Cool to see the first BC Hydro #Nacs on board charger from ABB, installations and retrofits starting January 2025! Will replace Chademo. Each location will still have some Chademo. And all will have CCS. Lots great to see Everything Electric SHOW & EXPO

Next time someone complains about how much land is needed by solar, point out that powering entire US for all purposes with PV replaces 1.24% of US land used for corn ethanol and 1.3% of US land used by fossil industry with 0.7% of land used for PV, part of which can go on roofs.

Missed #EV day, but here are a few of my favorite EV's. Mitsubishi Motors Canada was an early leader with the i-MiEV Later came the 2023 worlds bestselling car, the Tesla Model Y, which is a road trip beast. Vancouver Fire Rescue Services has the fully electric Rosenbauer Group truck!

Persuasion is a dialogue, not a diatribe. New data: Short exchanges with chatGPT reduce beliefs in unfounded conspiracy theories months later. Instead of lecturing, AI refutes false claims. The best way to challenge a view is to understand it. Relevant facts change minds.

Spent the night at the emergency room. The building is under renovation. In the waiting area they had this unique drain installation on this Daikin Applied unit I had a chuckle at. It works, but DPS water right in the doorway..

Wilk be interesting to see the impact. Vancouver has a bylaw but VPD Traffic Section doesn't seem to enforce it anymore. calgary.citynews.ca/2024/09/13/cal…

Every decade electricity in North America gets cleaner and every decade oil and gas gets more polluting. The question comes up "what about coal on the grid", and we know that each decade it gets less and renewables grow. The opposite happens with oil and gas.

This is a cool, more affordable way to get into the Vancouver home market where you only have to borrow or put up at time of buying, 60% of the market price.
