If all I tweet is Jesus. That’s more than enough.

My favorite tweet of all time has since been deleted, but it was a tweet by Sasha Chapin about how “if you like meditation, you should try prayer and see how that feels.” Seeing that tweet during my lunchbreak on a random weekday afternoon inspired me to try praying, and the experience of being heard during praying led me to believing in God, which led me years later to experiencing a spiritual rebirth, which led to me getting sober after a decade-long struggle with alcohol and drugs. I drank for the last time in September 2023 and from that point on I replaced alcoholism with running. I ran 385 miles by the end of 2024 (including 3 half-marathons) and lost 40lbs along the way. I highly recommend replacing your bad addictions with better ones! What I am continually struck by is how small the first domino in this chain of events was. A single tweet. Sent off with the intention to provoke thought or share an idea, but I am sure the author was not thinking "oh yeah, this is going to completely turn someone's life around." Well, it did! Life can change for the better much quicker than you think when you believe in something with all of your heart. And isn't that beautiful? God is good!!☺️

Nepal's EV revolution in one chart. In 2019, EVs were 1% of new car sales. By 2024: 75%+ While ICE imports collapsed from 10,000+ to ~3,500 units, EV imports surged to nearly 12,000.

Pakistan's solar revolution: from 0% to 25% in a decade. 2021: 4% 2022: 7% 2023: 10% 2024: 14% 2025: 25% Solar is now Pakistan's #1 electricity source. Not driven by policy — driven by consumers.

How we are to handle the Devil’s sinful machinations is best summarized by James, Jesus’ brother: “Humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7)

@aeon07 One of my Assistants has a Nissan Leaf 2018, with a really poor range of 250km, but the only thing he has fixed is the Wipers. Twice.

@gbenro I have a deep seated fear of falling into the hands of poorly trained technicians. Simple maintenance becomes complex level endeavors. EVs are the future… viable when we leave the 80s.

In a different Conversation- I have 2 EVs in Use now. An older one, and a New one. Biggest myth: “EVs are too expensive.” Skip Tesla, and it's cheaper than Most SUVs in the Market Reality: • Lower running costs • Less maintenance • No petrol

For the sake of balance and because my timeline is always full of people proclaiming that renewables are flawed - today at noon, electricity in U.K. was generated •🌬️ Wind: 55% •☀️ Solar: 20% •🌿 Other renewables (biomass + hydro): ~3–5% •☢️ Nuclear: ~12–13% •🔥 Gas: ~6% •🌍 Imports: ~5–7% 91–92% low-carbon (renewable + nuclear). The grid didn’t fall over and won’t because that is a myth. This statistic is also, honestly meaningless. The big picture (latest full-year data) •Renewables: ~42–50% •Fossil fuels (mostly gas): ~30–36% •Nuclear: ~15–16% •Other/imports: small remainder Or simplified: ~2/3 low-carbon vs ~1/3 fossil fuels Clearly as we look to the future; and at the risk of being controversial! 1) The more sources of energy the better - wind, solar, nuclear and gas. Being at the mercy of one commodity is “rule 101 stupid”. 2) We need to break the business model where electricity prices are set by the most expensive commodity ie usually gas 3) We need to encourage the robustness of the grid in energy storage of all kinds and the robustness of the same (sometimes called inertia) 4) Decentralisation and democratisation of energy generation is enabled by technology such as solar and battery and will ultimate challenge monopolistic practices For those of us that believe in a free market, we must embrace a multitude of competing technologies; for competition will result in keener pricing For those of us who care about the planet, the use of a greater proportion coming from renewables must be welcome. So ultimately I struggle with the idea that anyone would object to a more diverse mix of energy supply or the idea that we would block the emergence of any new technology; ultimately the market will decide and I’m pretty sure the market will demand the best solutions……. emphasis on plurality!
