We already know that incentivizing EVs can stimulate adoption but in case you wonder about the demand for the other type of EVs aka e-bikes, here are a few numbers: — California: The queue to apply for California’s new e-bike incentive program, which offered 1,500 vouchers, reached 100,000 people.

As the Trump regime is hiding information on health and the environment, we can push back by ensuring #Wikipedia does not hide from research. We might feel powerless on the other side of the pond, but we can help fight censorship. 1/2

Punchy stuff from @octopus.energy on the UK's £22bn investment in CCUS - saying it would be better spent on renewables. “Some of the stuff we’re doing is the equivalent of trying to defend the abacus industry once calculators had been invented." www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

Listening to a cool #GSI talk from @doctorvive.bsky.social on language of climate change (CC) and climate politics. Three practical tips :)!

As I wrote last week: "As other information sources fall, Wikipedia’s stubborn independence becomes more vital than ever. The attacks from [the right] aren't just about an online encyclopedia — they're part of a broader assault on any information source that refuses to be controlled."

This was one of my bigger culture shocks when I moved to the UK. Suddenly, it's part of your identity to be a cyclist, rather than the easiest way to get places.

Delighted to share that Cormac Lynch successfully defended his thesis on structural change in the low-carbon transition! 🎓🌍 #PhD. He found: 1. The transition is highly uneven, with winners and losers 2. Human "stranded capital" larger than physical 3. Fair decision-making requires new tools

#longcovid does have this tendency to bite back repeatedly. Just last month, I felt I was back to normal, just needed to look out for reinfection. Overextended, and back to my routine of resting after every physical activity..

My partner didn't know CO2 emissions are still rising Is that a common misperception? Does that explain some of the backlash against climate policy?
