#Business #leaders should immediately begin preparing strategically and technologically to take advantage of the metaverse’s transformative possibilities. Metaverse elements and applications are developing swiftly. The metaverse’s potential contribution to #GCC #economies could be around US$15 billion by 2030, with more possible throughout the rest of the #Middleeast. The total value of the metaverse is expected to come close to $800 billion worldwide by 2024. 💥The metaverse is attracting substantial #investment. 💡How can #companies start preparing to benefit from the #metaverse’s transformational possibilities? #innovation #sustainable #electricvehicles #hydrogen #internalcombustion Perhaps we should also discuss EVs looking at the dependency on lithium, cobalt, nickel etc, the “Social” obligations in ESG and how child labour to source raw materials will be addressed, and then how future generations will deal with toxic waste from scrappage. Adding a recent press release from Toyota to add some fuel to the combustion chambers 😉 Which will emerge winner, EVs or ICE? I place my bets on ICE. Infrastructure to create the fuelling stations is another wave. Indeed the next major move which is needed is nuclear power to produce hydrogen. In my view, Hydrogen powered ICE vehicles was always the next phase of #sustainableinnovation furthering the century of continuous development and perfection of the much loved majestic sound and experience of the combustion engine. Think of disposing simply a pencil battery, let alone a massive battery of an SUV! We are just pushing the envelope to future generations when the drive and pitch of the Net-zero and Fit-for-55 and the Paris Agreement at the COP 21 in 2015, all made EVs the wonder solution for the climate change, environment and future generations. We avoided discussion on the true environmental cost difference between the more conventional ’well-to-wheel-to-scrappage’ of an ICE vehicle, and the newer ‘mine’-to-wheel-to-scrappage of an EV. Now the US and EU reacted frantically by enacting the Chips Act to attract investors back to the west. The west created the demand for minerals like lithium and cobalt while China dominated supply. Sourcing of raw material going from well, to mines. Katchafire plays at Drifter’s Wharf at 8 pm on November 11, supported by Masaya, ManaLion and Sub-tribe Sound System.I call this “sustainable innovation” now that “sustainable” is key in almost everything.Įlectric Vehicles were in my opinion never a long-term “sustainable” solution. They have shared the stage with such artists as Damien Marley, Steel Pulse, UB40, The Wailers, Michael Franti and Spearhead.
It all started when lead guitarist Grenville Bell, father of lead singer Logan Bell and drummer Jordan Bell, moved into an apartment building in town with his then-teenage sons where they could make music all night.Īfter countless jams and sold-out concerts, they swelled to an eight-piece collective of multi-talented songwriters and musicians and became a staple on Pacific Roots scenes around the world. The sound is built on the foundations of classic roots reggae with an R’n’B and funk rub. With six successful albums, platinum sales hit singles, and a massive fanbase selling out shows around the world, 2022 sees Katchafire celebrating its 25th anniversary. While the borders were closed Katchafire released two new singles – Circle Back and Whaingaroa as well as released the single in Te Reo (Māori language) as part of the Waiata/Anthems documentary series. The band has been touring internationally since 2006, with 2021 being the only year there was no overseas tour for the New Zealand outfit, due to COVID-19.
#Post nuclear drifter full
The all-Maori band toured Europe in July and North America in September and members are looking forward to their first full Aussie tour since 2019. Internationally acclaimed roots reggae band Katchafire will perform at Drifter’s Wharf, Gosford, on November 11.
