The reality of energy abundance due to cheaper than ever electricity is going to be interesting in coming decades.
Jim Farley, CEO of Ford, waxes lyrical about EVs:
More news from Australia, this time the figures from the financial year just finished:
I don’t have a copy, but apparently the Economist has some good news:
UK Labor to expand renewables, with a bit more nuclear:
Researchers from twenty institutions have developed a plan to prevent the extinction of endangered species with as little land and financial expenditure as possible. The group writes in the journal “Frontiers in Science” that this would only require 1.2 percent of the land area, spread over almost 17,000 sites, which are referred to as “conservation imperatives”.

I think these channels are well worth bookmarking, even if you’re not a Red Dwarf fan:
There’s definitely a sense that the energy transition is actually happening, and Robert Llewellyn’s crew do a great job of telling the tale as it happens. I mean he even got Ford CEO Jim Farley on for a full hour’s podcast just the other day.
Give it a go, well worth it, and if you’re in Sydney, the live shows might be worth attending.
Cold winter coming to UK early this year, already hitting record lows around and about.
The plants were right…
But to keep this post on the good news front, I’ll be going sledging!
Mexico just elected a climate scientist as president. She will face significant challenges in transitioning Mexico’s energy infrastructure, but at least someone who knows the situation is now living in the National Palace, so I’ll count that as good news all things considered
