German day ahead prices drop to -500 €/MWh at 2 pm. Yes, minus 500.
That's the lowest price in several years, if I recall correctly.
If you have a dynamic pricing retail contract, charging your EV will earn you smth like €50.

Dynamic tariffs are a must with renewables.
Today #UK #electricity wholesale prices are below zero for the bulk of the day. We need to bring in flexible tariffs (incl. grid charges & taxes) to incentivise the consumer to use this excess power rather than paying producers to switch off

Elon Musk is like a Scooby Doo villain who dresses up as a ghost to scare everyone away from the theme park but forgets that his business is theme parks – at Lewisham, London

Putin's plane left for St Petersburg, and Peskov promptly denied Putin leaving Moscow, which in good old Russian tradition assured the population Putin has left Moscow.

This is very true. Basically, Hydrogen will hardly be exchanged globally (most probably through local pipelines) in the coming decades.
And building powerlines takes a lot of time.
Fossil fuels were easier indeed

Been working on marine heatwaves for over 10 years now and always thought they would never be ecologically impactful in the cool waters around uk and ireland but this is unprecedented and possibly devastating

So that paper about how GPT-4 could ace MIT's curriculum turns out to be deeply flawed in multiple ways. A great reminder that preprints are not peer-reviewed, but also that public volunteer review can be excellent (in this case, by a group of undergrads).

Spot on! The renewable tsunami is about to hit, and our leaders are oblivious. Power prices are going negative all day in summer and whenever it's particularly windy. The answer is heat pumps and electric cars, which means fixing transmission bottlenecks and dynamic pricing.
Renewables are booming, especially solar. But what to do with all the potential energy surplus? A serious contender: electric vehicles.
A thread on why we absolutely need flexibility from EV and dynamic tariffs.

8. UK journalists keep pretending the UK is a massive farming nation, exporting food all over the world. It is the exact opposite. The UK imports food from all over the world and exports vehicles, machinery, electronics, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, oil and gas & aerospace parts.

The key points about vaping (E-cigarettes) can be easily summarised.
If you smoke, vaping is much safer; if you don’t smoke, don’t vape; marketing vapes to children is utterly unacceptable.
I expand on these points in the article below.

1️⃣9️⃣ These problems persist in the devolved nations with large amounts of sewage via overflows. England has less clean water leaks per head in the UK. Nearly half those of Scotland and NI.
Since privatisation investment has increased significantly in England.

1️⃣4️⃣ What nobody ever mentions is that a large reason for the decline is the EU added more substances to test for and thus fail against in 2015 leading to a decline in numbers. Then again in 2019 they added uPBT's.
Around 40% of the decline is due to these added substances.
