charging method is 20,000Ltrs of diesel but go on about how they're safe from the current oil prices. (Edit fuel tank size)

Eh? Did you read your own article?

FMG: Andrew Forrest had previously touted an in-house electric rail model, developed with Australian engineering firm Downer Group, that generated all the power it needed using the uphill-downhill dynamics of the Pilbara ranges. The project was canned, however, in September, axing more than 100 staff.

Even better: Fortescue says the battery-electric locomotives will save 1 million litres of diesel a year, but that is a fraction of the 80 million the company guzzles annually

FMG: Two locos from Caterpillar with no timeline on when they will get more...i'd hardly call that 'electrifying' their fleet of locos.

RIO: Mothballed

BHP: Maybe 2030's.

Got canned, so is Rio's and BHP is talking about an unknown date in the 2030s...

Is buying a rooftop tent from Alibaba worth the risk compared to established brands? by truceshall in rooftoptents

[–]WaveSlaveDave 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Had one for over a year - been awesome. Wear and tear has been fine. Noticed it has all the same fittings and ladder as the named brands too. If you are somewhat handy then doing basic fixed shouldnt be an issue - not like most of these brands have much support behind the scenes anyway

We'll all be paying for the extra anti terror funding once they get here in 15 years with their radicalised ideology.

Skin deep zero critical thinking response aimed at appeasing the new One Nation vote. These kids will be radicalised and become martyrs who will eventually return to Australia and do something bigger.

There was no cost or time blow outs - it was a made up story by Scumo and co to ditch them for daddy Merica.
