- “The idea is to go from numbers to information to understanding” Hans Rosling
This week’s podcast is a fascinating conversation from our recent Everything Electric London expo live stage between Robert and data scientist Hannah Ritchie.
Quoting Hans Rosling as one of the key thought leaders who really opened her mind to the power of data, Hannah takes Robert through her work as a data scientist, senior researcher and deputy editor at ‘Our World In Data’.
And as a bonus, we’ve also included Hannah's first Fully Charged podcast recording from last year for those who missed that, or who would like to listen to it again.

I am one of the 8% of women that are following this show. I too bought the solar panels, heat pump, induction cooktop, air source heat pump clothes dryer and our series of EVs!! My husband who is a very lovely and deeply concerned citizen is still holding dear his plug in hybrid electric car. He is concerned to go fully EV. Our daughter is 19 at Yale and is studying Applied Physics and will also get an Energy Certificate she has been exposed to this show for half of her life and it has made a big impact on her life goals.
Hannah Ritchie is fantastic, I use Our World In Data all the time. Very good to hear her continuing in the tradition of Hans Rosling who is sadly no longer with us.
I've studied medical history and let me tell you, you don't want to go back to before the industrial revolution. Making carbon our slave has brought us tremendous progress over the past 200+ years. But, it is just the starter engine of our civilization, now it is possible to switch to solar power that is arriving today, instead of digging up solar power that arrived 200 million years ago.
Did you study CON19 and how it was created. Why is no one being put in prison for researching gain of function ?
How are we supposed to trust "sienciists " or paid shills that 95% agreed with their sponsors?
Was a great show in London, thanks Robert for taking 5 mins to listen to me drone on about frustration with our local council refusing me permission for the new on street charging grant opportunity from the government. Awesome work & thank you for being you..
I'll vote for you Robert. You dig around and drill down deeply into the technology. When pumping out and extracting the nodules of knowledge you inform us while we make our lifestyle choices.
Please ignite and burn up the old ideas of yesterdays thinkers who want to keep us combusting the planet. Thank you for everything you do for our future.
Great interview. Hannah is a breath of fresh air in this pessimistic world of doom and gloom.
Just wanted to mention that I attended Fully Charged Live in Austin, Texas in February 2020 where I test drove the Chevy Bolt. In January or 2023, I actually bought one. The test drives at these events are a very positive thing.
What a fantastic show. You asked and were answered on almost all the questions. Just brilliant. Do it again soon, even every month
Great discussion. Just wanted to put my hand up as one of the 8% regularly watching. 💁
Haven’t followed your videos for a while but every time I do you’re spot on.
Thank you for all your work!
Great show! You give them heaps and more!! Remember we are behind you!!!
I was hoping to see Kryten and Mr. Bean slug it out.
Bananas at 5 paces
Both suck in the nicest possible way. Great idea.
Next guest Greta.. Has she been released yet?
Black Adder vs Kryten would probably be much more of a spectacle to behold.
@@Actually-y7j bot is scared by young educated women, again!
It was the atmosphere that helped to make the show. Positivity and warmth. All good.
My predominant thought on the audience demographic of mostly middle aged, middle class men is that we want to escape what we’ve inherited AND created over our lifetimes. I think this is a good thing.
The challenge “we” face is now a local, national, global communal one. How we invite our families and friends to join in is the question.
Young people like Hannah, really give me hope for progress in the future.
YOu and the team have done a fantastic job or bringing this whole channel together. I was at the Everything Electric show and the impetus these shows give to the cause can't be underestimated.
Great chats, both the live event at Everything Electric show (I was there on Saturday so couldn't hear Hannah's discussion live), plus to rewatch the chat with Hannah from early last year. This time, I happened to pick up on Roberts comment about how efficient (or not) ICE vehicles are , at around 25-30% . I had also previously thought many people dismissed solar panels because they are also currently only around that level of efficiency, yet happily drive around in an ICE powered car.
well said, I never thought of it that way before!
Absolutely superb pod. Hannah is so inspiring. I have bought the book on Audible and look forward to listening to it.
