Here is the Reason Why China has banned the use of Tesla Electric Cars

China has put measures to curb state officials from using Tesla electric vehicles over security concerns. According to The Telegram, China fears that the cars could be used for spying.
The Chinese government will prevent government officials and military personnel from using cars that are manufactured from Elon Musk’s Tesla Company. China is skeptical that the cars could be used to record video footage and secretly sent data to the US.
In a rejoinder Tesla stated: “Tesla’s privacy policy complies with Chinese laws and regulations. Tesla attaches great importance to the protection of users’ privacy.”
The Electric car maker is facing resistance by the Chinese authorities who believe that the sensors and cameras attached to the electric cars could be a cyber-hazard. The sensors and cameras are placed on Tesla-made cars meant to aid in its autopilot lane assist mode.
According to Wall Street Journal (WSJ), china recorded about $6.6 billion sales to Tesla in 2020. It has been reported that Chinese military banned Tesla cars from accessing military housing due to security concerns.
Beijing officials said on Monday that Tesla representatives had been summoned by Chinese regulators over reported technical problems with their vehicles.
The State Administration for Market Regulation stated that: “Consumers have cited multiple problems, related to unusual accelerations, batteries catching fire, as well as with remote update system.”

How Human Noise Kills Marine Species, as revealed by Scientists

Scientists have warned that the discord of noise made by humans is harming marine species .  A comprehensive assessment revealed that large noise from human activities was as harmful as pollution, overfishing and climate change .  The study that was conducted by the Journal Science exposed how marine animals can hear from far distances than they can see or smell. According to a report published in the Guardian, most of the marine life uses sound to catch prey as well as attracting a mating partner.  Prof Carlos Duarte of King Abdullah University in Saudi Arabia argued that: “Marine animal can only sea up to around 10 meters, smell up to around a hundred meters, but they can hear across the entire ocean basins.” The research concluded that sound “is very important in the marine ecosystems, and noise is pervasive, affecting animals at all levels .” The increasing cacophony in the marine habitat is interfering with how marine animals respond to various survival...

Carbon dioxide to Make Jet Fuel, Study Reveals

Photo Source: twitter.com Aircrafts release a lot of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which contributes to climate change. A research that was conducted by Science News and reported on December, 22 2020 stated that there was a new iron-based catalyst that has been invented to convert carbon dioxide into jet fuel. It is only a matter of time that carbon dioxide pumped to the atmosphere by planes could be sucked and used to power the same. The air travel’s footprint in carbon emissions could be tremendously curtailed, if the carbon dioxide that is released is recycled to generate fuel. As per Science News reports, Air transport contributes to about 12 percent of the entire transportation carbon-related emissions. Unlike cars, aircrafts cannot carry bigger batteries which can be run on electricity generated from wind or solar panels. The current breakthrough in the conversion of carbon dioxide to fuel involves cheap ingredients such as iron and transformed through a single s...

Why Mt Kenya Leaders are wary about Change of Guard

As 2022 succession battle gains momentum in Kenya, leaders drawn from Mt Kenya region have become more concerned of their political future and survival. Mt Kenya region is predominantly occupied by the agikuyu, ameru and aembu communities. The region has produced three out of the four presidents. It boosts about the tyranny of numbers, thus making the region a battle ground for leaders from other region seeking to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta.  Central alone produced Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, Mwai Kibaki and Uhuru Kenyatta as presidents.

ODM leader Rail...
