The EU is in the midst of finalizing a plan to completely end imports of Russian fossil fuels;

the European Commission first pledged to quit Russian fossil fuels in 2022 as a response to Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.

The imports won't completely end until 2027, but in the meantime, Czechia has achieved full independence from Russian oil for the first time in its history; the country now receives no supplies through Russia's Druzhba pipeline, ending a 60-year dependency. This is significant because Czechia previously received half its oil from Russia and had an EU exemption from the 2022 Russian oil ban.

Vanadium can be found both in Aotearoa;

... and Australia;

Obviously we don't want the mining done by the profit-obsessed corporatist sociopaths whose ecocidal views are represented in these articles. But if we can find environmentally sensitive ways to obtain this mineral, for use in grid-scale flow batteries, this could make a significant contribution to our energy independence.

As always: the cost comes before the benefit and you plan ahead for years, but the comfort is immediate.
Energy Independence does not mean off-grid, beside costs there is a more important motive to do it: lower the load off the grid.
Now you may take pen and paper. Lots of figures, calculation besides other information.
But, as stated, the conditions differ very much on the country !

"What I Learned After 1 Year with New Solar Panels" [16:39 min]

"Nov 19, 2024
It’s been a full year since I installed these solar panels and a large home battery on my new house … and I’ve got some news. They say solar power can save you thousands on energy bills, but what actually happened. This past year was a bit of a rollercoaster ride from the challenges of getting them installed to seeing how well they handled powering my all-electric house through heat waves, freezing temperatures, and a couple of small power outages. Spoiler alert: solar isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. Was my net zero house ready for all of it? Was I able to achieve net zero energy? And most important … was it worth it? Let’s just say, I learned some pretty surprising lessons that may be of use to you."

#OnshoreWind in the #UK makes zero sense unless you approach it like this; #CommunityEnergy - #EnergyIndependence - #decarbonization.
#Bravo to #DaleVince & #Ecotricity for proposing a #renewableenergy scheme which benefits all of #Gloucestershire (not just #EnergyGrifters). Perhaps they could also decommission that abysmal #BioMass generating debacle as well? #AskingForAFriend

Stroud Times · Power to the people: Dale Vince reveals ambitious plans | Stroud TimesFollowing the Government’s decision to lift the ban on onshore wind, Ecotricity chief Dale Vince has launched a big new push to sign up landowners to deliver energy independence, public ownership and 100% green electricity to all 628,000 people living in Gloucestershire.
