Ford’s electric vehicle unit reported that losses soared in the first quarter to $1.3 billion, or $132,000 for each of the 10,000 vehicles it sold in the first three months of the year, helping to drag down earnings for the #company overall.

The #UK #ElectricyDemand is currently 32 GW and of that, 25.2% is coming from #SolarEnergy, 17.1% is coming from #WindEnergy, 16.8% is coming from #NuclearEnergy and 9.9% is coming from #Biomass and only 7% is coming from #Gas. There is also a fair amount coming from continental Europe through the various interconnections.

#Trypillia TPP was completely destroyed in a Russian strike on Ukrainian energy infrastructure on April 11, leading to the 100% loss of #Centrenergo's generating capacity.
Russia launched 11 missiles in the direction of the plant, according to Zelensky. Ukraine was able to shoot down the first seven, and four "destroyed Trypillia."
"Why? Because there were zero #missiles. We ran out of all the missiles that protected the Trypillia TPP,"

The Trypillia Thermal Power Plant was completely destroyed in a Russian attack on Ukrainian energy infrastructure on April 11, leading to the total loss of #Centrenergo's generating capacity.
The Russian strike led to a large-scale fire in the turbine house of the plant. All of the plant's workers who were on the shift during the attack survived.
"We can restore everything," Hota said, but this will require the help of international partners, as equipment like turbines or transformers come from European countries.
"But without a sufficient number of missiles for anti-aircraft defense, it will, to put it mildly, be a futile affair," Hota added.

Yesterday (on April 3), the enemy targeted a solar power plant. This is the first case, at least in my memory, of a targeted attack on a renewable energy facility," Kudrytskyi said, without disclosing the location of the solar power plant.
Kudrytskyi said that there is no acute shortage in the power system, as total electricity consumption is falling due to the warm weather. There is a seasonal increase in production at solar power plants, according to Kudrytskyi.
Right now, #FossilFuels are accounting for just 5.9% of the #UK's #Electricity generation. #WindEnergy is contributing 45.5%, #SolarEnergy 19.0% and #NuclearEnergy 13.9%. The rest comes from interconnects from continental #Europe and small amounts from #Hydropower and #Biomass. Some is also being exported to #Ireland.

The Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun is rumored to be 30,000 years old. In this video, I investigate and confirm that it is legitimate.

The Bosnian pyramid is larger than the Egyptian pyramid in Giza. The Pyramid in Bosnia is also much older.

Battery sales are growing exponentially up classic S-curves that characterize the growth of disruptive new technologies. For thirty years, sales have been doubling every two to three years, enjoying a 33 percent average growth rate. In the past decade, as electric cars have taken off, it has been closer to 40 percent.

Over the past ten days or so, #WindEnergy has provided a large fraction of the #UK's #Electricity demand, often above half of it. Even now, it is providing 47% and keeping #Gas down to single figure in percentage terms. There was a lull overnight but the new #storm, #Gerrit is currently the main source.
At the time of writing this post, 55.3% is being generated by #Wind and only 8.1% by #Gas. Demand is moderately low at 30.2 GW.
FR: Je suis à la recherche d'une personne qui à des compétences dans le domaine de l’électricité.
Je suis actuellement en train de faire l’aménagement électrique de mon #van. La boite elec est terminée avec toute sorte d'appareils à l'intérieur, j'en suis aux branchements.
Je cherche une personne avec qui je pourrais échanger, afin de lui envoyer des photos de temps en temps (de mes schémas, de l'installation ...) pour vérifier que mon installation est fonctionnelle et sécurisée. Je suis en contact avec un électricien AFK, mais bon j'ai pas envie de le faire se déplacer 50 fois, du coup sur internet ce serrais arrangeant ; de plus, cet électricien est compétent seulement pour tout ce qui concerne l’aménagement de l'arrière, mais pas pour le couplage avec la batterie moteur. Je cherche donc également quelqu'un qui sais faire ça.
Je vais pas vous spammer je sais me débrouiller et me documenter, mais c'est si jamais j'ai un doute à un moment, avoir un regard extérieur dans les moments clés, ect.
Si vous n'avez aucune compétence dans le domaine de l'électricité, vous pouvez quand même m'aider en repartageant ce message <3
EN: I am looking for someone with electrical skills.
I'm currently doing the electrical installation in my van. The electrical box is finished, with all sorts of appliances inside, and I'm in the process of making the connections.
I'm looking for someone to talk to, so I can send him photos from time to time (of my plans, of the installation...) to check that my installation is functional and safe. I'm in contact with an AFK electrician, but I don't want to make him go out of his way 50 times, so it would be more convenient to do it over the Internet. What's more, this electrician is only qualified to do everything that concerns the installation of the back, but not the coupling with the motor battery. So I'm also looking for someone who knows how to do that.
I'm not going to spam you, I know how to get around and document myself, but it's just in case I'm in doubt at some point, to have an outside eye at key moments, and so on.
If you don't have any electrical skills, you can still help me by reposting this message <3

While #Scotland was only just waking up to the advantages of district heating, #Shetland was already way ahead of the game
The beauty of district heating is that it’s community-led. It’s locally owned so we have control over the production and the pricing and we’re not at the mercy of global events that affect electricity costs
Whereas electricity costs have rocketed to around 30p/kWh, district heating has remained low, currently clocking in at 7.5p/kWh.
