Not unique, but very pretty. Often referred to as altocumus of mackerel sky. Looks particularly impressive at sunrise or sunset when it is vivid orange.

What a fantastic photo - irisation and mammatus in the anvil of a mature cumulonimbus.

It took just 15 years to completely transform transportation in China:

🚗 E-cars: 60% (v 1% in 2010)
🚌 E-buses: 95% (1%)
🛵 E-scooters: 99% (30%)
🛺 E-three-wheelers: 99% (40%)
🚄 High-speed rail: 45,000 km (v 6,000 km in 2010)

Unprecedented speed & scale — a transport revolution in real time. ⚡ #EVs

My EV does both. Soft brake when coming to a stop, creep stays on. Hard brake when stopped, "hold" engages and no creep. Best of both worlds.

People think we’d need to cover half of Australia in solar panels — the truth is much different. Replacing all coal power with solar would use less than 0.016% of our land, smaller than Kangaroo Island. The challenge isn’t space, it’s political will, grid upgrades & storage. ☀️⚡ #Solar #Lithium #LFP

The electric era isn’t next — it’s now. ⚡ #EV #EnergyTransition

A number of technologies are suitable.
Flow batteries, compressed air, flywheels, pumped hydro.
But mostly flow batteries.

The performative mourning driven by social media, was from blueprints sitting there in large conservative think-tanks like the Heritage Foundation, waiting to be deployed

The alleged outrage was at its core, manufactured recreational grief-bait

Climate change is not just impacting Australia and your constituents David - it is seriously impacting the home of all humanity.
That this is such a dismissive issue for some who will not have much longer on this planet is highly offensive to younger people beyond belief.

Interested to know how it will handle unusual situations, like narrow roads without line markings, wildlife incursions, dirt roads and associated risks, soft shoulders, crests, and tracks or roads not on Google Maps?
There is a lot more to Aussie roads than lane selection.

More EV brands should be getting on board with this. The tech is already there, just needs to be switched on.

Xi surprised the UN climate summit by pledging GHGs 7–10% below peak by 2035, ≥30% non-fossil energy & 3,600 GW wind+solar. Strong symbolism—but underplays progress. China’s CO₂ already fell ~1% in H1 2025, the first historical drop, powered by renewables, #EV & #BESS boom racing past pledges. 🌍⚡

Spring equinox only a few hours away now...
Nice to have some warmth back.

I don't understand the appeal of a hybrid???

To be even more specific, a lot of outback fast chargers in Australia are not even on an electricity grid.

“Well, this is just going from bad to worse.”

All the world’s fossil fuel reserves (~37,000 EJ) = just 5 days of sunlight (~50,000 EJ) 🤯. Fossils are old sunshine; solar is real-time & unlimited. Harvest only a sliver & with battery storage we can power homes, cars, industry, nations. The sun is all we need ⚡☀️ #Lithium #LFP #BESS #Energy

Premier Danielle Smith and U.S. President Donald Trump are weaponizing the powers of the state against wind and solar energy generation.
