Which One For You? https://lifeboat.com/blog/2022/01/electric-vs-petrol-car-which-one-for-you Tue, 11 Jan 2022 08:23:20 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2022/01/electric-vs-petrol-car-which-one-for-you

The car market is changing, and quickly.
it seems combustion engines are declining quickly in popularity, as electric vehicles, led by @Tesla 0, are taking the market by storm, selling as fast as they can be produced, and outselling all but the very cheapest city cars in most markets.

But are they for you?
Do they have the range and can you afford to make the switch?

Well in this video I take the most important factors and line the two up, head to head, to give you the answers you need.

So sit back and enjoy the ride, because the future is coming, faster than anyone predicted.

If you want to know more about how autonomous vehicles will totally change the way we use transport then try this video next, where I go into depth on the whole subject.

How Elon Musk Learnt To Succeed. Just Two Rules For Learning Faster https://lifeboat.com/blog/2022/01/how-elon-musk-learnt-to-succeed-just-two-rules-for-learning-faster Tue, 04 Jan 2022 11:22:40 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2022/01/how-elon-musk-learnt-to-succeed-just-two-rules-for-learning-faster

Do you collect facts or nurture knowledge?

From SpaceX & Tesla, to Neuralink, OpenAI and The Boring Company, Elon Musk has demonstrated the ability to optimise the learning process, and it all comes down to two simple rules.

So I put together a quick guide so you can learn to optimise for success as well.

Never Stop Learning. The Future Of Education https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/12/never-stop-learning-the-future-of-education Fri, 31 Dec 2021 13:23:23 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/12/never-stop-learning-the-future-of-education

Do you like to keep learning?

Why should be stop at 16, or after University?

The world is changing so fast now, the idea of life long learning is becoming a necessity.

I look at what is wrong, how we can change it & the benefits that this could bring to not just the individual, but society as a whole.

Have a great day and a happy new year to you all.

Make Your Voice Heard. Ten Points To Tell Politicians & Businesses To Accept & Action https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/12/make-your-voice-heard-ten-points-to-tell-politicians-businesses-to-accept-action Wed, 15 Dec 2021 09:23:35 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/12/make-your-voice-heard-ten-points-to-tell-politicians-businesses-to-accept-action

Climate Emergency Basics.

Most people now accept that things are out of balance, and it is only those with warped agendas or a lack of understanding that are left behind.
Use these ten facts as starting points with which to move forward.
Use your vote, where you have one, in politics, the boardroom or a shareholders meeting to push for change in the right direction.
Use your money to buy goods and services from those making the right decisions to make the future cleaner, renewable and sustainable.
Finally, USE YOUR VOICE. Talk to everyone and share these thoughts, and challenge misinformation when you hear it being spread.
We can create a better future.
We waste billions subsidising fossil fuels when we could be scaling renewables and developing alternatives faster.
The more people vote for those with net zero policies and buy from those with net zero aims and ambitions, the sooner the balance will tip and momentum will do the rest.

If you want to see some ideas for how we move forward to solve these issues then watch this video next smile Can we save our planet?

Idea based upon content from the book.
There is no planet B by Mike Berners-Lee.

Carbon Zero 2030. They Claim The Energy Supply Cannot Be Done. They Are Wrong! https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/12/carbon-zero-2030-they-claim-the-energy-supply-cannot-be-done-they-are-wrong Wed, 08 Dec 2021 13:22:58 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/12/carbon-zero-2030-they-claim-the-energy-supply-cannot-be-done-they-are-wrong

It is true that renewables have an immense road ahead, but we already know the destination, Net Zero, in all areas of life, so why keep throwing good money after bad with fossil fuels.

I show exactly where we are with renewables and storage, and indeed it is woefully short, but I also show how we could take the initiative and the right decisions to clean our energy supply as early as 2030.

There is big money trying to wring out every last penny of profit from their declining empires, and using politicians on their pay to do their dirty work, but we can decide where we spend our money, and we can harass the companies to do more and faster, and we can make a better future for all of us.

Can The Sun Power The Earth? Will Solar Energy Cope Or Will The Lights Go Out? https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/12/can-the-sun-power-the-earth-will-solar-energy-cope-or-will-the-lights-go-out Wed, 01 Dec 2021 11:22:57 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/12/can-the-sun-power-the-earth-will-solar-energy-cope-or-will-the-lights-go-out

So can solar energy cut it?

Can we really move to a society not harnessed to the unsustainable practices of the old way.

I look at exactly how much land might be required & whether the lights will be able to stay on in the future as they have in the past.

