I hope Rachel Reeves recognizes that #EV drivers already effectively pay a #fuelduty of around 0.5p/mile in #VAT on electricity to charge at home (double if fast charger used). Maybe my
#Free100 idea would be better than a per mile charge that will slow adoption!

Time to reflect. As someone once said (and think it’s true of the upper levels of US govt today): the wheel is spinning, but the hamster is dead…

Got our ground source heat pumps up and running yesterday. Operating at a paltry ~650% efficiency! PS we had two installed (and are 3-phase).

Death is a thief, it takes and keeps all that a person is, the person was, and was going to be! 17 years ago now. Sad to think about all he has missed in that time!

I think this is the new place to be! Welcome refugee #energytwitter! (Picture from my walk last night)

A couple of weeks ago (@EnergySystemsIG), I announced that @VibrantCE, @CatalystCoop, @GridLabEnergy, Pattern Energy have released the RARE power dataset. If you want it, too, just go here: zenodo.org/records/139375… (or download with PUDL - a great resource BTW).

Second great (short) video created by @catalyst.coop (this time of the solar data).

Great (short) video created by @catalyst.coop of the wind data. @ricoconnell.bsky.social

Very excited to be releasing this open-source dataset for use by power planners and modelers, alike. This will fill a gap in data needs for long term planning and resource adequacy studies!

What a quote!

About bloody time! #courts #decision
