Yemen Houthi, Somalia and Iran?

 Attacking International Shipping in the Red and Arabia Seas!

We are entering a phase of difficult times ahead, were what we order on Amazon and other may not get to us on time and the blessing we have had may become worse?

Now that shipping is being targeted on three or more sides over the conflict in the Gaza strip, we are possibly going to war in the region unless nations can get together and stop the drones, missile and rockets that are hitting commercial vessels, tankers and other and in time we will see the sinking of shipping!

We enter 2024 with a developing major crises that will spread to the Malay-Singapore channel and also to the Gibraltar straits with militants active in Algeria, Libya, Tunisia and other place once more.

Prices for fuel will rise and we thought we had it bad with the Russian-Ukraine war?

Trains. EMU/DMU.

Is this now the future for all passenger travels, or will the classic locomotive hauled trains continue?


There seems to be a varied selection of new and improved electrical and Diesel multiple unit models coming out year by year across many of the developed countries, but with each new type of rolling stock the ticket prices also continue to rise. 


I suppose also now with further tensions in the Middle-East and the Gulf (Iran) fuel prices will rocket. What will people do?

Karz's.

The automobile.

The car has know been with us for well over one-hundred years. The first vehicles were steam powered, slow and dirty. But with the introduction of the petrol engine and the Ford mass-produced production lines, cars have become available to nearly everyone. 

What does the future hold for vehicles such as these, with the rising prices of fuel and the problems of pollution

Will the introduction of a hydrogen-Cell powered car be mass produced or limited perhaps initially just to police, military and emergency services and/or the wealthy. 

Will steam return in a new form, that is cleaner, will solar power vehicles as seen in science ficition come to the fore?

What is the future to be of the electric car?
