Did a same-day return trip from Coffs Harbour to Sydney and back this year. 1,157 km (719 miles) in one day. Started at 100% from home solar (free), drove 390 km to Newcastle, quick supercharge, down to Sydney, back to Newcastle, another charge, and home with 22% left. Total charging time? ~50 minutes. Coffee, lunch, snack—done anyway. And here’s the context most people miss… This was my most expensive trip of the year. Most days we don’t even crack 400 km—so almost all our driving is powered by free solar at $0. Now the part people don’t get. I ran the numbers vs the Nissan Navara diesel we used to own. 🛢️ Navara (8.8L/100km @ $3.30/L) Fuel used: ~102L Cost: ~$336 ⚡ Tesla Model Y First 390 km: $0 (solar) Remaining distance fast charged @ 51c Total cost: ~$59 💥 Same trip. Same day. $336 → $59 ~5.7× cheaper 50 minutes total charging And here’s the kicker… Even if diesel was $1.70/L like a month ago: → Trip still ~$173 Still nearly 3× more expensive I didn’t change how I travel. Didn’t drive slower. Didn’t plan around charging. I just changed the system. 1,157 km in a day. Charging took 50 minutes—same time I’d stop anyway. This isn’t range anxiety. This is what long-distance driving actually looks like now. #Bettrification

@flameInYoHeart @Pawel_Lachman "Huge" is 3% of net imports in 2026. Poland's energy mix is 16% gas. Where does Poland get this gas? Is it really a huge import?

@Pawel_Lachman Przecież Dania ma ogromną wymianę transgraniczną z krajami będącymi kilkukrotnie większymi od siebie i mającymi sterowalne źródła. Szanujmy się

Wskażcie na tej żółtej linii 📉 moment, w którym OZE miało się: ❌ „skończyć” ❌ „załamać” ❌ „przegrać z fizyką” Ja naliczyłem 6 takich okazji A Dania zrobiła w 25 lat coś bardzo niewygodnego dla zwolenników paliw kopalnych: ⚡ 15% → 92% energii elektrycznej z OZE To jest zmiana systemu., dającą bezpieczeństwo energetyczne 🔄 A paliwa kopalne zostały wypchane po prostu na margines. ⛽⬇️

@denali_65 @Pawel_Lachman What does "mostly" mean? In the first quarter, biomass 18%, net imports 3%. And biomass, unlike gas, is a domestic European product. Against 61% of the wind. And yes, 🇩🇰 prices are falling, while for those who love the gases of sheikhs and dictators, prices are rising

@Pawel_Lachman To pokazuje jak drogie i niewydajne jest PV i FW OZE skoro malutka Dania mająca inercję od sąsiadów, i tak większość z OZE ma stabilnej biomasie. Pomijając już to ile Dania energii importuje.

BYD cars selling like hotcakes in the Philippines - the worst hit Asian nation as fuel prices surge on the Iran War. Even the showroom units have largely been scooped up by consumers looking to avoid $9/gallon diesel. No new units until June!

@G_H_Fischer @agata_loskot Strong winds and further forecasts for growth in renewable energy sources for electricity and heating. There are ways to reduce gas consumption affordably. That's why gas prices aren't rising as sharply during the crisis as they will in 2022. Green Economy

@agata_loskot My current thinking is: Gulf LNG is not critical to EU supply, price effects are mainly indirectly through (upon re-opening slightly) tighter global LNG market. So the market trusts in crisis resolution in the medium term (weeks), as still at the very start of injection season.

This is definitely good! #TTF

@Braffus @solarpapst @Sowied85 The most expensive wholesale price is, of course, in Italy and Hungary due to gas generation and love for Russia. Denmark, despite its high taxes, is roughly in the middle. Portugal and Spain are the cheapest thanks to their large share of renewable energy sources.

