Net Zero calling....... Amidst growing concerns over the resilience of the UK's national power grid and the potential for significant strain or even a meltdown, the Deputy Prime Minister has issued a call to citizens. The government urges the populace to prepare for potential grid failures by stocking up on battery-powered devices and candles. This advice is part of a broader strategy to ensure that households can maintain basic lighting and access to information in the event of a power outage.Modern Power Infrastructure ChallengesThe call underscores the challenges that modern power infrastructure faces. Natural disasters, cyberattacks, or other unforeseen events could disrupt the supply of electricity. Ensuring the resilience of power grids against such disruptions is becoming more critical as our dependence on electricity grows. Traditional power sources may be unavailable during emergencies, emphasizing the importance of preparedness.Proactive Approach to Emergency PreparednessThe government's proactive approach to emergency preparedness highlights the importance of being ready for potential crises. Being prepared for emergencies is not just about having the necessary supplies on hand. It also involves having plans in place and knowing how to respond when a crisis strikes. The recommendation to keep a stock of batteries and candles is a simple yet effective measure that households can take to ensure they can maintain basic lighting and access to information during a power outage....

Consumer Reports: EVs Are Less Reliable Than Gasoline CarsBy Tsvetana Paraskova - Nov 30, 2023, 8:30 AM CSTU.S. owners of electric vehicles have been experiencing on average more problems with their cars than the owners of vehicles with the traditional internal combustion engines, Consumer Reports said in its annual ranking of brand reliability.  This year, Lexus, Toyota, and Mini are found to be the three most reliable brands in CR's auto reliability brand rankings, with the two Japanese brands swapping spaces from last year.This year Consumer Reports addressed the rapidly growing number of electrified offerings that automakers are producing: hybrids, plug-in hybrids (PHEV), and electric vehicles (EV). As a result, CR added three new trouble areas: electric motor, EV/hybrid battery, and EV charging.Comparing the average electrified powertrains to gasoline-powered vehicles, CR found that out of 20 trouble areas, hybrids have, on average, 26% fewer problems than gas vehicles.However, EVs have 79% more problems than gasoline vehicles and plug-in hybrids fare even worse, with 146% more problems than gas vehicles."As more EVs hit the marketplace and automakers build each model in greater numbers, we are seeing that some of them have problems with the EV drive system motors, EV charging systems, and EV batteries (which are different from the low-power 12-volt batteries that power accessories)," Consumer Reports said....

John Redwood@johnredwoodAt COP 28 they need to change their accounting. Why is it right to cut UK CO 2 by closing our steel works, only to import the steel from elsewhere? World CO 2 goes up if we do that.8:51 am · 2 Dec 2023·

The OPEC Secretariat, which made the announcement, did not disclose the reason for the postponement.It was not immediately clear whether the OPEC+ group would be holding a virtual or in-person meeting on Thursday, or whether ministers would still adjourn at the OPEC secretarial headquarters in Vienna.The new date of the OPEC+ meetings coincides with the first day of the Conference of the Parties climate summit (COP28) in Dubai and represents a key event for both the host United Arab Emirates - the third-largest OPEC producer - and for other Arab energy providers that are tackling the green transition.Earlier in the day, Bloomberg News issued a report saying the meeting of Sunday could be delayed amid Saudi dissatisfaction over the oil production levels of some countries. A senior OPEC+ delegate, who asked for anonymity because of the sensitivity of the discussion, agreed with the premise, with reference to the compliance levels of some alliance member countries with their respective output pledges.....
