France Moved First, But Markets Everywhere Are Signaling Electrification - CleanTechnica

The Iran war exposed fossil dependence. France announced electrification support, while EV, heat pump, solar, and battery signals are rising globally.

Want to know how to raise 15 tonnes of metal up 67m with only a handful of small #solar panels? Put them on a #narrowboat!

Had a lovely week on Arthur Owl out of Droitwich. Electric running is amazing, almost silent. This boat does have a diesel generator for backup and gas for heating, so not totally fossil free, but we did do the whole Tardebigge flight on just what was coming in via the very smart solar roof panels. #ElectrifyEverything

@abcfeeds of course it’s not. We have enough methane gas but sell it overseas so we now don’t have enough. If we find more oil we don’t have enough refineries so we will sell it overseas. It’s all a con to get us to allow more exports that we give away to the fossil billionaires. At least tax the buggers!

The only way out is to reduce our fossil fuel consumption.

An electric farm, an electric harvest .... electric everything

Farms need to be electric - because, once this kit is scaled appropriately, on-farm costs will be so much lower.

Electrify Everything

Individuals, community groups and organisations are uniting to electrify everything as this will reduce household energy bills, create healthier homes and resilient communities. Join us!

Well this is bad news. I knew about the risks of cooking with methane gas were being underplayed but had no idea that benzene could be leaking nonstop! Time to electrify!

Cancer-causing chemical found to be leaking from gas cookers

One in 10 homes tested in the UK, Italy and the Netherlands have dangerous levels of benzene because of slow leaks from gas hobs and ovens

View: How the Iran war is playing into China’s hands

China’s long-running bet on renewables is paying off, with the US pivoting hard toward fossil fuels.

Another opinion piece about the unfairness of the fuel excise as EV drivers don’t pay it. It would be fine if the issue was about fairness however it is really about rapidly decarbonising cars. We are faced with a rolling train wreck with our fossil fuel caused climate crisis. We need to electrify everything and now is not the time to talk about taxes the penalise people making the change. Certainly a change is needed to ensure the budget can be balanced but not at the expense of slowing the transition for perceived “fairness”. The system is inherently unfair as it is designed to boost EV sales and drive the transition.

As more EVs hit the road, this gap in our tax system needs fixing

The fuel crisis helps to illustrate why a road user charge makes sense – and why it should happen sooner rather than later.
