@GeorgeMonbiot There's hundreds of new houses being built near me. All heated by gas and not one with a solar panel or battery. That should be criminal.
@SJM18T@popsyosh34 The current Brands GP circuit record is 1:24.8 by Josh Brookes on a 1000cc Superbike. No way was Sheene that fast.

@SJM18T@popsyosh34 Todays racers are a million times fitter, stronger and more dedicated than some lager-swilling, fag-smoking bloke from the 1970s no matter how much you want to glorify your man-crush on them.
Hell, some of today's fast-group club riders would put them to shame.
@prwright55@OxfordDiplomat The politicians are supposed to make sensible decisions based on the information from experts, not the other way round.
A lesson that we are slowly learning..don't elect morons (see USA, the UK, Hungary, Argentina)
@mhs21981@ImChrisTheHuman@ItsBillN Combined with a ToU tariff batteries make huge sense. My monthly bill is less than£50. 2x BEVs, 5 bed house, most of DHW and Aircon. 95% of consumption is at off peak rates.
@ImChrisTheHuman@jmcomms@ItsBillN Yeah, Vehicle-to-House/Grid isn't quite there yet. You need a special charging unit as well as car support and a house inverter. It will be important in the near future though to balance the grid.
Probably in another 10 years or so.
@ImChrisTheHuman@ItsBillN It depends, e.g., I have 16.5kWh of batteries in the house, which I fill at £0.075p per kWh. The house then runs on this during the day, meaning that less than 5% of my usage is at day rates.
The EV tariffs are amazing (also 2 x BEVs doing ~18K miles per annum)
