Keen interest in renewable energy strangely.

100,000 miles completed in EVs, it’s taken me just over 5 years, never ran out of charge, includes 3 trips across Europe. Currently checking out the French charging infrastructure near Reims in a Kia e Niro.


Looks like Zonal pricing for electricity is not going to happen. It appears the government are quicker to put a lid on that than hydrogen for domestic heating. Shame.

Happy to support a move to zonal electricity pricing, the only savings per zone I can find is from an Ofgem report from 2023. Savings definitely, but not eye watering. Maybe @g__j @sarah_go_green have some more up to date numbers per zone?

£4 billion divided by 28 million customers =£143 that’s the bit missing from this puzzle. It would be nice if these potential savings per customer could be split by zones to inform the debate if someone could be so kind? @g__j

A misconception of zonal pricing is that it’s about relocation Reality is that it brings bills down £4bn/yr by better managing the existing system Less economic rent for generators and much less waste in curtailment and balancing. Good explanation here thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

Did you know Public Health England estimates 28,000 to 36,000 deaths per year can be attributed to long-term exposure to air pollution?😷 Yesterday was #CleanAirDay, so we took a look at how electric vehicles can play a huge role in reducing emissions from the transport sector⚡️

Users of @pod_point chargers beware. They have charged me for a EV charging session that wasn’t my car. They refuse to refund my money hiding behind the “computers say you did” excuse. Think we heard that sort of thing with the sub postmasters. CCTV will prove me right


End of an era today……Gas meter removed from the house. No longer required.

Today's #HydrogenSoufflé comes to you from the UK, where BP has pulled the plug on #HyGreen Teeside, or Germany, where H2 Mobility is shutting 22 hydrogen during stations. Take your pick. h2-view.com/story/bp-cance… ecomento.de/2025/03/04/h2-…

📣 BREAKING: The UK Climate Change Committee now says there’s no role for hydrogen in building heating. That’s study #61 on my list showing little to no role for hydrogen in heating—up from 54 in my meta-review from Dec 2023: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