I've recommended "Not the end of the world" to dozens of people, one of which bought 10 copies to distribute to friends and family! I bought 4 ;) This is a great book to show the path we need to follow to decarbonize everything and address this climate change crisis we are in. Hans Rosling was also a great inspiration for me.
I have been enjoyed, so thank you for delivering.
Awesome interview. Love it
She is brilliant, so knowledgeable and passion.
Reading her book now as preordered it after listening the previous podcast.
One thing that it’s not mentioned here is that you compare local beef with beans or avocados from Asia, Africa… but what about local veg/fruit compared to same from Africa, Caribbean, etc?? That would be very useful too… 🙏
Great content and delivery, will share with friends and family. This is the responsibility we all have to share the knowledge and present it in a balanced way. Exactly what you have done Hanna super stuff and keep up the good work! Will get the book 👍
100%! We don’t have a Planet B
I went to the show, test drove the Tesla Model 3 and Y and had a great time. What I particularly liked was meeting friendly, intelligent people!
You're 100% right we don't have a Planet B, but costs are still the massive issue. Until thats fixed its still going to be a slow slog. In terms of cars they need to not only price match ICE cars but be cheaper. And making them cheaper by putting in an incredibly pointless battery (ie under 200 miles real range) isn't the solution.
Until we get 300+ mile range at the £15k mark its not going to speed up adoption. I'm massively oversimplifying but thats the gist of it. Fully charged showcasing fantastic cars like the Teslas is great, but they need to understand those arent for the every day person, especially in this climate. They shouldn't be pushing and promoting £30k+ cars, they should be showcasing £10-£20k cars.
Cars asside, things like heat pumps for homes is getting far better, with the current subsidies a standard 3 bed semi costs under £3k to upgrade now. The push here should be bringing forward the ban on new boiler installations to force the switch. If you're going to pay £3k to replace a boiler then you should be pushed to switch to a heat pump.
In a similar vein new builds should be 100% forced to have solar panels, battery storage, solar water heating and heat pumps, along with a massive increase in the minimum insulation requirements. As a 'bonus' most should also have in-home heated air exchangers, this was a complete game changer for our old 1930's home and massively reduced damp issues and lowered heating costs and they cost pennies to run.
@@Rick-vm8bl Of course many people cannot afford a new EV, or even a new ICE car. However those that can should consider it and only 25% of annual sales are new vehicles. Years before the 2035 deadline , many many people will be able to afford a used EV.
Rick, all that is needed for EV uptake is knowledge and an attitude shift in how we own cars. EV's are already cheaper over the lifetime of a vehicle, though the initial cost of them is far greater. Subsequent costs - 'fuel', maintenance,tax etc are significantly lower. That requires that we shift to buying cars over the long term to spread the cost - via loans, leasehold etc. It will be cheaper. By far the vast majority of journeys are within a handful of miles - I forget the exact stats - to the shops, to work, but distances for EV cars are rapidly increasing to be 300+ miles, plus rapid charging.
Extremely few people drive long trips that exceed the current average 250 mile EV range, so should be realistic .
((Professor Google tells me 'The average length of a car trip however is unchanged between 2002 and 2019, at 8.4 miles per trip'
On a daily basis, cars in the UK drive an average of 18 miles a day, 127 miles a week, 550 miles a month and 6,600 miles a year.'))
Another brilliant podcast, Hannah is a star. I love the discussion about plastic, I remember the pre plastic days but I have never thought about the low carbon aspect of using them for food safety.
Great video and pod cast with Hannah. Very informative and new take on the energy use and change over to sustainable systems. Will need to look for the book.
I'm about halfway through Hannah's book. Absolutely love it. Informative, optimistic, and easy to read. Everyone should read this book.
I was on the train travelling to the first day of the London show when Amazon helpfully informed me that the kindle version of Hannah’s book was on sale at £1.99. Instant sale and a book that (like Hans Rosling) I’ve found really uplifting and has reminded me that life isn’t all 💩
I wish all this [reputable/reviewed] data was available in specialist [albeit-energy-using-though-less-so-as-they-get-better] LLM's so we could all have a digital Hannah on hand for data questions and where we [I] need things presented in accessible ways.