@solarpapst @Sowied85 Dass dem Genossen als einziges Beispiel ein EU-Land einfällt, indem man es mit dem Ausbau von EE noch mehr übertrieben hat, spricht nicht wirklich dafür, noch mehr EE auszubauen 😂 😂😂

Fossile Energiekrise auf der ganzen Welt: Wegen des Iran-Kriegs explodieren die Preise für Öl und Gas. Doch die deutschen Börsenstrompreise sinken hingegen. Experten sagen: Das hat vor allem mit der #Energiewende zu tun. focus.de/earth/iran-kri…

@solarpapst @Sowied85 Of course, the most expensive electricity is in Italy, Hungary, Switzerland, and the Baltic countries. Not in Denmark. energy-charts.info/charts/price_a…

@Sowied85 Lügner, in Dänemark ist Strom teuerer

I told our American partners they could understand whether Putin wanted peace by finding answers to the issues as follows: First, try to organize a meeting at the level of leaders to discuss territories. Putin has refused. Second, if he doesn't want to continue the aggression after a ceasefire, propose deploying American and European soldiers along the contact line. Putin’s response was, “No, no foreign soldiers of any kind”. Why? This can only mean he wants to go forward. Third, he has around 17 million square kilometers of land. Yet, he tells Americans, “Look, what’s the problem? It's only about 6,000 square kilometers”. Can you imagine that someone who has millions of square kilometers, 70% of which is underdeveloped and doesn’t have proper infrastructure, is asking for more? Do we really believe that all he needs is an additional 5,800 square kilometers? This is not his goal. Donbas is a strategic place in Ukraine. Once he has our industrial cities and fortifications in the region, there are only open fields and direct roads to our regional capitals. What I mean is that we understand why he wants Donbas. From an interview on The Rest Is Politics podcast (4/5).

@think_gpt @ZloyDevOps Это мир любителей присосаться к нефти шейхов и всяких диктаторов и их спонсоров. Через одну машины не проедут и 150-250к без капиталки. Современные электромобили легко проедут 0,5-1млн км. Чел из Германии на последней батарее и электромоторе на тесле уже 1 млн км без поломок

@ZloyDevOps Ахахах, ну тогда не буду портить настроение жителю мира голубых единорогов и машин разваливающихся на 100к.

Конечно в ретроспективе тесла оказалась еще более выгодной покупкой. Я считал что тесла за 5 лет владения выйдет дешевле чем новое бензиновое/дизельное авто стоимостью даже 32000 евро при условии стоимости бензина €1.6 за литр. А в текущих условиях Тесла просто вне конкуренции.

For the Trump administration to understand: The Strait of Hormuz is NOT OPEN. The UAE does not and will NEVER accept the Islamic regime in Iran imposing CONDITIONS on access. The UAE is not Britain or the EU. It does not accept any terrorist actor restricting freedom of navigation. As for Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia negotiating to keep the regime afloat, understand this: no state has a legitimate right to decide who may pass and under what terms. That is international law, not a bargaining chip. Shame on United Kingdom, NATO, European Union, and anyone who tolerates this regime’s terrorism and piracy.

@prof_preobr @tikhondzyadko Таки причем тут цена нефти если дело в том что у некоторых стран тупо дефицит наличия нефти? И да, судя по росту продаж электромобилей в мире, это убьет экономику. Экономику углеводородицы. Нефть по 100$ ( и газ выше 40€ за МВтч) это уже крест на экономике углеводородицы.

@tikhondzyadko Когда в 2026 году цена нефти 1 месяц была выше 100 долларов - "мировая экономика начала накрываться медным тазом". А когда в 2011-14 годах цена нефти более 40 месяцев подряд была выше 100 долларов - не начала. Тут какое-то колдунство, наверное.

Дональд Трамп начал войну с Ираном, Иран перекрыл Ормузский пролив, мировая экономика начала накрываться медным тазом, Трамп договорился с Ираном о перемирии, Ормузский пролив открыт - Трамп говорит о невероятном успехе, ведь Иран открыл пролив! Напоминает анекдот про "купи козу".

@pelifosoff @tikhondzyadko @RosUznik Если не собирается помогать то не пиздеть, что собирается помогать. Людей бы меньше повесили (а заодно пытали и насиловали если кто не в курсе фактов о тоталитаризме). Выглядело так, что он помогал найти ксир кого бы повесить. Помогал найти неблагонадежных на фоне кризиса

@tikhondzyadko @RosUznik Что он должен был сделать? Разъебать к чертям КСИР? Ну он разъебал. Убил почти всё руководство. Тихон, подскажи, проведи аналитику.

