Viewing the World Economic Forum (WEF)

 I sat and watched an hour of the 'show' yesterday....this was some chat over energy transition.  

To be honest, I have a fair amount of interest in energy topics these days....so I'm willing to hear people discuss the matter.

The moderator gal (I assume Japanese-UK) asked a question at some point....directed at the audience (I'd guess at least 200 people in the room).

Question: how many of you own E-cars?

Four in the audience held their hands up.  Yeah, that was it.

In Germany, if you counted both hybrids and E-cars....toward the end of 2021....there were 1.1-million of such vehicles registered.  If you look at the trend line.....it's around 400,000 of the two (together) sold/registered each year now in Germany.

Yeah, it's not bad, but it's not that great either.

The thing is.....all these characters showing up at the WEF, and there just doesn't appear that much enthusiasm for E-cars.  Begs a lot of questions.

But the nice thing here.....WEF doesn't go and rattle the audience to find their positions.  They just smile and proceed on.
