@Josh_Christiane at one point there used to be three Microsoft browsers installed on a PC: Internet Explorer, classic Edge, Edge

@tomwarren We are all just like NASA with the same problems, lol. Why there were ever 2 Outlooks still perplexes me.

NASA’s mission to orbit the Moon is being interrupted by Outlook (New) and Outlook (classic) both refusing to open 😂

whoever stole 400,000 KitKats is gonna be eating like this for the rest of their life

@FractalDoctor my entire argument was based on the fact that renewables were generating the majority of electricity for the grid and pushing prices low at that particular time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@tomwarren The technical term for the entirely of your argument is "cherry picking".

as gas and oil prices surge, I managed to charge up two EVs yesterday for far less than 1 litre of petrol (gasoline) 🙃 I hope the UK government follows Portugal and Spain and invests heavily in renewable energy

@Aeronaut4 well of course, that’s because UK electricity prices are still tied to gas

@tomwarren x.com/7Kiwi/status/2…

@martinw4565 no, you said “How does an average family afford £100k to purchase 2 EV's.” Pretty simple isn’t it? Don’t buy the luxury models.

@tomwarren That's why I said the AVERAGE price. I said £50k because the average subsidy in the UK for an EV is £3750 The average price for a new petrol car is around £22k-£30k

@martinw4565 that’s skewed by the large number of luxury EV models. There’s already price parity between electric and petrol cars, particularly on salary sacrifice schemes which many employers in the UK offer

@tomwarren The current average price of an EV is £46,000.

@Turnditch_Man ever heard of wind turbines?

@tomwarren Across the year, the sun shines just 15% of the time in the UK.

@just_drive_mcr a lot more, because public charging is rated at commercial electricity rates instead of consumer ones

@tomwarren Charging at home? How much would it be to charge outside home?

@Execute44 there’s wind farms, which are also far more effective

@tomwarren How does UK solar operate efficiently particularly in the winter?

@FractalDoctor no it didn’t. A fair percentage (75%) came from renewables, just like it is right now

@tomwarren A fair percentage of the electricity you used for charging came from fossil fuels, and nuclear, of course, and it's a matter of time before electricity prices rise. Let's not even mention the subsidies involved. energydashboard.co.uk/live
