"The total abandonment of the broad political consensus for #NetZero by parties on the right of #UKPolitics – and by US president Donald Trump’s Republican administration in Washington – is causing serious alarm inside the UK government."

The Guardian · Miliband in blistering attack on Farage’s UK net zero ‘nonsense and lies’By Toby Helm

Good stuff from #EdMiliband

I hope he wins the fight in govt against those who think squeezing every last drop of fossil fuel from the North Sea & then starting fracking on-land is the way to go.

Emphasis is needed that #NetZero is the way to lower bills in the long term with jobs & prosperity. It's win-win for ordinary people & the #climate

The Guardian · Tories and Reform use the steel crisis to knock clean energy. They’re wrong: it will secure all our futuresBy Ed Miliband

"Our research finds that in every #UK constituency #voters say they are more worried about #climatechange than not, and most see #renewableenergy as the path to energy security, jobs and #cheaperenergy."

The Guardian · Miliband in blistering attack on Farage’s UK net zero ‘nonsense and lies’By Toby Helm

This site is the future of service stations: banks of chargers (45 x350 kW, kids play area, cafe and toilets *and the complete silence of an EV site*. So many chargers that normal app- based charger selection UIs can't cope -too many to scroll through.

The solar panels at the site mean InstaVolt charge 65p/kWh - we sat in the sun and let the car charge up to 80%, even as the charge rate dropped to 40 kW. No need to feel guilty

“High energy prices are absolutely not created by #NetZero policies. Britain is acutely exposed to fluctuations in gas prices, and the gas price also drives UK electricity prices more than in other countries. Britain’s amazing wind resources offer the potential for cheap, stable energy prices. We need to build the infrastructure of clean power so we can have cheap power for decades.”

The Guardian · Rightwing media falsely blame Ed Miliband for UK steel crisis, experts sayBy Helena Horton

InstaVolt extends off-peak charging hours from 20:00-07:00. This must make it very appealing to anybody who doesn't have AC charging options... some of our neighbours just charge once a week at the council charger -this will provide a alternative option nearby with two more charging bays and more reliability.

This makes a lot of sense for them: I've already invested the capital in the chargers and back-end systems, this should keep the chargers busy during quiet times and if it causes some people to reschedule their charging -that provides more capacity at peak times.

Petrol stations never reduce their fuel prices at offbeat times or when it is sunny or windy.

@keithramsey well, except for the fact it is illegal to even encourage people to protest about the fossil fuels anywhere within Bristol Airport.

"The Order prohibits entering, occupying or remaining upon any part of the Airport for the purpose of protesting about fossil fuels or the environment without the prior consent of the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Claimants.
You must not do any of the above acts either yourself or by means of another person acting on your behalf, instructions or encouragement.
You must not contravene the terms of the Order and if you do, you may be in contempt of Court and sent to prison, fined or have your assets seized"
This from an airport which pretends to care about the environment and tries to convince people that future fuels will allow them to expand the airport without any environmental damage
