Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

It barely featured in the campaign, but it looks like the world’s most powerful economy is about to elect a climate denying authoritarian who hates clean technology. The chances of global temperatures spiralling out of control just increased substantially.
At Legoland, they need to rate these rides on how much they make Mum's and Dad's want to barf! #LostMyStomach – at Windsor, South East

A heat pump as big as a football pitch??? That's what BASF is building in Ludwigshafen, Germany.
It will be the world’s largest industrial heat pump in the world.

This is a great illustration of what the new energy order looks like:
➡️large to small
➡️centralised to decentralised
➡️large grids to microgrids
➡️one-directional to bi-directional
➡️passive consumers to active prosumers
Of course this is simplified and highly stylised but it shows the direction of travel.
This is both depressing and another urgent call to action. Quite how it's not the headline story across all news outlets I don't know! – at Haywards Heath, England

This video is well worth 10 minutes of your time. Zero emission tech is so much more efficient we won't need to generate as much energy in the first place 🙂
The mind-blowing thing we get WRONG about energy:
Our current energy system is very inefficient - we waste most of the energy in conversion processes.
The good news: With electrification and renewable energy many of those inefficiencies will disappear.

It's also a waste of resources, which as an engineer riles me for several reasons. It is both inefficient and terrible for sustainability. These massive AI companies may not mind burning through billions in their quest but it affects all of us. – at Haywards Heath, England
First and second attempt at pizzas in the Ninja oven. Artisan setting is crazy hot, Thin is just right for us. (Also epic fail getting the pizza onto the slice first time!) – at Haywards Heath, England
First charge going into the ID3 from our shiny new SolarEdge EV charger! Install was made a bit complicated as it needs a direct wired connection into the broadband router!
What's better than a Ninja BBQ? Two Ninja BBQ's! #CookingOnElectric #TotallyJustifiedAsAlsoAPizzaOven – at Haywards Heath, England