Very much enjoyed this episode. Prompted me to purchase Hannah's book.
Keep up the absolutely great work .❤❤
Another great interview Robert. With regards to child mortality; my grandparents had 21 children, sadly only 14 of those survived into adulthood, which means that they lost 7 children which is more than double the average family quota today. This by the way was in Liverpool, England from the late 1890’s onwards, so not that long ago & very much not a 3rd world country.
many women were pretty much constantly pregnant those days.
We have moved on my friend.
By today's standards I think every country in the world was 3rd world in 1890. My great grandfather had 11 kids in a similar time frame (1885-1900-ish) in rural Sweden, 10 became adults.
Brilliant in a thousand ways ❤❤❤❤
So, what you're telling us is that you, a beloved actor of three (four?) decades - for the BBC! - is denied by the BBC your opportunity to appear on a show because you intend to tell verifiable facts about the fossil fuel industry? Sickening. Truly disgusting to hear how the Beeb has declined in its integrity.
My first car was £180 and came with lots of rust. The battery mount was so badly corroded that the battery fell off its shelf every time I hit a bump. I loved that Austin A40.
The guy who sold it to me said, "if you have any problems come and see Big Dave", which I took to mean "Don't"!
Robert, I love your rants! Please never stop ranting!!
Fossil fuel is a limited resource. It will run out anyway. If we did nothing it would be like the world running out of heroin. The addicts would run around like headless chickens, the dealers would be offing each other to get hold of the last scraps. Its just nuts not to do anything. The question is do you want to be at the leading edge of change or do you want to be with anchors hold everything back?
It will probably run out in 50 years. By that time things will be really bad. I imagine some diehard will burn anything they can. Most likely food crops like corn to make ethanol.
A great insight on why we need to follow the data
Thank you. I've wanted you to publish your show talks for many years as I live hundreds of miles away from you UK shows. More talk videos and podcasts please.
❤ love your great commentary. Solutions focus is key ❤❤❤
If Hans Rosling has a successor, there is definitely hope for the world.
Loved meeting you and Ricky on that Saturday, Rob. Nice talking to you both. And to answer Dan's question, your show is the best (I told Ricky his was the best on his channel😅).
Keep doing what you do ❤
I really enjoyed Hannah's book. Have already bought copies for several friends.
Read Hannah's book recently - found it very informative. I was so pleased to read something positive with suggestions on how we can realistically improve our world.....
Hannah is fantastic. So knowledgeable she gives me hope for the future
Well done 👍
Hannah is clever and a great communicator. Gives me hope
Absolutely. Though I find it gets me ranting too which isn’t good for my blood pressure
My brother and I were going to go last minute to the London show but then there were engineering works at Waterloo so it couldn't happen. We'll try and make another one.
Very informative. A new way at looking at the information around, 👍😁
I wonder if Hannah will use Mr Llewellyn's recommendation on the dustcover: "buy it because it is absolutely f*cking brilliant"?
It must have worked for me - I just bought the Audiobook version
Me too! Looking forward to hearing it!
Excellent talk.
Well this is excellent.
Wow. What an amazing lady.
Love the Podcast Robert great video. In my mind efficiency is the key that people need to understand when it comes to this energy transition. Farmers I am afraid don't get it, and neither do many of the people who are supporting them in their campaign No Farmers, No Food. How are we the people pushing for renewables going to win if we don't address this backlash?
I've looked on Our World in Data and cannot find any figures for regenerative agriculture. I would love to see the impact of different methods of farming on the different categories of food. How does a cow raised locally using AMP rate against almonds raised in the large monocultures of far away California? What are the relative impacts both in terms of climate change but also biodiversity and quality of life?
The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe is a great source of information on climate change and all the fallacies and misconceptions about it.
Why dont you invite Atkinson on the podcast?
