Electric Cars

Unreal!

Horryfying footage of the scale of the forest fire that hit Alberta last year. 10,000 hectares of trees involved. Alberta just declared the start of this year's fire season—in FEBRUARY! There is nothing normal about what's happening. No time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate

#Antarctica sea ice reaches alarming low for third year in a row - extent has contracted to below 2m sq km for three years in a row, indicating an ‘abrupt critical transition’ #ClimateCrisis Story by @readfearn theguardian.com/world/2024/feb…

Down 50%! World's largest battery maker will cut battery costs 50% in 2024! Price of 60 kWh battery pack will fall from $6,776 to just $3,388 in only 12 months, saving over $3,000 per vehicle. ICE is done, with length of the funeral only uncertainty. thedriven.io/2024/01/25/wor…

"Dear friends, scientifically, this is not a #ClimateCrisis. We are now facing something deeper. Mass extinction. Air pollution. Undermining ecosystem functions. Really putting humanity’s future at risk. This is a #PlanetaryCrisis." — Professor @jrockstrom #ActOnClimate

Humans are creating the third great extinction. If we don't change - 99.9% of critically endangered species will be lost & it will take the earth more than 3 million yrs to recover. We have solutions to the #climate crisis, implement them. #ActOnClimate #climateaction

The Arctic is warming at a rate up to four times faster than the planet as a whole and has lost a third of its sea ice volume in just two decades: buff.ly/3VWL4ny There is a no time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables #GreenNewDeal

The trains in the Netherlands are 100% #windpowered. Over 5,500 trips a day 100% #renewable. We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #climateemergency #climateaction #climate #energy #renewableenergy #renewables #GreenNewDeal

"Please make no mistake. Climate change is the biggest threat to global security that modern humans have ever faced." Sir David Attenborough. No time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #stopfossilfuels #go100re

Eight things the world must do to avoid the worst of #ClimateChange 1. Stop methane emissions 2. Stop deforestation 3. Restore degraded land 4. Change what we eat 5. Go #RenewableEnergy 6. Use energy more efficiently 7. Stop burning #FossilFuels 8. #ActNow theguardian.com/environment/20…

Solar and on-shore wind provide cheapest electricity and nuclear most expensive, CSIRO analysis shows theguardian.com/australia-news…

The climate impact of the foods we eat. There is no time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables

Ford was the most recalled automaker in 2023, while Tesla was one of the least, according to NHTSA data. Total recalls (including physical & over the air update recalls): • Ford: 54 • Chrysler: 45 • BMW: 29 • Mercedes: 27 • GM: 22 • VW: 18 • Tesla: 13 Tesla's over-the-air (OTA) recalls in the US affected about 2.1 million vehicles. Tesla's physical recalls affected just 21,455 vehicles, or about 1% of the total. Tesla had fewer recalls in the US this year than almost every other large automaker.

and here it is… the piece of the federal electricity policy puzzle that was missing until now. a series of commonwealth-backed reverse auctions is set to deliver enough wind, solar & storage to get us to 82% RE by 2030. reneweconomy.com.au/bowen-dumps-re…
