There's only two types of people in this world. Those who have solar, and those who will have solar. It's a 40yr investment. Choose wisely. solar-power.co.uk

Wind and solar supplied 33% of EU electricity in the 12 months to August 2026, against 29% from fossil. In 2016 it was 13% and 43%.

Wow. Here’s a bit of kit at Larne Harbour, NI. I guess for installing & maintaining wind turbines at sea. Fantastic

Visited the Bushmills Distillery, NI yesterday. A couple of bottles may have been purchased

Lovely visit to the Giants Causeway today. Great job @nationaltrust Thank you John B for the guided tour

Isn't it funny that data is the Achilles heel of all Anti EV types. This bit of information has got them frothing at the mouth. Their reply will not be factual, instead it will be an emotional outburst of tripe..... or personal abuse.

“EVs Are Less Likely to Fail the MOT. Even With 100,000+ Miles” study finds. BVRLA and New Automotive analysed 47.4 million MOT tests and found that at lower mileages, EVs and petrol cars perform remarkably similarly. At around 20–40,000 miles, both are failing at roughly 12%. But once the mileage gets above about 60,000 miles, the curves start to separate. At 90–120,000 miles: 🔋 EVs: 16.5% failed ⛽ Petrol: 22.1% failed That makes the high-mileage EV around 25% less likely to fail its MOT. And above 120,000 miles, the gap gets bigger still: 🔋 EV: 16% ⛽ Petrol: 23.5% So that idea that a 100,000-mile EV is automatically a gamble? Well, the MOT data really doesn’t support it. (Neither does battery health stats) Obviously, an MOT doesn’t tell you battery health, but when it comes to the stuff an MOT actually measures, the high-mileage EVs are doing rather well.

Retweet if you believe Netanyahu is a war criminal.

Leapmotor just killed the 12V battery! 🙌 The Achilles Heel of many an EV is set to be a thing of the past. Their newly announced CTC 3.0 pack folds the low-voltage supply into the main high-voltage battery. Lights, wipers, screens, everything now runs from capacity managed inside the HV pack. No more separate 12V battery that goes flat or needs replacing every few years. They claim 7x the low-voltage capacity of a normal 12V unit and say it should be maintenance-free for the life of the car. Patents are being open-sourced too. This lands on the new LEAP 5.0 architecture. First cars on it will come from an entirely new (as yet unannounced) second brand, due to start deliveries in Q4 2027. Apparently this would be the first car in over 70+ years not carrying a separate 12V battery. 🤓

They killed the Honda e after just a few years. Julian has had his since the release in 2020. Was it a brilliant city car Honda should have kept developing, or a stylish dead end? September Reader’s Review is up now. ⚡️Take a look👇 ctrlaltrefuel.co.uk/blogs/dz…

Now THIS is incredible. 26 decommissioned wind turbines from Scotland's first commercial wind farm were - wait for it - 99.9% recycled?!! Less than 0.1% of their materials into landfill. And 100% of the recycling taking place here in the UK! Blimey. What a game changer.

Yesterday #wind produced 30.5% of GB electricity followed by gas 21.8%, imports 13.6%, nuclear 11.6%, biomass 10.2%, solar 7.5%, hydro 2.4%, other 2.3%, *excl. non-renewable distributed generation

Yesterday #wind produced 54.6% of British electricity followed by gas 14.3%, nuclear 11.4%, biomass 6.9%, solar 6.8%, imports 4.4%, other 1.0%, hydro 0.5%, *excl. non-renewable distributed generation

Yesterday #wind generated 46.9% of GB electricity, more than gas 13.2%, nuclear 12.6%, biomass 8.9%, imports 8.7%, solar 7.2%, other 1.6%, hydro 0.9%, *excl. non-renewable distributed generation

I find it genuinely disturbing that people are now publishing identifiable photographs of individual @RNLI crew members and directing hostility towards them for carrying out search-and-rescue operations. I am deliberately not reproducing the posts, the photographs or the account concerned. These people do not deserve further exposure simply because somebody wants to make a political point. Whatever anyone thinks about immigration, Channel crossings or government policy, targeting individual RNLI crew members is completely unacceptable. These men and women are not setting immigration policy. They are not deciding who may enter Britain. They are not running Border Force. They are not working with people smugglers. They are responding to search-and-rescue taskings coordinated by @HMCoastguard and doing what lifeboat crews exist to do, saving people whose lives may be at risk. Many RNLI crew members are volunteers. They leave their homes, families and jobs when called, and sometimes put themselves in danger to save complete strangers. Criticise the Government. Criticise French enforcement. Criticise immigration policy. Argue that the boats should be stopped before they ever leave France. I certainly do. But publishing photographs of individual rescuers and portraying them as personally responsible for an “invasion” crosses a very different line. These are human beings with families of their own, carrying out a rescue role. They should never become targets because somebody dislikes the immigration policy that exists around the people they are sent to save. The RNLI saves lives. That should not require its crews to look over their shoulders afterwards.

The math isn't mathing.  The world spends more than three times as much on fossil fuel subsidies as it would cost to transition to clean economies for a safe climate and air.  The solutions are ready and the money is there. What’s needed now is action at scale.  Here’s how: bit.ly/3UFnsYq #CleanAirDay

On Sunday #wind produced 43.8% of GB electricity, more than nuclear 16.6%, gas 13.5%, biomass 9.8%, solar 9.7%, imports 4.5%, other 1.2%, hydro 0.9%, *excl. non-renewable distributed generation
