French energy regulator grants Symphonics sandbox access to the special grid-scale battery network tariff currently available only on medium/high-voltage. This network tariff incentives countercyclical battery behaviour: the network tariff pays to discharge during demand peaks and vice versa […]

I will commission a study on what the climate impact would be if every liberal who rents a car in the USA were to demand that it be an EV. I will help work to raise the money for that analysis to be done as a clarification after checking my wallet. What about every bus tourer too?

"EU governments could ask households and businesses to cut their energy use as the war in the Middle East drives up prices and threatens oil and gas supplies" If only there were a simple way to reduce energy consumption in transport and heating by a factor of 3 […]

@EarthOrgUK that's a pretty comprehensive account of how things were 20 years ago. Out of curiosity I went looking at what it would cost to do the same thing now. Solar panels are far cheaper; I can see 20w kits with basic charge controllers available for under £30 (I bought one for under £10 […]

“we show that even if HPs and EVs were powered solely by gas-fired power stations, they would use half as much fossil fuel as modern gas boilers or combustion-engine vehicles.” iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/…

I was accused of being sensationalist or exaggerating when our 2022 research paper predicted one in 15 visible points in the sky would be a moving satellite. I think maybe we were actually too conservative. I hate this so very very much.

“As climate and nature risks increasingly affect productivity, growth, inflation and the resilience of the financial system, taking them into account falls squarely within our mandate.” www.ecb.europa.eu//press/key/date/2…

The case for the green transition is therefore no longer solely an environmental one. It is also very much a competitiveness, resilience and security argument. By reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels, a more electrified, renewables-based energy system strengthens strategic autonomy, makes the economy better able to absorb shocks and reduces exposure to energy price volatility, which may also, through indirect and second-round effects, affect headline inflation over time.
