CO2 emissions from China are down 1.6% for Q1 2025 and 1% for the past 12 months. The greater deployment of renewables relative to fossil fuels appears to be starting to cut into emissions. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨🔋 www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-cle...

Today I completed my @openuniversity.bsky.social application to start studying environmental science from October.
i've wanted to do this for a long time and now that I'm only a few years from retiring it feels right.

There is no country/zone with a) high prices and low carbon emissions or b) with low prices and high emissions.
The higher the carbon emissions from electricity generation in 2024, the higher the prices and vice versa.

I am really worried about the Trump administration / the broader Tech-fascist cloud surrounding it going after Bluesky soon. This website really isn't billionaire proof, or dictator-proof, or oligarch-proof, not yet anyway.

Italy's energy regulator extends until 2027 the scheme that allows households to benefit from additional capacity (6kW) at night and weekends to charge their EVs at no additional network charge. This scheme incentivises more efficient use of the grid by shifting most home charging to off-peak hours.

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people.
Sound efficient?