I guess it's because It will backfire as he's much more educated in EVs than any of these lot on this chanel. He also does not have any agenda unlike the others here...
@user-ij5uz5dm5j what EV education does Atkinson have? Does he have qualifications in EV tech?
@@Actually-y7jalso what's the agenda of this channel?
Electrical engineering degree and Master of Science at Oxford so more qualified to evaluate EVs than any of these lot on this chanel. The UK public have more trust in him than UK government or supporters of this channel hence the slowdown in EV sales and the reason it had to be discussed in UK parliament. Thanks!
@@Actually-y7j His electrical engineering degree was earned in 1975 and his Masters degree in 1978. Not sure that makes him qualified to rant about modern EVs.
With regards to nuclear and the plant only being on/off, this was the case for Gen 3 reactors but, there are Gen 4 designs where if the core gets too hot (i.e., you are not taking any heat from it to generate electricity) it automatically scales back the reaction rate.
This self-regulating feature is made possible through passive safety systems and the use of materials and designs that inherently reduce the reaction rate as temperatures increase, effectively preventing overheating and potential meltdown scenarios without requiring active intervention. This approach enhances the safety and efficiency of nuclear power plants, making them more adaptable to fluctuating energy demands.
This Fully Cha Show….
Brilliant.
One day when you grow up you might become the Cha Cha Show. Or even the Cha Cha Cha Show… 🕺💃
Get the audiobook Robert. I used it to pass the EV miles driving up and down the M1. Didn't fall asleep once 😂
Another thing that's often missed in these discussions is that things change over time.
Because one argument I've heard is about the carbon emissions required to make a solar panel. You do have to heat silicon up to quite a temperature to make them, because you've basically got to melt a metal - reach its melting point - and that does require energy.
But, well, things change. So there's "thin film" perovskite cells coming onto the scene and that doesn't need the super-hot "melt metals" temperatures - and it has a theoretical higher efficiency than silicon, so it'll be cheaper and more efficient (once they solve making it comparably durable to silicon).
And, even if we stick with silicon, people seem to ignore the notion of "bootstrapping". That, yes, on a fossil-fuel-dependent Grid, then the energy to melt that silicon produces so much CO2... but you're making solar panels.
So, as I put it, you make the solar panels, then you put those first solar panels on the roof of the solar panel factory. And now at least some of those CO2 emissions ain't happening.
As things are electrified, then the CO2 emissions for transport will come down. So the calculations will change over time.
And my point is that this seems almost never to be factored into any conversations on CO2 emissions and so forth - like, when you're being admonished for importing your avacado, Robert, there's typically no recognition whatsoever that the figures will change, if we fix our infrastructure to electrify everything and move to renewables.
If all the trucks were EVs and all the ships were running off green hydrogen, then the CO2 cost of shipping over the avacado could actually become vastly better and the criticism evaporates (which feeds into what Hannah's saying that you can fix climate change, the energy crisis, the economic crisis and the moral crisis all at the same time, with the right technologies - it doesn't have to necessarily come at the expensive of prosperity and comfort).
The missing caveat, I feel, is people adding "...at current rates, efficiencies and prices" to their statements. These are the numbers now. They will not be the numbers forever.
"Green" hydrogen
.
Go to 1:26:15
Roberts "Efficient combustion engine" analogy.
.
*That's the same problem as "green" hydrogen*.
.
*It . Is . Not . Green*
.
You take let's say 100GWh of renewable energy, "Store" it using hydrogen then "recover" the energy when required...
*BUT it's only 30% efficient*
.
*You WASTED ±50GWh of the 100GWh compared to an 80% Efficient Battery*
(And I'm being pessimistic on the battery efficiency!)
.
The problem?
*That's 50GWh* required "the next day" (whenever) that you need to generate... But the grid isn't 100% green and your Renewables are at 100% of their capacity.... *So you BURN 50GWh of fossil fuel to make up the difference*
.
Conclusion?
Hydrogen as a storage medium (aka "BATTERY" ) results in Fossil fuel remaining on the grid which COULD be *permenantly* removed.
.
