Remember how when it was in opposition the govt kept saying how Jacinda was only good as a crisis leader & not a manger?

Well right now I’d like to see more crisis leadership & a lot less managerialism frankly

Wouldn't it be better to spend on #electrification, so there's less fossil fuel usage, leaving more of it for those uses that haven't yet electrified?

We make our own electricity from solar, wind & hydro, which isn't vulnerable to external transport interruption.

BMW launches electric version of iconic 3 Series BMW has revealed the i3 – the first electric car in its popular 3 Series, offering the longest range of any EV on the European market.

Here's the studio panel. I put a Govee temperature sensor in the panel. It was reading 95F which is well below 55C. I'll keep watching it #solar #electrification #balconysolar

Today begins the unboxing of Craftstrom #balconysolar #electrification #solar I'm going to start with th accessories box so I can see the power meter and inverters

Now government must act: cut electricity costs & accelerate the switch ⚡

Australia has already passed gas – the market is just updating its paperwork The latest gas market outlook is less of a temporary supply-gap reprieve and more the start of the fastest energy transition in history, underpinned by electrification.

My intention is to put the #balconysolar from Craftstrom on the standing seam metal roof of my studio shed. But I'm worried it will take a ladder and some connectors I don't have yet. #electrification

Octopus reports sharp rise in solar panel sales since start of Iran war Firm’s sales up 54% this month and Good Energy reports doubling of interest in solar after latest oil price shock

... of course! Now if we can just decouple #electricity and #gas markets, the push and pull factors for widespread #electrification will be in place! Come on Ed - sort it out!

Here's an exciting first look at the usage data from my #studioshed #electrification #balconysolar. The setting says watts but this appears to be Kw data. I'll start unboxing the Craftstrom system tomorrow and share photos.

Ok day two and I have the emporia installed. #electrification #balconysolar

And with solar, households can go further - generating their own power and reducing reliance on the grid.

This is what Plug In, Pay Less is about:
Not short-term fixes, but permanently lower, more predictable costs.

Australia's push to #electrification and #batteries (finally!) eases our fears of gas shortfalls.

Jim Chalmers' 2026 budget should seize the opportunity for energy-focused reform, starting with a PRRT that serves the national, not just corporate interests. #auspol

Gas shortfall fears pushed out again as grid battery boom and electrification take fresh bite from demand Electrification and Australia's boom in big batteries have helped to push out forecast gas shortfalls by another year to 2030, AEMO says.

#Electrification and Australia’s boom in big #batteries have helped to push out forecast gas shortfalls by another year to 2030, #AEMO says.

„For #China, #Hormuz disruptions are certainly painful.

Yet they also vindicate Beijing’s bet on #electrification.

Electricity accounts for 30% of China’s energy consumption, about 50% higher than that of the US or Europe, leaving it better insulated from the spike in global #OilPrices.“

Unboxing my new Emporia Vue for the #balconysolar #electrification studio project. Still no sign of the actual PV panels.

Efficient electrification in a warming climate could contribute to keeping energy burdens in check We selected 28 cities to represent a range of climate conditions across the United States. Following the city selection approach in9, climate regions were defined using data from the U.S. Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy’s Building America project22. Eight primary cities were highlighted in the main text as representative examples of distinct U.S. climate zones, including very cold, cold, mixed humid, hot humid, hot dry, and marine regions. The remaining cities were included to ensure regional diversity and adequate coverage for cross-city comparisons. We also prioritized locations with readily available time-of-use rate structures and accessible data from the American Housing Survey and the American Community Survey. Across 28 representative U.S. cities, our results reveal that the combined impacts of heat pump adoption and climate change on household energy burdens are climate-dependent. In cold regions such as Buffalo and Boston, heat pump adoption increases winter burdens due to the replacement of low-cost natural gas with higher-cost electricity, but this effect is partially counterbalanced by future warming, which reduces heating demand and lowers seasonal burdens. In mixed-humid regions such as Baltimore and St. Louis, electrification and warming act in the same direction, amplifying burden reductions as heat pumps operate efficiently...

My emporia power meter has arrived. I'll do an unboxing tomorrow with photos. Not sure if I am capable of installing it the same day. #balconysolar #electrification

Well, this is a new one for me. The Copper Charlie battery equipped electric induction stove I helped design spotted on Zillow! www.zillow.com/homedetails/...

Now delayed to March 2028, it’s better late than never - but there’s work to do.

With ongoing energy price spikes, households want lasting solutions.

Housebuilders who move early will deliver lower bills - and happier customers. 💸📉

Original post on tooting.ch

With micro-generation you have small producers of energy pushing 3 or 4 kW back INTO the grid at the end of these puny "branches", and all the grid infrastructure in place to have excess shipped back to huge storage facilities where we currently have power stations.

So the clever grid strategy […]

It’s so dumb…
Having such an abundance of space, sunshine and quite a bit of wind. Australia has natural resources, most countries are jealous about and meanwhile we are years and decades behind where we should be regarding #renewables and #electrification.
