What happened to the clean, quiet EVs that were cruising around 100 years ago? And, in hindsight, internal combustion engines really make no sense.

Here's my experience of the @octopus.energy #EnergyTechSummit. I had a great day and it was lovely to meet a load of viewers of the channel and talk about green tech with other enthusiasts. Featuring @speaktothegeek.co.uk, @tillathenun.bsky.social, and @sarahgogreen.com

Another highlight was the inimitable @profbriancox.bsky.social, rockstar and scientist of star rocks 🌌 🤘🏻

One of my favourite talks was from @elpinchbeck.bsky.social, Chief Executive of the UK Climate Change Committee. She was funny, relatable, smart, and passionate. It's so good to know that someone like her is talking to the government about climate change 🙌🏻💚🌍

He was really inspiring and great to listen to. I feel so honoured to have been in a room with someone who has been in space 🚀🛰️

It was presented by Natasha Kaplinsky, and opened with an introduction by @gjuk.bsky.social, founder of @octopus.energy. He seemed very genuine and down to earth, really likeable.

On Monday, I was incredibly lucky to have attended @octopus.energy #energytechsummit as one of 500 customer ballot winners. It was such a good day, and really inspiring. I will put my photos and videos in this thread.
The Climate Change Committee report that @elpinchbeck.bsky.social previewed for us at @octopus.energy #EnergyTechSummit on Monday is out now: www.theccc.org.uk/publication/...
Not all the slides Emma showed are there though - any chance of getting the rest of that deck @thecccuk.bsky.social ?
This was announced during a brilliant panel discussion at @octopus.energy #EnergyTechSummit yesterday.
I got to sit on the top deck of the double decker BYD bus and do a small segment for the @OctopusEnergy podcast.
Everyone were far too happy, chatty and the tunes bouncing to so i anywhere else lol #EnergyTechSummit
Connecting with people: Andy put balcony solar on his shed, Ann wants cross pavement EV charging, Emma interested in investing in a turbine. Customers chat @octopus.energy #EnergyTechSummit #LCAW
Cosy heatpump assembly line, MOPO battery rental service, BYD R&D visit, Uraine innovating a distributed green grid. Some personal highlights from @OctopusEnergy #energytechsummit Thank you @gjuk.bsky.social for including us customers. #londonclimateweek

Thank you for a very inspiring and positive day at the #EnergyTechSummit So much thought provoking conversation and proof that we can change things for the better. And the best bar ever! 🥂 😂 @octopus.energy @gjuk.bsky.social
Glad you enjoyed #EnergyTechSummit — and totally hear you on the wider health angle. It’s an important part of the conversation and definitely something we’ll keep in mind as we think about next year.
Great to meet @philiprsteele.co.uk in person @octopus.energy #EnergyTechSummit #techHero #AgilePhil
I had an absolute blast at the Octopus #EnergyTechSummit today. Talks spanned everything from AI to the Universe, EVs to marketing.
I’ve come away feeling inspired, energised… and full of wine.
Great to see lovely people like @timwaskett.bsky.social, @speaktothegeek.co.uk & @sarahgogreen.com too!
Carefully shot big plushy octopus so the Battersea Power Station towers are in the background
I think @octopus.energy missed a trick by not having an inflatable octopus over Battersea Power Station for #EnergyTechSummit for the #PinkFloyd fans
@octopus.energy Fabulous event! Is there a way to feedback ideas and inspiration? #energytechsummit

or scroll through my account or the hashtag
#EnergyTechSummit @rory-sutherland.bsky.social: Petrol stations are the peacocks of roads; electric chargers are hidden away behind industrial parks
#EnergyTechSummit @rory-sutherland.bsky.social: we're spending billions to reduce range anxiety in electric cars by increasing range, we should instead make chargers more visible. Maybe by putting them at petrol stations
#EnergyTechSummit @rory-sutherland.bsky.social: Paradigm shifts are not easy to achieve becsue you can't quantify every single piece of it
#EnergyTechSummit @rory-sutherland.bsky.social: in 1969 Volkswagen Beetle showed a phot of the Lunar Lander with the slogan "it's ugly, but it gets you there" [also both initially built by Nazis]
#EnergyTechSummit @rory-sutherland.bsky.social: How do you make using a train journey more enjoyable then using a car? [ this is the secret sauce of electric bikes - they are more fun tham electric cars-km]
