In China battery electric trucks and hybrid trucks now outsell diesel trucks for the first time.

Why Electrification Could Cut Global Energy Use in Half! YouTube video by Everything Electric TECH

NEW PODCAST: Electricity is just 20% of global energy. The other 80% (heating, transport, industry) still runs on fossil fuels. Full electrification could cut total energy demand in half. More in my conversation with @bobbyllew.bsky.social of Everything Electric Show

The Apple electric vehicle range. Neo (sub 20k hatch back 300 miles range 100kw charging minimal outside with great interior ) Pro (40k saloon) and Max (7 seater flexible people carrier). And an e-bike.

Hybrid batteries are heavily cycled so don’t last as long as the new in an electric car. BEV batteries outlast the car, usually 20+ years with acceptable capacity loss.

Born to be miiiiild.

Pi graph showing Renewables at 85.5% of the UK's electricity generation. Gas is 5.7%.

It's now 85.5% (1.40 pm) - the wholesale cost is negative, but there are so many costs due to legacy systems that the consumer price is still high! We need more grid-level storage (like the pumped hydro schemes due between 2028 and 2035) and less 'always on' old tech.

Denmark didn’t “transition” its grid—it replaced it.

~15% → 92% renewable electricity in 25 years.

Wind did the heavy lifting. Solar is scaling. Interconnection balanced. Flexibility solved variability.

Wind built it. Solar is scaling. Fossil lost it.

This IS system replacement. ⚡#Bettrification

Is there such a thing as a great movie outside of personal taste?

That’s Bure-ly a joke.

Better. Teslas are great cars but tend to suffer obvious flaws. BYD are more focused and less open to the whims of non designers.

My mind is blown. Look Mum No Computer (Sam Battle), a YouTuber I watch on a regular basis, not so much for his music but other stuff, will be the #Eurovision entry for the UK. He's a great choice, but I hope he gets some help with his songwriting.

It’s the wrong design.

Did we? Few apps are allowed the honor of alerting me. I quickly silence those that bring me trivia.

An American citizen did. Did I miss something.

Chart admirably demonstrating the climate trend

It's leading to record wildfires, floods, rising seas, extreme storms & typhoons, harvest failures

And whilst the tech is around to curtail the problem, humanity, right now, just isn't doing so

Coal power falls in China and India for first time in decades The shift, driven by record installations and softer demand growth, could mark a turning point for the world’s two biggest coal users

Coal power falls in India and China for first time in decades amid record clean energy growth

The utterly shameless & widely covered "report" out today, claiming net zero will "cost" £9tn is based on:

* Assuming free fossil-fuel energy, free petrol cars, free gas boilers, free gas power plants etc

AND

* Including climate damages in the "cost" of net zero

I kid you not, it is that stupid

San Francisco, Los Angelis. Not Canadian are they 😉?

Hi UK here. After careful consideration we turn down your kind offer as Disneyland is a bit too loud and brash and we have no idea what to do with ‘Gators’.

Earth? Nope. Thanksgiving is a you thing. Christmas, new years, insert other religious holiday, are all bigger.

We had a go, let someone else have a turn. I mean, we like our tea not to be dumped in harbours.

The new polo looks like a return to form for VW. The ID series were flawed at birth. They drove well but were overly heavy and chunky and the inside design, both industrial and UX design, were bad.

For longer distance trips outside of urban settings?

It was very obviously a bad idea. See also the cybertruck, cybertaxi and AI first (I’m pro AI but it needs to be humans first and last).

It was always broken. In each era there were computer systems that were user unfriendly and used in ways not beneficial to society. See luddites.
