Doing a clean up and found an unopened Hive View camera - a 'British Gas innovation'. This product became e-waste this month.
I never used it and now NOBODY can, AT ALL. Not even locally on their home network.
Another example of a product you buy but businesses can kill at any time.

Oh well, that's the end of that. At midnight, Amazon is scrapping payments for receipts. They'll still pay for the odd survey but they've almost dried up to nothing in the last few months.
I did well for the time they operated it I suppose, but perhaps times are hard for the company now!

In the first week since installation, we've produced a whopping 223kWh of electricity! Our weekly usage averages 70-80kWh.
127.2kWh exported and 5.9kWh taken from the grid!

We should be encouraging this sort of thing, just like encouraging the fitting of solar panels and home batteries to balance the grid.
It creates new jobs and opportunities and will help keep many classic cars on the road, and affordable to drive as fuel costs rise over time.

Great to see such an engaged discussion over this piece! And also some new subscribers. Thanks all!
NEW: I spoke to people who have converted their cars from fossil fuel guzzlers into EVs - and companies that offer to do this work for you.
Is it time for this to go mainstream - instead of scrapping perfectly roadworthy petrol and diesel cars?