I’m sure most know the answer, but this gives real facts and figures that can be used to defend against the fossil fuel apologists, and shared with friends, family and colleagues who are still learning.

Have an amazing day wherever you are…


Can the sun power the earth.

We need energy, and more than that we love energy.
And why not, it does work for us, and the more work is done for us, the less work we need to do to maintain a certain lifestyle. A level of luxury as it were and why should life not be nice! Surely the whole reason for existence is to experience and so therefore the more you can have conscious control of what fills your time the better.

What is it going to cost and will it do the job as well as the old way?
We all know the sun does not always shine and the wind does not always blow.

So can solar cut it?

Making Tomorrow Better https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/11/making-tomorrow-better Thu, 25 Nov 2021 08:22:59 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/11/making-tomorrow-better

https://www.youtube.com/c/MakingTomorrowBetter

I have a small YouTube channel which I create videos on clean energy and the environment. I have under 600 subs and many videos have not even hit 100 views but I am being increasingly targeted by fossil fuel activists and supporters, with personal attacks and misinformation.
I do respond to misinformation, and remove the worst comments but if anyone would like to help support me, nipping over to my channel, watching some videos and subscribing to the channel would be most appreciated.
We can show them that they are the minority, not us, and the wider the information spreads the quicker the change will be and the better life will be for everyone.
Thanks in advance and have an awesome day.


It is very likely that treatments to address the issues that cause aging & its related conditions & diseases will be within our reach in 15 to 20 years.

It is highly likely that a general realisation that these treatments are not only scientifically possible but within our reach will start to become increasingly apparent to the wider population in as little as maybe 5 years.

On this channel I will seek to hasten this realisation, & provide answers to the most common questions & concerns. I will also seek to distil the current scientific knowledge base into an easy to use action plan for those wishing to take measures to make sure they see this in good health.

To raise awareness of how close longevity treatments are.

To debate and dispute arguments against it happening.

To show the pathway (diet/exercise/mental health/current medications and supplements) to make sure you live long enough to see it.

To present technologies & ideas to show what it may look like in the future.

Coal Is Dead. The True Cost Of Coal Will Shock You!! https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/11/coal-is-dead-the-true-cost-of-coal-will-shock-you Wed, 24 Nov 2021 13:24:10 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/11/coal-is-dead-the-true-cost-of-coal-will-shock-you

Coal is cheap and we need energy, quick.

This is what ‘they’ claim, but they are lies.

In this video I analyse why coal fails on every single metric, even cost, never mind environmental destruction.

I take every one of their arguments and I rip them apart to show the fallacy that fossil fuels are better, and if not better, then at least cheaper.

Leave the coal if the ground.

Making A Future Better Together. A Vision Of A Pathway https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/11/making-a-future-better-together-a-vision-of-a-pathway Wed, 17 Nov 2021 09:23:19 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/11/making-a-future-better-together-a-vision-of-a-pathway

Are we governed by donkeys? COP26 was just a farce of vested interests kissing the butts of fossil fuel legacy industries that are so out of date that they cannot compete anymore and need underhand, secret handshake deals just to keep themselves in the luxury they enjoy…at our expense. So here is my Manifesto for the next decade. It is time to start voting for the right people and harassing your representatives to get them to make the right decisions that will benefit the majority, not a few CEO’s who are so corrupt it is like the plot of a new film…

Biochar Carbon Capture And Storage. Lower CO2 & Cleaner Environment To Better Crops & Lower Costs https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/11/biochar-carbon-capture-and-storage-lower-co2-cleaner-environment-to-better-crops-lower-costs Wed, 10 Nov 2021 12:22:38 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/11/biochar-carbon-capture-and-storage-lower-co2-cleaner-environment-to-better-crops-lower-costs

Carbon is not our enemy, but the system is out of balance. Too much as atmospheric gases and too little in the ground and soil in the simplest terms.

Biochar, although not new, has found a new lease of life. A process that generates heat, uses waste, locks away carbon and benefits almost every system to which it is introduced.

After reading it all about it, I just had to share the possibilities and so I compiled what I learnt into a short video for those interested.

Hope you enjoy and have a great day.


Biochar Carbon Capture And Storage.

Carbon is not our enemy.

As an element it forms the basis of life as we see it all around us but we have for too long squandered valuable resources with no respect for their true value, but that can change.

It almost seems too good to be true, to be able to combat climate change whilst getting better yields and reducing flooding and land degradation, and increasing cheap access to drinking water.

Well just watch this.

Why not see some other ways we can make tomorrow better by watching this next, These could be the golden years.
