Polar Night Energy team has calculated that their #sandbattery is 8-10 times cheaper than a #lithium one. To store 8 MWh of #energy the Kankaanpää #sand #battery costs about $200k, a lithium ion battery would cost at least $1,600k #EnergyStorage https://t.co/Kb9rL1a3qs

It's revolting to see huge #profits #FossilFuel giants like @bp_plc @Shell @aramco have made in Q3 2022 through the most #GHG emitting activities & products of all, cause #climate #Environmental #social #disruption #DESTRUCTION #suffering #ClimateCrisis https://t.co/nUqugIe29H

Yet even though #agriculture - mostly #meat & #dairy -accounts for 15% #GHG #emissions roughly equivalent to #Transport sector, it receives little legislative #ATTENTION than other sources of #greenhouse #gases and even less funding than #CleanEnergy.

In 2021, #agricultural corporations spent more than $150M - more than #defense or #Construction industries - lobbying #UnitedStates #government to limit #Environmental regulations #meatless #ClimateCrisis https://t.co/1VjH20uauL

For the past 3/4 years I enjoyed a @Xiaomi MiA3 with @Google One: inexpensive #smartphone with good #battery, fast recharge, decent #Camera & latest @Android #Release. For the past week or so, it's behaved total random. I read it's not supported any more. Farewell @Xiaomi!!!

Classic "privatise benefits socialise costs": @IEA World #energy Outlook 2022 values #windfall for #fossilfuel industry to $ 2Tr above 2021 net income and #government #support to #industry & #citizens so far to well over $500Bn #energybills #energycrisis https://t.co/pRHtwARMSC

Nine #Australian big batteries operators had revenues of $41M in Q2, and $37M in Q3 more than two and a half times Q3 2021 #Australia #energy #renewableenergy #EnergyStorage

#profits from big #batteries increase over 2.5X as #battery operators buy/charge at a low price (#demand is weak, #Wind & #solar #production is high) and sell at a higher price when demand peaks #energytransition https://t.co/ZWPYx3Z6Dk

Contrary to #Petrol #Fuel, #electricity is "nearly" ubiquitous. In UK there are over 300k lampposts in suitable for retrofitting to become #ElectricVehicles #charging points. Their #carbon #footprints may be up to 88% lower than standalone charging pillar https://t.co/oor6OLVr1K

Redirecting #oilandgas investments would “fully finance” scale up of #Wind and #SOLAR to keep global warming below 1.5°C. By 2030 wind & solar investment is expected to lack $450bn/year, while #oilgas investment will reach $570bn/year. #EnergyTransition https://t.co/AavxAvyT99

How #solarenergy will look like in 2030? #commercial #solar cells will have 30% #efficiency & full solar systems (i-e. panels + inverters + transmission) will cost 50%. The vision of ARENA: #Australia #renewable #energy #agency #EnergyTransition https://t.co/SlsKOziXVr
