I've installed the full stack of renewable tech since 2014.
EVs (2014 - £14k, 2018 - £22k)
Solar+battery (2022 - £6k)
Home energy storage (2023 - 7kwh, £2.3k)
Heatpump (2024 - £3.5k)
I've saved >£25k in fuel & literally tonnes (>80mt) of co2.
I would highly recommend going to this show.

The restraint and dignity that Martha displayed in the face of MTG at her worst was incredible, I really hope this interaction will speak to all decent Americans watching.
I love that a US reporter stood by Martha demanding an answer to her question ✊

I've always had a deep desire to build hydraulic sliding doors in my house that make the same sound as half-life 1 doors.
Sounds like the perfect midlife crisis project .. 👌

My banking app has removed a simple menu structure to manage the app settings...
Now you have to have a 'conversation' with an ai bot just to access some simple features. FFS
This is the opposite to progress.

I was looking up at the moon tonight & thinking how it's so easy to think top & bottom are it's north and south poles. (was pondering it due to the athena lander at sth pole) ..
When in actual fact it's poles run left to right as viewed from UK. 🧭🌕

I'm sure they won't be poached by China or Russia..... tbf I doubt a career nasa-ite would defect to other countries, they'll just get snapped up by a billionaire to earn them a few more quick bucks.
But definitely another chapter skipped on the bullet train to idiocracy.

It's my target next car .. super efficient < 0.20 Cd, modest battery size, making the most of the low drag, otherwise has all the features I would ever need.
I'll likely wait for a pre registered/demonstrator though, because yes I'm that cheap.

Gorillas will beat their chests 🙄 .. I have one in my workplace that goes out of his way to tell me how his new vehicle gets less mpg than his last.
To be fair he has been less noisy in the last year or so .. I imagine his family/friends (probably wife! 😆) have gone electric.

Big energy having their Toyota 'self charging' moment.
CCS is complete snake oil, but 'sounds right' to luddite politicians who either fear change, or are simply appeasing their true paymasters. 🛢️
2024 is not the time to be kicking the co2 can further down the road. 😑🌍🌡️

He'll only ever be a resident of the Whitehouse.
Hopefully his residency is cut short.
I feel bad for all the people who believe him.

So true.
I used to feel somewhat skilled at building search strings that returned topical, useful, results .. but these days search results are more akin to a haystack to find a needle in!

I know a few farmers.
They work hard & I respect that.
But none of them are remotely short of money.

the phrase 'good for nothing' is overdue a renaissance, especially with the abundance of context in which it fits these days. 🙂