Одна из самых ярких и страшных деталей «непредсказуемости» Трампа - судьба протестовавших в январе иранцев. Помните, как он говорил, что «помощь в пути», призывал штурмовать правительственные здания и брать власть? А еще обещал вмешаться, помочь, а потом сказал, что он сумел остановить казни протестующих, а потому и вмешиваться не надо? Так вот, протестующих продолжают вешать - на днях были повешены еще двое. Ну а Трамп говорит о том, что «одержал победу на 100 процентов».

@Itsahoax123 @giveashitnature @FollowTheScien4 Nuclear power plants need to refuel for 1.5 months every 2 years, and they have accidents. Unstable thermal power plants operating on coal and gas on average in the world provide a capacity factor of 40-75% and require reserves

@giveashitnature @FollowTheScien4 "No single energy source covers every hour" "Be honest and tell the full story." Coal, gas, nuclear - all cover EVERY hour of the day without the irregularities that solar and wind suffer.

A zoo in Belgium turned its parking lot into one of the largest solar power plants in the world. Pairi Daiza, voted Europe's best zoo, covered 80% of its 7,000 parking spaces with 62,750 solar panels. The installation produces 20 megawatts of peak power, which is more than the entire zoo consumes. The surplus charges electric vehicles at onsite stations and sells the rest back to the grid. It's the largest solar carport in the world, and it was built on land that was already paved, over cars that were already there. Nobody had to choose between wilderness and energy production. Covering all existing US parking lots with solar panels could generate 1.7 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity, which would power half the country. Why aren't we funding this?

@uulrich046 @ChristophBeisl1 @JulianS32015798 Not "up to 20 billion," but already 15 B and 12 billion next year. RES is getting cheaper, and old, expensive contracts are expiring. Furthermore, these are the types of contracts that are paid for by nuclear worldwide, and they are more expensive than modern renewable energy.

@ChristophBeisl1 @JulianS32015798 Warum dann bis zu 20Mrd. EEG im Jahr? Können Sie und die anderen dauerschnorrenden EE-Lobbyisten unser Geld dann bitte wieder zurückzahlen und in Zukunft darauf verzichten?

Gestern wurde mit 52.135 MW ein neuer Allzeit-Photovoltaikrekord aufgestellt. Die Gründe: -Permanenter PV-Zubau -Wolkenloser Himmel über ganz Deutschland -Noch kühle Temperatur für guten Wirkungsgrad der Module -Werktag, d.h. der ganze PV-Strom konnte genutzt werden

@EngelJoachim @Kl_Stone If there aren't any construction contracts, it's another 15-20 years until the next nuclear power plant is built. By then, Belgium will have zero operating nuclear power plants. Solar and wind power will take their place.

@runrunfrom1900 @Kl_Stone

Es sind ja in #Belgien auch nur noch zwei #AKW von ursprünglich sieben. Fünf belgische AKW wurden bereits in den letzten 3 Jahren endgültig stillgelegt.

‼️‼️ US OFFICIALS: The talks in Pakistan on Friday will be based on Iran’s 10 Point Plan not Trump’s 15 point plan. Trump caved. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

@ifeeltheneed_ @DrSimEvans Because China is pushing them out of global markets with its EVs. Those who didn't invest or invested little in new technologies in 2015-2020 suffered losses today and will be left without markets tomorrow.

@DrSimEvans Major automakers are facing immense financial losses on EV’s with a total estimated loss of $55 billion in write-downs and project cancellations by early 2026 due to overestimated demand…

UK BEV sales jump 24% year-on-year in March 2026, the first full month since US/Israel attacks on Iran +47% PHEV in March (+47 YTD) +22% BEV (+15 YTD) +7% hybrid (+6) -6% diesel (-10) -11% petrol (-4) Petrol/diesel have lost 5 points of mkt share in 2026 YTD, 7pts in March…

@guardpilot @secretsqrl123 He went and supported an ally of war criminal Putin and Xi Jinping. Right before the elections. What more do you need? Putin's puppies.

@secretsqrl123 That’s literally not what he said. He gave specific examples of what the EU is doing and why it is wrong he never said anything about them “destroying the people of Eastern Europe”.

no one can defend what vance just said on TV. i hop to god he goes to prison for the rest of his life after this administration is over. going to another country to try, working on the side of putin and saying that our closest allies are trying to destroy the people of eastern europe makes him a POS. we would never stand for that in the US and europe should not stand for it there.
