Wow, look at this: the carbon intensity of UK electricity is currently only 32g/kWh and 86.5% of our electricity right now is coming from renewables.

Come on world, this IS possible!
And it will only get better (meaning: cleaner, healthier, less intrusive) 🎉

This article is well worth a read. There’s a bigger picture than just putting a new battery in your old Leaf.
I drive an 11-year old EV with a new battery, with a range of 475km. The old battery will soon be installed in my home, to power my home on cheaper and cleaner electricity.

This is covered in a nice article by @neilmbriscoe.bsky.social for @irishtimes.com today

This is well worth 3 minutes of your time.
Making a positive difference by clearing up shocking amounts of plastic. It looks like there’s growing interest in reusing this collected waste too! 😀

Wow! How am I only discovering this web site now?
Hopefully we can work out how to make use of this free, clean energy.

For a given date, see how much wind power was curtailed in Britain, and how much it might have been worth.

Great video from Edd. The more garages there are with the ability to repair Leaf batteries, the longer these great little cars can stay on the road. I’m thinking one of these may be an ideal first car when my kids learn to drive.

To be clear, we do have plans for scaling, we just kinda expected more than a couple days notice before getting blasted with a million new users a day.
The team is rapidly deploying fixes and new software to adapt. More servers in the mail.

UK imports of US fracked gas will soar if Labour’s #CCS plans go ahead—which are mostly about new gas power stations and blue hydrogen plants.
The Gov must listen to the scientists and go all out for renewables instead.
The UK’s £22 billion carbon capture plans are a Big Oil scam to keep the gas flowing.

They’re mostly about 𝙣𝙚𝙬 gas infrastructure - with minimal retrofit of existing plants.

Why scientists are so alarmed👇
