staff. The new digital licences will be introduced later this year, the newspaper reported. A possible feature could allow users to hide their address in certain situations, such as in bars or shops. There were more than 50 million driving licence holders in the UK in 2023, according to government data., external The digital licences are likely to be launched as part of a "wallet" within a new government app called Gov.uk. The wallet is understood to be secured in a similar way to many banking apps, and would only allow the genuine owner of a licence to access it. It will use features found on many smartphones, such as biometrics and multifactor authentication, like security codes. The government is said to be considering integrating other services into the app, such as tax payments and benefits claims. Other forms of identification, such as national insurance numbers, could also be added - but it is not thought physical identification will be replaced entirely. The new technology appears to stop short of being a broad digital ID card – as previously called for by Sir Tony Blair and Lord William Hague. At the time, the head of privacy campaign group Big Brother Watch said such a move "would be one of the biggest assaults on privacy ever seen in the UK". In 2016, the then-boss of the UK's Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) said digital licences were being developed. Virtual licences are already in use in Australia, Denmark, Iceland and Norway, as well as some US states. In the European Union, every member state is required to introduce at least one form of digital ID by 2026.

Leicester City have lost seven consecutive league games for only the fourth time in their history, also doing so in April 2001 (a run of eight), September 1990 and January 1932.
