The Atkins uplift measurement team have been out all week at Steventon, one of the highest (6.0m) contact wire locations on the UK network. They've been doing an amazing job, battling the heat and a broken generator. We'll use this data to understand what actual uplift values are, and hopefully be able to reduce the number of bridges and signal gantries that need replacement for #electrification

I have bitten the bullet and asked a hot-water company to remove my gas water heater and replace it with an electric heat-pump. I'll be living on beans-on-toast for the rest of the year but there will be a rosy glow in my heart.

After urban busses, the next low hanging fruit for #electrification in transport is.. Refuse collection. Low speeds and frequent start/stop means you can get away with smaller battery than many other usecases. And citizens are happy with less diesel revving in neighborhoods!

"Selon un rapport publié mardi par l'Agence internationale pour les énergies renouvelables (Irena) quelque 86% (187 gigawatts) de la capacité renouvelable mise en service en 2022 avait un coût inférieur à celui de l'électricité produite à partir de combustibles fossiles (charbon, gaz)."

Today, U.S. Department of Energy announced the renewal of the first Clean Energy Manufacturing Innovation Institute, PowerAmerica.
This $8 million in funding will accelerate the adoption of improved semiconductors, as well as economy-wide #decarbonization and #electrification.
By 2030, approximately 80% of electricity is expected to flow through power electronic devices so this investment is a step toward increasing the #EnergyEfficiency and power capacity of these devices we need #ThanxBiden

I have "E-go" electric yard equipment. Mower, snowblower, leaf blower, trimmer. They are all part of the same battery ecosystem, which of course makes it's super convenient to swap batteries as needed between them all.
What I find myself wondering though is... why don't they also make an e-bike or a go-kart or some other things?
Ultimately, they're a battery + electric motor company who just happens to attach spinning blades to their battery+motor combo. They could just as easily pivot to attaching a drive chain.
Missed opportunity! c'mon guys!

Gas Networks to Blow $19M on Five-year Greenwashing Campaign in Bid to Fight Electrification and Advertise Fossil Fuel
Victoria’s gas distribution networks continue to hype "green gas". They're claiming that they will blend hydrogen into the fossil gas supply, but cannot say how this will make fossil gas clean, or give a timeline, or reveal how much it will cost consumers to renovate their homes to install pipes and cooking/heating appliances that are capable of handling hydrogen.
Hint: it takes only a Chemistry-101 level of understanding to see this is technically extremely difficult to practically impossible, in addition to being economically unfeasible, and too slow to meet decarbonisation targets to tackle climate change.
In other words, this is more lies from the increasingly desperate fossil fuel industry in a bid to prolong their planet-destroying business model. The government should step in to tell the fossil fuel companies to STFU, take their decades of profits and die quietly.

A #concealed #contract showed that the #nations largest #gas #utility had paid a leading Los Angeles #businessassociation to recruit #speakers against #electrification, and drive them to the meeting using #ratepayer money.
Paywalled.

Import of #green #hydrogen sounds weird. 😶
What happened to the argument that renewable energy allows you to have #energy #independence? Where's the energy independence when you rely on "green H2" imports? 🤨
Countries should rely on #electrification and #grid upgrades, rather than becoming dependents on H2-producing corporations. 😎

@ACTupper as the owner so far of 3 #phev cars, I'm a huge fan of the range extender concept. I've driven a Chevy Volt since 2015 and love the overall freedom that I have to get anywhere and back but also to most of the time not use gas.

The Henry George Program (podcast) just released an episode on the progress of rail electrification in the USA. TLDR: almost no progress.
Still a good episode to listen to.
A development in vehicle #electrification I didn't see coming this soon: intercity connecting bus service from Amtrak, which says its new coach can make the almost 200-mile round trip between Seattle and Bellingham, Wash., on one charge. https://media.amtrak.com/2023/08/amtrak-rolls-out-first-electric-bus/
Railway electrification in Europe is a mess.
Ought the EU provide funding to help (smaller?) ones change over to the modern standard?
(I.e. 25 kV, 50 Hz)

Our current learning rates have EV batteries at $60 / kWh in 2030. What does this mean?
An Ioniq5 battery is 77.4 kWh, has a 300 mile range, and costs about $10,000. In 2030, when EV battery prices have fallen to $60/kWh, the battery in an EV with a *600* mile range will cost $9,000.
That battery will be 11x as big as a Tesla Powerwall today. You could drive hundreds of miles and then power your house for several days before it ran out.

@clive It's not just the US that loves pickups - #Australia does, too (they're called 'utes' - after 'utility vehicle', here). They're the best selling vehicles in Australia: https://www.racv.com.au/royalauto/transport/cars/australian-new-car-sales-2022.html. Our 4WD utes and SUVs are much smaller and lighter than their US counterparts and much better off-road, to cope with harsh Australian conditions. #electrification does pose an issue, though as the charging structure is not in place for Australia's vast distances, and suitable EVs are simply not available - even if they were affordable (I'd be a customer, but nothing suitable is available, even if it were in my price range).
There's going to be pain involved, as remote communities and the disadvantaged - who drive older ICE vehicles - struggle to move to EVs. The 'nudges' (tariffs) which might seem reasonable for urban drivers are going to seem pretty unfair to them - and fertile breeding ground for a nasty culture war.
