This is a really cool Victorian State Government ad about CO2 emissions from household electricity consumption.
It’s pushing for energy conservation i.e. less balloons but just imagine if there were no balloons! It’s as easy as signing up to your local Green Energy supplier and paying a little more (usually about 3 cents more per kWh) for the renewable stuff. Can’t imagine this ad being shown in QueensCoalland!
While scanning my website stat’s the other other day I noticed a referring URL to a webpage that had this link; http://electricyaris.com/
Here’s some more info on it. (With my fat tyres and heavy batteries I’d love to have that electric power steering.)
Very cool and I’m very jealous, I really like the look of the new Yaris and know it will make a great icon for electric vehicles, makes me want to get back into the garage and start ripping out engines again!
Snowing in November? Cool, Global Warming is a hoax after all, that’s a relief!
Oh well, now I’ll have to find another excuse to justify all the money I’ve spent on the E-E. How about “I need a lot of batteries for my 10,000 Watt boom box.” ?
What’s that?
Global Warming = climate change = weird weather.
Oh…Rats.
Well, it doesn’t really matter anyhow (Q6) because Australia only emits 1.4% of the worlds greenhouse gases. I strongly encourage those who support this line of thinking to maintain consistency, by not bothering to apply their 0.000008% worth of influence at the next Federal Election.
Triple J reporter Kaitlyn Sawrey from the Hack team came for a ride to work with me early yesterday morning. She did a great job of interviewing me about my E-E and asked all the right questions. Then somebody’s audio skills managed to clean up my clumsy answers and turn them into something reasonably coherent! I’m very happy with the outcome… Triple J E-E Interview.mp3
Triple J is Australia’s very popular Public Broadcasting Network for music, it appeals mainly to those on the climbing side of the age hill. (Is that me?!) Here’s a Wiki on triple J.
On most weekends my other car, the carbon pumper, gets to do the non-commuter type trips. I always feel like I’m stepping backwards (in human advancement terms) when I’m driving it, even though it’s a well put together car (Honda CRV). So it was a great delight to discover today that my regular carbon transfer station (petrol station) had gone Green! I remember reading an article about ethanol a while ago that wasn’t too flattering about the environmental benefits of the ethanol because of all the non-green steps involved in it’s production.
Well, as usual, they just don’t get it. It’s not about the immediate impact on the environment that makes buying ethanol blended fuels important, it’s about encouraging an industry that has the potential to be very environmentally sound. The processing can be “greened-up” as demand grows. It’s a bit like hybrid “electric” vehicles but that’s another story. Anyhow, I swear that my carbon pumper is happier, now that it’s running on something that’s a tiny little bit greener.
