@lomondtrossachs The best way to reduce stress on Loch Lomond is to eliminate noisy and dirty petrol engines and replace them with electric: lets #electrifyeverything

@Plugboats I wonder what it looks like the right way around, lol !

@ElecScotsman Brilliant news @ElecScotsman: where #Scotland leads, the rest follow!

@Robinwindsor @jojo_radebe @GrazianoDiPrima Here in Scotland: two or more blokes dancing with each other in their whirling kilts is considered totally normal. As is Morris dancing in Englandshire. Some people need to get a life. #notgayjustblokes

A good start: but we have a long way to go.

Our ocean cleanup system is now finally catching plastic, from one-ton ghost nets to tiny microplastics!

Also, anyone missing a wheel?

[Electric Boat Association @ElectricBoatsUK]

@Jontybx @keith__johnston @TimSchwanen @BBCNews I suppose it depends what you mean by 'near future' : most of us would give it ten years due to supply shortage, but yes, most EVs are pretty invisible : they tend to look like, er, normal cars (or indeed, boats).

@EVA_Scotland @BiggarSF @njel1312 It was a good wee science festival: well done to all the organisers, and I enjoyed the day and the chat with Biggars finest, even the tweedy farmer who wanted an electric tractor that could run for 18 hours a day without a charge!

@JamesR_Palmer @TimSchwanen @WileyGeography @SophieElsmore You suggest that: "A large shift away from motorised vehicles is the only way to fundamentally reduce transport's contribution to climate change." https://t.co/Qs7gG4oNu9. I'm not so sure: I think the solution is sharing vehicles: cars and boats, as needed.

[Electric Boat Association @ElectricBoatsUK]

@AlastairDalton @TS_Director @TransformScot No: this is not good.
But if we must have cars (and both my wife and I rely on them to make our living) then let's have electric cars. We are the proud owners of a Nissan Leaf and a Hyundai Kona: both battery electric.

Manning the EBA stand at the IWA Festival of Water, Waltham Abbey, last weekend: and it was a scorcher: 32 degrees C. !

[Electric Boat Association @ElectricBoatsUK]

@Jim_Holder I did 1,000 miles in the bank holiday weekend in five days: in the Kona EV, it is easy-peasy.

I've just signed a petition calling on @amazon to change their packaging to plastic-free options that can be recycled easily after use https://t.co/SVBHaTnusW via @38_degrees
