Sprimg is clearly coming. Southwest UK electricity is 87% solar, 11% gas -yet that 10% still means mid-afternoon electricity has a 44g/kWh CO2 cost. Gas is not a "carbon transition" fuel -it is a CO2 source the way solar power isn't.

Tomorrow I'll charge our car from our own 15 y.o solar panels, going from 38% to 70% from our own zero CO2 source.

So far this year we have put in 40 kWh of electricity; 20 kWh a month. From now until September I should be able to do it completely at home for day-to-day use and the outbound half of longer journeys

Screenshot of the power grid reporting app for the UK. It has a pie chart showing 9 tenths of the pie is solar, the remaining 10% is gas.

Climate Trump and future of NetZero byteseu.com/791070/ #Climate #ClimateChange #DonaldTrump #GlobalWarming #NetZero

Bytes Europe · Climate Trump and future of NetZeroNeoliberals and green activists lament the shift away from a global consensus on climate action, such as the Paris Agreements.  But Climate Trump is a wake-up call for all economies and communities to deal with the top-down ambition of NetZero, by using bottom-up self-help strategies.  The former approach, such as the Global Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ), in which the leading banks, fund managers and insurance companies would refuse to lend or invest in companies or countries that do not comply with Net Zero or ESGs, was always more stick than carrot.  With Trump pushing for de-regulation, including in

InstaVolt's Winchester charging station is coming together, placed perfectly for a trip to Portsmouth and back.
As well as 30+ car bays, they are adding drive-through bays for people towing their caravans from London to the south coast

They've 500 kW of solar + a 4 MWh battery. They can store their electricity until needed – & in winter they can charge it with off peak power.

They're even adding things like a play area for kids & a café. This is the future of motorway service stations

BP officially embraces climate change -because their competitors who embraced high carbon are delivering higher returns to shareholders.

FWIW in the UK, the BP EV charger network are notorious for unreliability, primarily due to a lack of investment in newer chargers. They have a network of underpowered chargers that rarely support payment by debit cards or apple/google pay. Avoid.

Clearly their HQ has decided not to invest in it. I wonder how long it'll survive at all.

"Overall, this is a very welcome report from the #ClimateChangeCommittee with a robust analysis that lets the #government, industry and citizens know that the pathway to #netzero is possible and very much needed. However, it does place enormous responsibility on some key #technologies and their rapid roll out to achieve these goals."

Despite what Farage and Reform might claim,

"The #NetZero sector is growing three times faster than the overall #UK economy, analysis has found, providing high-wage jobs across the country while cutting climate-heating emissions and increasing energy security.

Net zero businesses accounted for 1.1% of the UK’s total GVA, making it bigger than the farming and advertising and market research sectors." And growing fast.
