John Maytham is joined by investigative journalist Susan Comrie from amaBhungane to unpack her latest reporting on the turmoil inside PetroSA, South Africa’s state-owned oil and gas company. The discussion dives into a diesel deal gone wrong — one that saw PetroSA hand over hundreds of millions of rands worth of fuel to a little-known company without contracts, guarantees, or full payment.

The Supreme Court rules against the environment but does it really have the power it thinks it has to destroy the world? Cruise robotaxies rebel against humans. Hyundai/Kia may have a dieselgate scandal of their own. GM will reimburse owners of 2020-2022 Bolt EVs, although it's unclear if all owners will get the full $6,000. And the reimbursement program doesn't apply to Bolt EV leases. Bloomberg highlighted the plight of an Uber driver who had the option of keeping her extremely common ICE vehicle, the Toyota Camry, or renting a Tesla Model 3. A new study in the UK shows that 100% of new car buyers in the country are ready to go electric for the right price. Wildfires from electrocuted birds. Deleting Your Period Tracker?

Okay, so that title is clearly misleading. On this episode we talk about Volkswagen's Dieselgate scandal which involved illegal activity done by the company which is one of the biggest in the world. We discuss and give our non professional opinions so sit back and enjoy.
Volkswagen has taken the unusual step of going after the firm's former board members involved in the diesel emissions scandal. Several key figures, led by former chief executive Martin Winterkorn, will pay millions of euros to Volkswagen to settle claims around their involvement in the emissions cheating scheme. Volkswagen's insurer will take the biggest hit, over €270 million. In an aviation first, a Boeing MQ – 25 Stingray drone has operated in an air-to-air refuelling role, offloading fuel to a manned F/A-18 Hornet. The buddy tanking procedure used standard Navy equipment and the transfer was made at what Boeing calls “operationally relevant altitudes and speeds”. The on-again, off-again Keystone XL pipeline project, intended to carry Canadian oil sands derived crude to American refineries, has been officially cancelled by the Canadian firm spearheading the project. The formal cancellation comes after the January revocation of Pres. Biden's presidential permit, reversing Pres. Trump's prior reversal of Pres. Obama's 2016 cancellation. Is Keystone dead? It would appear so, but the project has been through this before.
