Car Maniac does it again.
He shows us what BMW will unleash next year:

15 min = 71 kWh added,
20 min = 85 kWh added, a true German designed #chargingmonster

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

As has become customary for me, and I make no apology for it, every December, I post a photo of a different robin a day. Like it or lump it.

Better public transport, better places for pedestrians and better cycle ways/ cycle friendly junctions all go together.
So, a new metro network in Paris could also see more people cycling.

Perhaps the smartest #ClimateAction investment in cities is in public transit. While others make excuses, Paris is building a WHOLE NEW METRO NETWORK CONNECTING SUBURBS.

When power went out across all of Puerto Rico on 16 April, a lot of the lights in the town of Adjuntas stayed on. A combination of experimental microgrids, solar panels, and storage kept power on for many businesses and residents.

Always remember ... "A" customs union is not "The" Customs Union. It doesn't bring the benefits of the Single Market – and it intentionally avoids the issue of Freedom of Movement. We need the Single Market and we need Freedom of Movement. The public is far further than the politicians on this.
