When will it be fashionable to care more about #nature than a sports car?

Is the cost of a manned mission to Mars worth "it" compared to the cost of protecting the #Amazon Rainforest?

Why do they keep on selling more, & buying more, plastic bottles if plastic is contaminating the environment?

Why do political & industry leaders \ lobbyists talk about #NetZero, whilst not doing what's needed to reach Net Zero on time, & then say, but Net Zero can be reached at a much later time?

InstaVolt extends off-peak charging hours from 20:00-07:00. This must make it very appealing to anybody who doesn't have AC charging options... some of our neighbours just charge once a week at the council charger -this will provide a alternative option nearby with two more charging bays and more reliability.

This makes a lot of sense for them: I've already invested the capital in the chargers and back-end systems, this should keep the chargers busy during quiet times and if it causes some people to reschedule their charging -that provides more capacity at peak times.

Petrol stations never reduce their fuel prices at offbeat times or when it is sunny or windy.

Here's a follow up.
We've had solar panels installed for exactly five years.
Total generation: 19,134 kWh.
Average yearly: 3,826 kWh.

According to the UK's Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, the average UK household's electricity consumption is… 3,800 kWh!

So our solar panels have allowed us to reach a personal "net zero" for our electricity consumption.
In fact, we generate *more* than we use. We're an exporter of clean green electricity to our neighbours.
