Tesla are a bit notorious for underperforming their rated range by more than competitors. And in one test, a tesla conked out at almost exactly the same point as another EV, but the Tesla's odometer showed it having travelled significantly farther. I just wouldn't put much past Tesla when it comes t...

True, but yachts struggle to go much beyond their hull speed. When there's excess wind that's not adding much to speed, that might be the appropriate time to charge the battery from the propeller. Not that frequently I'll grant.

Wonder how it got on for rest of 2024

Michael Barnard's a bit uncomfortably strident in his arguments for me, but he at least tries to use statistics where possible. He estimates about 40%

Methinks you're rude, and struggle with logic.

I didn't say shipping doesn't need to decarbonise. It does, and needs to urgently.

I just pointed out that the shift to renewables and EVs will help.

I'm sure you've all heard the argument that demand for shipping will reduce drastically anyway as we switch to renewables and EVs.

No need for oil, coal or LNG tankers, which collectively make up a large proportion of total shipping.

Interestingly, solar has already nearly achieved the average from last year (currently 1.5GW average vs. 1.51GW last year).

With a couple more months until the longest day, unless weather is particularly poor we should achieve a decent year on year increase.

The figures are as per Countrypaul's comment. Realise some installed solar will show up as reduced demand.

Nowty's post reinforces the point that installed capacity growth has been glacial in recent years.

If you look at average annual solar generation, growth of the last several years has been depressingly, and surprisingly, slow. Figures from iamkate: 2015: 0.96GW 2016: 1.09 2017: 1.18 2018: 1.31 2019: 1.33 2020: 1.37 2021: 1.28 2022: 1.40 2023: 1.39 2024: 1.51 i.e. only just over 50% growth in last...

I just received notifcation from NESO of a new solar record today of 12.2GW.
