The case is as I understand as you said but with the growing ability to source green gas from biogas sources, which whilst common in Europe are rare in the US. Many UK farmers have biogas tanks and make a lot of cash from them. We also collect methane from waste sites via vent pipes. The US just doesn't very much, but it's starting.
Lentil Dahl is so easy, as is chickpea curry. Mushrooms are another option and other beans & pulses, Spices and flavour are the key and not trying to replicate a meat meal. Quorn burgers / sausages are enough to put anyone off!There's not much I can do to my house as I don't own it, but my housing association started taking measures to improve energy efficiency a good few years ago. Re-doing the cavity wall and loft insulation was the first step, followed by new double-glazing. The next step was to install solar thermal panels on the roof, a measure that had an instant effect on the electricity bill. A year or so later, they installed a new heating system with an air-source heat pump; this further reduced the energy bill. Most of the lights in the house are on low-energy bulbs, apart from the fluorescent light in the kitchen and one single incandescent bulb in a cupboard that only gets used for a few seconds at a time; the former is on its way out and will be replaced soon, while the latter will be replaced when it decides to blow (I'm not chucking out a perfectly good bulb when it's rarely used).
As for my diet, I'm still a meat-eater, but I do eat far less of it than I used to, and have done over the last 20 years or so. Having previously shared a house with a vegetarian and two vegans, I found it quite easy to adapt meals that I would normally make with meat such as mince, first by using Quorn mince or similar. More recently, I have been experimenting with different lentils as a substitute. Having said that, nothing beats a big plateful of mince'n'tatties!
According to the BBC, one of the junctions they're blocking is J14 "for Heathrow Terminal 5". Might I suggest that, if they wanted to properly mess up access to Heathrow, they should've blocked J14a?
Annoying yes, polluting probably but not as bad as the UK Government deferring home heating & insulation standards endlessly since 2017, bankrupting small businesses last year with their unworkable home insulating programme and still having nowt in place!
That what the problem in Western, there is a serious disconnect between "middle class climate activists" and the general public. From Greenpeace to Extinction Rebellion, the crack is increasing, not merging.
The report i read said they had been arrested, do you have information to the contrary?
That's what their demo is about and that group's aims
Not true. The gap between the squeezed middle classes and the working classes is the smallest it has ever been. The pay & wealth of middle classes in many professions is now little different to a skilled working class person.
Would you strike for better pay, safer working conditions and demonstrate about it? Railway staff are particularly good at that! The public really love that . . .not!
So train drivers go on strike because of a safety issue. I have never observed any support from the passengers finding no trains running, just scathing comments.
Unless your mileage is very low. You will need a very large roof and an awful lot of batteries to charge an EV from solar. You will also not be able to go out from October to March.
I achieve 50% of my annual mileage on solar, 10k pa
You may not know what I mean, the quotes l marked means that they are not actually progressive people, they may joined them just feel cool.
What size of panels have you got?
6.5kW SE facing. A DNS request will always allow you 6kW, instead of 4kW without a request. My system simply limits export to 6kW
So what you are saying is that you're pv system is exporting enough electricity to the grid to offset the cost of 5000 miles of EV use of grid mix electricity which is largely generated through fossil fuels? I'd love see the calculations for this!
My annual generation exceeds my total consumption.
I hate to disappoint you but Gas Turbine power generation alone in the UK very rarely drops below 10GW and never below 5 GW even at night. Electricity is never renewable only. It reached a peak during Spring 2020 of around 47% but has fallen back since despite a small increase in peak capacity.
I have a 7.2kW smart charger that harvests spare solar power in the day or sectors in the night when CO2 emissions are minimal.
It's out of our hands in UK. The climate industry has frightened young school children who now think the land will burn and the sea will boil. I have listened to young children say that and draw illustrative pictures. They covid and climate industies are scaring spoiling many childrens' lives. How many academics are funded by unelected pressure groups I wonder.
Children are frightened by the shear stupidity of the adults destroying their future. Its the deniers and those with their heads buried in the sand that are the problem.
There is a record low in wind thus dirtier electricity at the moment. You will see this is big electricity price increases.
