If #wind and #solar were not curtailed due to #coal being incapable of going below their base load, then renewables would have met 113% of Australia's energy demand over the weekend.

A lot of people argue they wont use self serve checkouts at supermarkets, because it takes someone's job away, if you want to help jobs, then order online! staff roam the store picking your stuff, warehouse staff pack it, and a delivery driver delivers it, (in an EV van sometimes) #jobs #groceries

Ferrari’s first EV is here. It’s called the Elettrica. €500K, 530km range, and a sound system that hums like it’s proud of itself.
and doesn't even come with doors, floor, seats, or wheels, as you can see.

yep, at least with our secong gen LEAF, you can set an E=Pedal, which is one pedal driving and turns off creep mode, and it stays off thankfully.

80% of people globally want stronger climate action. So yes, humanity agrees. Now we just need governments and billionaires to agree. what can you do and how much impact will it have? i have gone renewable home, EVs and why I'm a big fan of Work from home, removing the need to travel.

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) just earned a Nobel Prize. They’re the immune system’s peacekeepers — balancing defense and restraint. Too few? Autoimmune disease. Too many? Cancer risk, Pollution from Fossil fuels effects Treg cells. and can influence disease risks. theconversation.com/how-pollutio...

How pollution and the microbiome interact with Tregs, the immune system regulators whose discovery was honored with the Nobel Prize

Researchers are gaining insights into how external factors like air pollutants, diet and medications, and even microbes in the gut interact with regulatory T cells, for better or for worse.

Merri-bek council is trialling overhead EV charging for homes without driveways. Because cables on the ground are illegal, but cables in the air are apparently fine.

Why do #EVs have Creep mode?
the feature that makes your car roll forward when you’re doing absolutely nothing. Still in most EVs. why? Why do we need to be reminded how bad petrol cars were? there is a reason we chose to drive EV

this is a nice rendering by @nickevershed.bsky.social but, er, it definitely shows coal power output remaining persistently high even as renewable energy grows, which feels like a problem
