More older Australians should go electric, says 95yo EV driver

A 95-year-old man who once delivered goods using a horse and cart, is one of the oldest people in Australia to own and drive an electric vehicle.

The Driven
To counter the deluge of fossil fuel promotions I make no apology of probably sharing this repeatedly. It’s been around for nearly a year now. Please boost - counter the stealthy propaganda clout of the wealthy by relentless co-operative citizen sharing. ‘The first truthful oil company ad’ https://yellowdotstudios.com/chevron-ad/ @weareyellowdot

We can't believe that Chevron asked Adam McKay to make an ad for him.

Solar update:
The sun kindly came out at 12:30 today so I got 5.129kW generation by 3pm the sun has moved onto the SW side of the house, so I was down to 1.502kW (29.3% of the peak). On the plus side, that meant the sun had moved round to the back garden, so my socks could dry 🧦🌞

The morning was cloudy, so I don't have a full sunny day charge curve yet (I'm only on day 2)

Today was my very first day of generating solar power at home

I was very excited to wake up to winter sunshine but it didn't last and it was mostly a typical grey February day. The sun did peek out at lunchtime and I briefly saw over 5kW 😀

Anyway, 8kWh is a start 👍

Renewables will be world's top electricity source within three years, IEA data reveals - Carbon Brief

Renewables will cover almost all of global electricity demand growth out to 2025, becoming the world’s top source of electricity within three years.

I can’t afford an #ElectricCar. I don’t want an electric car. President #biden can keep his charging stations and/or stick ‘em. #publictransit

We don’t need oil and gas for another decade. We can’t keep burning oil and gas for another decade. We could put up #renewablesenergy all over the country, tomorrow.

Public ownership of the power grid!

A minor mod but seeing as it was a simple one I've quickly added a wind map to the forecast page: terravolt.co.uk/uk-grid/wind-output-forecasts

Renewable Energy Will Surpass Coal as a Source of Electricity by 2025

“This is a clear example of how the current energy crisis can be a historic turning point towards a cleaner and more secure energy system.”

My Modern Met

The global energy crisis has triggered unprecedented momentum behind renewables, with the world set to add as much renewable power in the next 5 years as it did in the past 20.

The report sees emerging signs of diversification in global PV supply chains. While China remains the dominant player, its share in global manufacturing capacity could decrease from 90% today to 75% by 2027. #iae #climatechange #renewablesenergy
