Explanation of energy policy and the difference in cost between a unit of energy from gas vs electricity. UK-focussed but definitely worth a watch for energy wonks globally

Between January and May, China added 198 GW of solar and 46 GW of wind, enough to generate as much electricity as Indonesia or Turkey.
China’s installed solar photovoltaic capacity has now surpassed 1,000 GW for the first time, equivalent to half of the world’s total installed solar capacity.
The first paragraph of the executive summary:
"New Zealand is transitioning most of its remaining fossil-fuelled generation to renewablesbased intermittent and variable generation. Having a greater proportion of intermittent and
variable generation creates challenges for how the power system operates, including the reliability and security of electricity supply."
Well at least the Professionals get it. Hey Government, ever hear of consulting experts?

This ute's engine is running and he's working behind it. Great move.

Just picked up my rash gamble of a crashed Niu Electric Scooter. I'm well happy, looks like body damage only. 2kWh battery & Bosch motor/controller seem fine. There is a catch though...

Missing the point
Apparently in order to make huge US gas-guzzling utes (trucks) guzzle slightly less gas the manufacturers are putting thinner engine oil in. This is causing engine failures. But they must meet their emissions promises so they're stuck.
Points missed
#1 These are huge trucks. They're never gonna be efficient.
#2 Electric is massively more efficient for the same power.
#3 (Bonus) Alternatives to private vehicles

@codinghorror I can't wait for us to use the tech we have to its full. We can ditch most of our CO2 emissions this way.
Electrify baby!

The government trying to spin this as boosting EV sales when it will do the opposite. More polluting hybrids for longer, pandering to the fossil fuel industry. EVs are pretty much on a par with ICE for new car pricing now. They are cheaper to run (both in fuel costs and maintenance), and don't have the tailpipe emissions of ICE cars. We need to #StopBurningStuff If they want to work on anything, keep on improving the charging infrastructure and cut VAT on public charging https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj3xe7ppmn2o
What an absolute arseball of a "proposal".... 5 measly cameras, only two of which will be on at any time.... With 90 days warning....
All this POS city does is throat cars...... And this is supposed to be our one good, progressive, councillor!?!?!?

Child taken to hospital after being hit by vehicle on Wyandotte Street West https://search.app/qC1Xn6gndKgabbUs9
7 years ago today I got my written-off Tesla legally back on the road. Sadly it was love at first drive as I was only halfway through my fight with Tesla. Having battled & prevailed to get the info needed for the body repair I was just about to find they'd shut down all fast charging on the car. I cleared that hurdle too, eventually.

Even though what Windsor has for Cycling Infrastructure is absolute GARBAGE, everywhere, this is very often me, going to or coming from The University, along Wyandotte, or along Riverside, often even along Tecumseh...
If Windsor wasn't a car centric hellscape, if our so called Bike Advocates actually advocated, if our politicians weren't grifting scumbags, we could be making things better, and better, and better.
The ONLY solution to traffic congestion, is viable, accessible, affordable, alternatives to Car Dependency.

We need far more busses, trains, bikes, trams, scooters, etc etc etc
We also need all the remaining vehicles, be they planes, cars, trucks, whatever, to be electric.
We need to #StopBurningStuff full stop