Hydrogen *KEEPS THE GRID DIRTY*
.
*IT IS NOT GREEN*

What nonsense you type.
This recent post of yours is nothing but a history lesson.
Perhaps were you to research the hydrogen information platforms you would be able to keep yourself better informed and up to date.

I despair.
Do you really believe I read every "letter" of your rambling posts?

Just get on with it.
Sydney Olympic Park was fantastic I had such a great weekend meeting you all
What remains an enormous concern is that carbon and greenhouse gas emissions in general are increasing year on year at this time and deforestation is increasing apace and biodiversity/habitat degradation is accelerating. Several football pitch areas of forest are currently lost every minute. Time has almost run out in the fight to slow the extinction rate of species and destruction of ecosystems. We must hope that this can be turned around but looking at the indifference of so many people about these issues and their joy in riding about in gas-guzzling multi-tonne SUVs, aircraft and humongous cruise ships, it is a challenge to maintain a positive attitude. I am a scientist and trained as a medical doctor so do feel somewhat able to assess the ‘data’ and understand it all in a rational manner and continue to worry about the future my children and grandchildren are growing up in and will be living in. I live in one of the smallest houses in our village (liberally sprinkled with Range Rovers and macho ‘country’ vehicles and not an eV in sight) and surrounded by livestock farming activities. I don’t eat meat and despite the government in Wales giving away solar panels and heat pumps virtually for free, my home is one only a few that have these installed. My stance that we should all be doing these things (they are easy after all and the cheaper option) but I feel like an oddity and going against popular opinion. As I’m a pensioner I fortunately do not need to drive very much and worry about my career pathway and engagement so I do appreciate that others may have different priorities that affect their perspectives on societal health and the environment and future of our planet and it’s species. Recently a study showed that every placenta sampled contained traces of plastic so we are exposed to it at our earliest developmental stages
Currently we are in the the sixth mass extinction driven mostly by human activity,
Indeed.
Judging by some of the comments it would seem that micro plastics have invaded the brain.
It seems likely that there's already rather more plastic particles in some craniums than neurones.
I would suggest that, in fact, these plastics have replaced the calcium in some skulls long ago.
This indicates that nature has devolved some people into Mr Potato Heads, literally.
Happy to debate but humans only need respond.
Is there any data on how the way of farming change the emissions of CO2 eq?
Feeding grains? grassing? and so on?
Belt-driven dental drills. Now that's a traumatic memory I thought I'd successfully repressed. Thanks Robert!
A reflection, Robert, on your comment that our generation trashed the environment because that was the way it was:
I'm 65. My father was born in 1922 into poverty. I've learned of the hardship he suffered. It's hard to understand that from our perspective today.
Post WWII, our economies grew, and the uplifting of living standards of which Hannah spoke occurred as a result of that growth.
My comfortable upbringing and Hannah Ritchie's education all grew out of that post-war wealth.
We now know we've trashed the environment. We need to find ways to maintain and replicate that well-being for future generations in a non-damaging way.
There will be revolution if things return to the state they were for the average man in the 1920's.
Your generation, and mine, knew all sorts of things were harmful and continued to do them, so do the millennials. It cannot be denied that all currently alive generations failed in many ways. It's not like we didn't know that pollution, cigarettes, and drinking were extremely bad for us when you were a child.
Global warming as a mainstream concept has been known since the 70s ! I understand that growth came at the cost of the environment but there were a lot of chances the baby boomers had to fix the issue , but they couldn't care less. It is what it is.
