When we first started driving EVs the UKs grid intensity was 441g CO2/kWh, meaning our EV was emitting 110g CO2/mile or 68g CO2/KM
Grid intensity has lowered drastically since then (2023 162gCO2/kWh) so last year driving an EV meant you'd have averaged approximately 40.5g CO2/mile or 25g CO2/KM.
That's anywhere between 4 & 10 times cleaner than an ICE car and......... that's before we add crude oil extraction, fractional distillation and transportation emsisions to the ICE car's figures.
Happy clean air 🙏🏼

24 hours ago, I tried an experiment - I tweeted a thread with 15 productivity hacks. It’s become one of my highest performing tweets of all time, with over 1 million impressions and 23,648 engagements.
The truth is - the entire thread was written by an AI.

Last four Tory PMs: Cameron (PPE, Oxford), May (Geography, Oxford), Johnson (PPE, Oxford), Truss (PPE, Oxford). Truss beat Sunak (PPE, Oxford) in the leadership contest and has appointed Hunt (PPE, Oxford) as Chancellor. Best case study ever for the importance of diversity.

The UK is addicted to gas with 85% using it for heating. We also have least energy efficient housing stock in Western Europe. The mix makes us uniquely exposed to this gas price crisis. This graphic from Tado is still shocking - with heat loss from U.K. homes 3 X that of Germany

For millennia, humans have used more and more land for agriculture, taking over wild habitats.
But, we are at a unique point in history: agricultural land use has peaked.

10% of new car sales in Norway in 2021 have been diesel or petrol. Let that sink in.
It is normal to buy an electric car in Norway, an outlier to buy diesel or petrol. With policies, things can go fast.
