Ed Miliband to make big #Energy announcement that…

‘…will include speeding up the warm homes plan to encourage the rapid take-up of solar panels and electric vehicles; expanding the use of solar on public land; and delinking gas and electricity prices, to cut consumers’ bills.’

This is huge and positive…why such negative imagery from #Guardian ?!

#Lithium shortages could hit by #2028 as #EV demand surges
EVs account for 72% to 80% of lithium demand across scenarios. Under the Country Pledges pathway, EVs reach about 75% of global vehicle sales by 2040. Under a #NetZero pathway, that climbs to 95%.
By mid-century, rechargeable #batteries across all uses make up 96% to 98% of total lithium demand.
No matter which transition path the world takes, lithium demand is set to outpace current supply plans.

The #Libs and the #Nats are truly bizarre being disparaging of government advice to reduce fuel consumption. To blame #Labor is equally bizarre, given their support for their poster-boy #Trump. The real lesson is to accelerate the push for #NetZero and beyond. Paterson & Canavan are equally repugnant.

Direct Air Capture (DAC) and Carbon Sequestration are redefining #ClimateTech.

Instead of just reducing emissions, we can now remove CO2 directly from the atmosphere using advanced #CarbonRemovalTechnology.

A key step toward achieving #NetZero emissions and building scalable #SustainableTechnology solutions.

A wave of low-cost electric trucks is heading for Australia

Diesel trucks are the backbone of the national supply chain, but figures buried in recent sales data could mark the beginning of the end for these kings of the road.
