* BATTERY ELECTRIC BUS TAKEOVER! Battery electric bus numbers have overtaken diesel buses in Europe for the first time - the first time a zero-emission technology has been dominant for a road transport sector in Europe!
* TESLA Y AS WORLD'S BEST-SELLING CAR! Tesla Model Y has outsold Toyota Corolla with internal combustion engine vehicle and becomes the world's best selling car in 2023! Highly significant and challenges Toyota's dominance with hybrids!
* YOU'RE PAYING NEAR $2.00/LITRE FOR PETROL? Well, know that only about 30 cents of that is powering your car! The rest is goiong up in smoke! - ONLY ABOUT 15% OF THAT IS ACTUALLY POWERING YOUR CAR!
* THAT'S RIGHT! '85% of the petrol you put into your car is wasted as heat' [THE CONVERSATION' 12/5/23]
* That means 85% OF YOUR PETROL GOES INTO THE AIR AS EMISSIONS!
* ELECTRIC CARS DON'T HAVE ANY EMISSIONS!
* LACK OF INFORMATION MAYBE THE MAIN CAUSE OF RESIDENTS OF BRADFIELD NOT TAKING POSITIVE ACTION AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE - 'WHAT SHOULD I DO?' HOW DO I DO IT?'
*Survey research by Ku-ring-gai Council 'Net Zero' Team found that one of the main barriers reported by respondents for NOT taking positive action against climate change is because of a lack of information!
* This is supported by reponses to Electrifying Bradfield's own social survey.
* Two 'problems' with solar panels and reasons for 'why I'm not installing them' that are said to me constantly are that 'manufacturing solar panels uses a lot of [fossil-fuel) energy' and 'they can't be recycled - we're going to have our rubbish dumps filled with old solar panels'!
WRONG! JUST ANOTHER TWO MYTHS THAT NEED TO BE CHALLENGED AND CORRECTED!
* In latest developments researchers at Macquarie University, Sydney have made two significant discoveries in the manufacture and recycling of solar panels!
* Some of the biggest energy providers in Australia are our very worst emissions polluters!
* Recent study by CHOICE shows several of our biggest electricity providers are also the biggest polluters!
*You may well be surprised - even those purported to be offering 'green energy' - for a price!
Check it out on the CHOICE website - you can easily get a one-off entry! - or you can join!
* Check to see if you are being supplied by one of the big polluters - then get advice about how easy it is to change!
* We've established that cooking or heating with gas is not the best thing to do for anyone who suffers from any sort of asthma or lung condition - because up to 30% of the gas goes into the room and not into the cooking!
* Well now we've also established a similar impact on our health! Increasing air pollution from burning fossil fuels in motor vehicles!
*11,000 Australians now die every year from diseases attributed to air pollution! This is more than die from skin cancers!
Saturday 19th February:
* NSW Treasurer Matt Kean announced an $8 million fund for pilot community electrification projects.
* A pilot project is a community-based demonstration of renewably produced electrification in a town or community,
* Could be your house, apartment block, estate, street, community, shopping centre, whole suburb!
* Funding will be allocated by application - $8 million won't go far so if you're interested get in quick
