  • How a significant part of public opinion sees people on bikes

    跳过

  • I'm going out on a limb here. On average car drivers and cyclists are equally rubbish in traffic. After that it becomes a numbers game. I don't see any reason why the mode of transportation has any bearing on my skills in traffic.

    As I told my kids when they started venturing out in traffic by themselves:

    Me: expect anyone in traffic to be a moron Them (in a got ya-snicker): But that means you, too! Me: yes.

    We all have bad days in traffic, regardless of how many wheels are at our disposal. Plan for it.

  • No, as a driver you are always responsible for your actions.

    However, being a driver does not absolve any cyclists of their responsibility as cyclists. In this case the issue is the lack of reflectors and lack of bike lights. That is part of the responsibilities that comes with being a biker.

    Any reference to race, outside of the reflective properties of different colors that might actually be relevant in this case, are yours.

  • At a speed at which the driver has time to break whatever the driver may encounter on that road.

    Wild life are notoriously bad at wearing high Viz clothing, although I've heard the Finns are making progress on the issue.

  • Baseload power generators not needed to guarantee supply, say science and engineering academies

    跳过

  • Well, demand is low, supply is little and inefficiency in production is high. With that said, EUs fit for 55 will soon provide plenty of solar power, so summer days will see practically limitless electricity. At least enough to brute force the inefficiencies. maybe then.

  • A surprise solar boom reveals a fatal flaw in our climate change projections

    跳过

  • Yeah, don't get this idea that everyone else will be somehow better than the western world if given the chance. People are people no matter where we live. We are about equally lazy on average and the ability to pay for power is down to circumstances.

  • Agrivoltaics can increase grape yield by up to 60%

    跳过

  • Heard positive numbers from a farmer connected to EV research as well. He provided the "Agri-"part of the experiment😊 No numbers from any paper yet, though.

  • Oh... There is another month until the solstice. It will get worse before it gets better.

    My sincerest condolences.

  • Battery Electric Vehicles still being shunned by EU buyers

    跳过

  • Long haulers usually prefer to gas up at their own private facilities to keep costs down, as I've understood it, using gas stations more as an emergency refilling. I'm not sure if that market is big enough to carry the entire infrastructure itself.

    Construction is another big sector for diesel, but in both transport and construction there is a lot of work being put into moving the sector to electrification. Which is well, because given how fast the automotive market has turned change might be fairly quick.

    There are other uses as well, but will they be able to carry the market? Driving the need for supertankers and trillions worth of investment in oil infrastructure with fuel cans at the chemistry shops? With rising production costs for big oil? I don't know if I'm more relieved or more anxious about the idea...

  • Battery Electric Vehicles still being shunned by EU buyers

    跳过

  • Well, I may be cynical, but I'm asking two questions:

    1. Who owns media?
    2. What happens in a society when EV reach 90-95% market share? What happen when the last petrol station goes bust? Which infrastructure will follow?

    I see a huge interest in not letting incumbent infrastructure fail. That's what electrification is up against

  • Australia struggling with oversupply of solar power

    跳过

  • Due to the other comment below, i spoke with the guys that run our panels and they answered "well, in theory..."

    I'm guessing here, but it might be an issue with the controllers, or that the idea of turning them off is simply inconceivable (why would I turn mine off and let others make money), or something else. But it doesn't seem like standard practice.

  • Australia struggling with oversupply of solar power

    跳过

  • Interesting! Is the idea to use excess electricity to heat the sand and then reproduce power via Steam turbine? Any idea how the heat is extracted ?

    I've heard of a similar plant, but that used mirrors to heat up the sand directly, rather than using it as a way to use excess electricity.

    Same idea, different material is thermal storage in sand.

  • Australia struggling with oversupply of solar power

  • Please expand! Why is this not an issue with solar?

  • Australia struggling with oversupply of solar power

    跳过

  • Unfortunately it is a problem that needs solving. Electricity needs to be used as it is produced and if its not, it will be a problem. Where i live, the de facto solution today is to heat the oceans. That's not a viable long term solution and why we urgently need to find a way to store energy!

  • Australia clears the way for EVs to help save the grid with V2G this summer

    跳过

  • Don't get me wrong, setting up homes to be more energy efficient also needs to be done and may be a bigger issue, but the V2G has been in the horizon for years but has been held back by lack of standardisation and support. That steps are taken in this regard are also great!

  • Global Installed Solar Capacity To Blow Past 2 Terawatts, USA Or Not

    跳过

  • Well, wind, sun and fossil free heating spells the terms of divorce with the oil industry. No wonder they fight so hard to block it.

    What happens when a nation like Norway goes 92% EV? There will not be any demand for the oil infrastructure, so within the time these last fossil fueled cars goes to the scrap yard, so will the market for fuel stations etc.

    Don't get me wrong, the market for rest stops and charging will be the same, but the costs of servicing the pumps and the risks of varying fuel prices will not cover itself. So it will not be carried along.

    What about heavy transport? It will take longer, but in time it will go the same way. And prices will increase. With falling demand, perhaps not the price of the fuel, but the costs of keeping the service running. That will be a big upheaval in the automotive service industry.

    Geopolitically? Unless you can produce your own oil, it's a big win on independence. It is also a big win in regards to availability. Instead of knocking out 1 plant, an aggressor would have to knock out 10000 small, private production facilities on roof tops. Also a big win.

    And if you are able to produce your own oil, it will instead become a liability when those still dependant on oil needs to secure their supply...

  • Toyota says California-led EV mandates are ‘impossible’ as states fall short of goal

    跳过

  • Yeah, I got that. And the point of my post was that expecting and planning for a 35% share is neither unreasonable nor impossible. The "impossible" part is on Toyota, not California.

    The UK and Germany are both at about 25% EV adoption, as per news here the last days. That's a combined market about half the size of the USA. That seems to work out rather well in terms of supply.

    Unless of course, we exclude all non-american car makers in the world. And that's the issue, isn't it?

  • From a member of Paris local government: «Tomorrow, we'll be saying to motorists, “Here's where you can drive, on this car-lane.” Everything else will be for pedestrians and cyclists.»

    跳过

  • As I get it, it's about shifting the perspective from everything is for cars and pedestrians are an after thought to something like everything is for pedestrians except this particular piece of road where cars may drive. From "car first", to "pedestrian first".