I strongly agree with you, Luddite vd2ts, up until the last paragraph. I'm a year younger than you and also benefitted in the same way etc. I've been involved with ecology and the long term view of the environment since the 70's and completely agree with Bobby's summary of what we've done. I can't see how what he said suggested that we go back to the 1920's - 30's state that your last paragraph implies. We all want a future like your last-but-one paragraph
I agree. One thing that sorta annoys me is that people in developed countries are pushing ideas that if actually implemented with keep people living in developing countries poor. They are luxury beliefs. Like anyone that thinks we will be replacing fossil fuel derived products with these "green" solutions is out to lunch. These green solutions are much more expensive. I also get a bit annoyed that people think that solar is nice and clean and cheap. The polysilicon used to make solar panels almost all comes from the region of China with massive coal plants and where the forced labor camps are. It also produces a by product that is extremely toxic. Those areas look like a waste land because of all the pollution. I really believe that spending massive amounts of money trying to completely change the way the world works is just a waste of time and money for the most part. The better solution is to build for the future environment. Lots of areas have issues now with drought and then flooding. Putting the resources into capturing all the water when there is flooding so we can deal with the drought would do more than installing a massive solar plant with batteries in the long run. Getting off coal makes sense though since there is more than just a CO2 issue there. Trying to replace as many of them with natural gas would lower worldwide emissions. Also nuclear is the real solution.
@@pin65371 Accepting the cost of climate change and building for that future will include inevitable mass famine in tropical regions, wars over water supply between and within countries, mass migration out of desertified and flooded areas... They will head to developed regions like Europe, North America and Australasia. Can we/should we close our borders to starving millions whose condition we arguably caused? Perhaps you and I, and maybe even our children, won't be alive but it is our actions that will govern what world our grandchildren inherit.
Excellent peesenation, albeit a bit too long. A menu with subject discussion time points would helpful.
Why are we still allowing new house builds without solar and heat-pumps? This is insane, 100's of thousands of houses built over the last 10 years, without a single solar panel. Houses in the UK should be mandated to have as near as dammit south-facing roof slope, so at least if they won't install solar, it would make it easier for the future of the house owner
Because that would cost house builders money, so the major house builders spend effort and alot less money lobbying and donating to the major political parties, who then don't regulate as required. We are a corrupt tinpot nation.
That idea of the mandate impinges on the idea of freedom - the notion of the "the government" telling its citizens what they are and aren't allowed to do.
CLICK-BAITED
LOL
Was really looking forward to a debate between Rowan (Toby the Devil) Atkinson VS Robert (Lord of the Scrapheap) Llewellyn.
I hope Rowan is OK with you painting him as a boogeyman?
👌I've often sourced or world in data when taking on the "business as usual" narrative.
I'd like to see more of the show talks on the channel
Fossil fuel as a feed stock for chemical industry means emergency LNG can be available if necessary.
LNG is needed either way for industrial uses. If they need a lot of heat they are going to use gas or coal. Even the small reactors that are being built for industrial uses only get to around 700 deg C.
Robert you should consider interviewing Mike Casey ceo of Rewiring Aotearoa and owner of possibly the words first fully electric cherry farm.
Great episode!
I'd be interested in how tidal will fit into the picture, especially given it still seems to be in it's infancy. Unless an asteroid hits the moon it will always persist, and in which case we'll have bigger issues to worry about!
please explain.
@@TerryHickey-xt4mf "Tidal"? It's a reference to using the movement back and forth motion of the tides to generate electricity.
Good job folks. Went to the Vancouver.
Oh I know we have to have hope & do the right thing etc but we also have to face reality.
Reality is 1C was the critical threshold. It's clear now from xwx that a planet that has warmed 1C+ in 100yrs is going to drive collapse & dystopia for our communities. It's happening in real time & collapse & extinction is well underway. We're are 1.5C now & well on the way to 3C.
We need to accept this & do our best at survival now.
Cheers Robert and Hanna

So good
It might be more environmentally friendly to live in a city but the 15 minute cities are a bit scary though.
Might be better but smacks of "Big Brother".
enjoyed Hannah's book on audible
My concern is that Data is kind of looking at snapshots of what is going on at that time and doesn’t include what we need to do to improve things, and the trap of data is that if you have an idea that isn’t what is already going on, there’s no data to support it; take regenerative farming, we need to regenerate the soils and soil biodiversity which is what regenerative farming is really good at doing, mob grazing or holistic grazing as developed by Allan Savory rebuilds soil and soil biodiversity really quickly but most environmentalists can’t mentally separate food lot animal husbandry from regenerative farming. The reasons we need to switch to regenerative farming is because the fossil fuel based chemicals kill soil and soil biodiversity and it’s recognised that we don’t have many harvests left before the topsoil is gone, if you want to feed people with plants, I think it would be better to grow plants that are nutritious than the plants that we are growing now which have little nutritional value, also land that is covered with vegetation is cooler and also has been shown to attract and retain rain to areas that have become desertified, we need many more herbivores/ruminants to rebuild soils, to re green the deserts through regenerative farming.
