We must all prioritise:
My concerns are over the Climate Emergency that you declared in 2020 but where actions are sadly lacking as we carry on with business as usual.
- Renewables are essential. My wife and I have found that our solar array has given us a total energy bill of £48 for the last four weeks.
- Energy storage is essential. We have a 14 kWp battery that takes cheap electricity in the early hours of the morning to use later in the day. It helps to balance the grid that is important.
- Energy efficiency is obvious. One way is to use existing transport infrastructure for their original design purpose and not wasting energy/resources or converting heavy rail to another transport mode! What am I thinking of?!
- Reduce demand for energy is urgent. That means NOT doing very nice but rather greedy luxuries like HS2, mixing up heavy rail and light rail, and not doing Sprint buses, the bus that thinks its a tram, alongside all the other transport modes between Walsall, Brum and Solihull. Be content with two rather than four modes!
