At long long last: UK government backs plan to ban gas and ‘hydrogen-ready’ boilers wrote: Delayed consultation could lead to heat pumps being installed as standard in newbuilds in England from 2025... The right way to go... But why delayed by a full decade? Who suffers all the extra costs of that 10-year delay?...

Is this the solution to our dirty oil addiction to nitrogen fertilizers? Europe's Deepest Mine is Not What You Think... Spectacular and spectacularly good. Good for business, and good for our planet. Here's hoping this does cleanly put oil produced nitrogen fertilizer out of business. ... Next is to undo the unsustainable unhealthy farming practices imposed by the greedy supermarket behemoths...

What can so easily and quickly be done: Stung by the 2008 oil price spike, Uruguay now produces up to 98% of its electricity from renewables. Can other countries follow suit?

UK MOD rejects heat pumps and trials alternative Cylo technology alternative. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/12/30/military-trials-cutting-edge-electric-boilers-heat-pumps/ One possible solution is by using Cylo boilers, which the Telegraph understands are currently being fitted in four homes at the Duke of Gloucester Barracks in South Cerney, Glos, as part of a pilot project due to start early in 2024. * Uses existing radiators and pipe work, and power cabling. |

They want something done about the climate so long as it doesn't spoil their views and those selfish NIMBY's will spread conspiracy theories to save that view. Yet they'll watch coal trains and bulk freighters come and go all day from the port. In the Hunter, all eyes are on the horizon. Then when the coal stops altogether what will a lot of them do for a job? |

Instead of banning petrol and diesel cars, there's a multiple of CO2 inefficiencies in the building stock of whole nations which should be addressed first. The article discusses the Eastern European satellite cities consisting of prefabricated housing complexes and their transformation into CO2 efficient, well insulated modern buildings. Such neighborhoods are also typical of the vast majority of all buildings in East German cities built between 1958 and 1990. I grew up in such neighborhoods myself, as did most of my classmates at school. Communist-era apartment blocks dominate Eastern Europe – now they're being transformed wrote: From Prague to Plovdiv, engineers and architects are giving a second life to communist-built apartment blocks in Central and Eastern Europe, ready for the climate change era. |

https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2024/04/22/california-solar-duck-curve-rooftop/ But now, the state and its grid operator are grappling with a strange reality: There is so much solar on the grid that, on sunny spring days when there’s not as much demand, electricity prices go negative. Gigawatts of solar are “curtailed” — essentially, thrown away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zX2n2-acksw&t=360s I thought Electric Cars Were the Future. I Changed My Mind |