The other inconvenient truth is that most people can’t live on plants alone and many people are finding that their health problems (including mental health problems) disappear as they eat less plants and increase their animal protein, in fact the people who follow the carnivore way of eating are curing autoimmune diseases and even schizophrenia, this poses a dilemma for the plant based food system, how do we solve this with data?
It's not ' the data ' that's the issue it's the conclusions people come to after analysing the data.
Hannah's book ordered in hardback because it is going to be read and referred to a lot.
I checked and it is 40% of world sea freight that moves oil, gas and petrochemicals. Moving from disposable fossil fuels to renewables would eliminate most of that once we have our battery materials and are recycling them and reusing them...
I passed my driving test near the end of March. Gone motability route for my daughter. I would if chosen electric but me living in a flat with only communal parking was an issue for them to add a home charger. So maybe in 3 yrs when my hybrid lease ends I can relook into it.
Also check out local chargers. We don't have a driveway either but manage to charge at a BP Pulse near the local Aldi while we shop. The local Tesco's have some slow chargers so we start off on them if they're available which in theory warms the battery a bit while we get a few things, then we go to Aldi, plug in at the Premier Inn (register number plate at desk for politeness) do the rest of the shop more cheaply and with fresher veg so win-win. We're close enough that we only lose one % of charge on the way home.
We've had an elderly parent who lives twenty five minutes away need to be rushed into hospital by car, another half an hour away. All the back and forth that's involved on quite a few occasions and only a couple of times has the car needed charging on the way back down the motorway which hasn't been a hassle, coffee and a chat soon goes by. The likelihood of emergency has meant we've kept the car topped up far more than we would have done, never park on too low a battery just in case but it's worked and we've never been anxious. It's our first EV only a 38kWh battery too but it's the "windknife" classic Hyundai Ioniq .
I know you may not be so lucky in your area but thought I'd mention it as chargers are popping up all the time...see ZapMap and other similar apps or even Google maps will show you if you put in that your journeys are via electric vehicle.
Hope this is something you didn't know and is of some help to you. 🙏👍
I was going to say.
Audit your use.
Check chargers in the vicinity of where you stop.
Note how long you're there.
.
Graze charging will be sufficient in the UK, especially for "normal everyday" use.
@judebrown4103 thank you , this is something the dealers hadn't made me aware off they just agreed with me when I've said about the communal parking issue. Now that I've gone and ordered the hybrid on Friday gone , I guess I just got to now wait until this lease is up and then I can change. Shame as I quite liked the look of the Berlingo.
Robert you re a hero, stick to your principles mate, thank you.
fabulous
Didn't the thumbnail have a picture of Mr. Bean and Kryten before? Or is there another video?
I really like Hannah's work - it's incredibly useful.
What concerns me is the casual way she sees the death of hundreds of millions of people to climate change. She has very troubling standards for the amount of death and destruction that we can morally accept without a popular revolt against the people and systems that run our society.
Oh that's a bit sad to look at it like that. You have to realise she is talking in purely statistical terms not making a comment or judgement on the amount of deaths caused by anthropogenic climate change.
She's just presenting the data for everyone to consider so that we are able to be less despondent about the terrible tragedies in the world and are encouraged to carry on trying to do something about it.
I found it inspiring to know that those deaths will be reduced the more progress the world makes.
@@judebrown4103 it's a huge moral failure that we will see hundreds of millions die because of our consumption and political failures. It dwarfs every other act of mass destruction and death ever committed in history.
I don't think we should be assuaging out guilt and outrage by just saying "well, it could be worse".
Hannah's other huge problem is that she is not being honest about his well we can do without major systemic change.
She says that degrowth (which she actually doesn't define correctly) is a non-starter because
A) she thinks its a non-starter socially
B) she thinks that it's not necessary because GDP can grow without growth in emissions
She is wrong on both counts because
1. GDP is not a good proxy for living standards
2. She ignores the potential for redistribution to help the vast majority of people actually improve their living standards even while we shut down damaging industries
3. GDP-emissions decoupling is happening but far far to slowly to get close to "green growth". A recent study showed growth with current decoupling trends would take 207 years to be fully decarbonised.
4. Because she counts GDP as the proxy for wellbeing and social utility, she completely misses the fact that taking people out of high-GDP but socially damaging industries like oil and putting them in low-GDP but high social value industries like insulation is a net benefit wellbeing, even though GDP has fallen. She would she falling GDP and say "this is a loss in living standards" while in reality living standards have improved.
She is far to attached to status quo thinking. She is trying to get the data and that framing to create a sustainable planet. But that is impossible.
Tins [cans], you forgot tins, Robert. Paper, glass & TINS, so much food was packed in cheap tins! At least we still use them for our tomatoes for making our pasta sauce... 😋😋
The Fully Charred Show?
it won't be when they stop burning stuff.
For those who are interested in the current phase (I know, I know) of having domestic "power walls" then might I direct you to a new advisory, rpt advisory, standard known as BS63100.
I speculate its status as "advisory" is to allow sparkies to come up with alternative working practices to be compliant with said BS63100.
A lot of livelihoods depend on the work and the sparkies' official bodies will need time to amend the working practices for compliance.
There are other YT platforms tied to electrical installations which deal with the new BS63100 in greater depth.
For those who haven't worked out why this new standard has appeared then its because of the risk of self igniting batteries.
And kindly don't bleat on about different battery chemistries ... clearly you're not electro chemists.
Fortunately for us the authorities who pen these British Standards are.

Percentages.
k-cars from Japan should be used as a base for good EV-vehicles. K-trucks have same bed and carry capacity as a F-150, but far smaller package. One I would like to see it the K-van version, amazing interior space with a small footprint.
I can't get over how she has the exact same accent as Fern Brady.
A book I have yet to get and read is - Change Everything by Natalie Bennett
Sounds thought provoking 🌐
I'm feeling the passion and the good info. I would like to point out one thought though. You speak of the positive vibe at the shows and bringing truthful information to all. But then in the next breath the spiky and nasty clap back. I understand the why and for the most part I feel the same. But is it helpful is what i'm questioning. Truthful conversation doesn't need to stoop to the same nasty tactics as the oil lobbies or "EV Haters". We really need to stop that as imho all it does is tell those lobbies they are working.
Again I love your passion and drive to spread truth to the world. So I hope this doesn't diminish that in any way. I would just hope lets not fight angry with angry. All that serves is to divide us even more. Thank you for your consideration.
The reality is you have to fight Fire with Fire. That has been the case since the existence of humanity.

One interesting way to get young people into electric cars is through driver training programs. Imagine the car you learn to drive in being electric. Very new idea for my part of Canada. Is this old news in other countries?
judging by what my son thinks, evs are a no brainer for the younger generation. You may find it hard for driving schools in the future to survive without an ev in their fleet.
Given that USA EV manufacturers are hell bent on faint praise for their own products, other than Tesla,, Everything Electric shows matter here more than most. What those shows and the test drives accomplish is close to unique in this country. No single OEM has the power to draw people in. They need to participate in major shows.
I can't see much sense in putting solar panels on my house in the uk. Instead I use Energise Africa to put solar in Africa and similar areas. I will consider battery storage though. Hannah Richie's book is excellent.
Can you please sort out your volume levels? The music is far louder than the talking and it makes it really difficult to listen to.
I'd love to have come, but there is no Supercharger network across the Atlantic.
Brilliant, it all makes absolute sense. Unfortunate intonation.
