Amazing new battery from Chinese battery maker CATL. Elliot Richards braved the cold in inner Mongolia to find out more. Brrrrr. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZX0q...

I have written something about Finding Harmony. It's very important for all of us to find a bit of harmony. llewellyn.substack.com/p/finding-ha...

I'm just mildly excited. By the middle of next week I might have set up my sparking new online book shop. I will no doubt be bellowing and spruiking about it like a cockney market stall holder in Hackney.

Just for a moment forget about politics of China and USA. We know China's massive energy demands relied heavily on burning imported coal. Can't think of another industrialised country that burned a metric sh!t ton of coal for 100 years. Anyway, China is now burning less, oh yes, and USA burning more

There was a time when I might have commented ’peak idiocy’ but we’re nowhere near that yet. Let’s send illegal immigrant kids down the mines. Let’s send kids up chimneys to clean ‘em. Let’s do too told of libs choking to death o. Coal smoke. Clean coal =freedom!

Okay, it’s bloody cold in North Wales, we are shooting a small electric car road trip all the way to Cardiff today. Limited range? City car up mountains? Not many chargers? We do it so you don’t have to.

Utterly shiteful adverts. This one's right up there. Bald man in suit inspects a solar panel... why? And the text, clumsy, pitiful 'trick' to try and make you click the wretched, corrupt link. I know loads of electricians and none of them agree. And solar panels work on any roof you muppets.

I'm not opposed to nuclear power, however, I might be slightly ecomically skeptical. I've written something about it, sparked by recent conversations with very pro nuclear folks who really know the technology well and are very bullish about it. llewellyn.substack.com/p/britains-p...

Tech in China. Our new podcast, First episode, let us know what you think in the YouTube comments. Elliot Richards, temporarily known as @handle.invalid and I discuss the latest tech developments and trends from China. youtu.be/fC04DDiVRIk

Two things. Mandelson being given ambassador job. Utter disgrace. But this type of Shitefull behaviour was an everyday scandalette under Johnson. The current administration still aren’t a patch on the last bunch of inept and corrupt posh boys.

D’you remember when we thought Mr Gates was a decent chap? No, me neither. Utter scum sucking molusc.

Just had a polite, apologetic rant about the total global collapse in demand for electric vehicles. I hope it is informative and entertaining. llewellyn.substack.com/p/collapses-...

No question, the Electric Car Grant in the UK has helped, but it may surprise some that Ford are the UK's number 1 best selling electric car brand last month, and the Ford Puma Electric is the best selling model! Jack had a go in it last year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJUD...

I'm loving all the lists of people who have not, and never would be mentioned in the Epstien files. Asylum seekers, poor people, reasonable people with a basic understanding of morality, and of course 99.99% of the global population. It's just a few rich, white, 'Oh I'm totally innocent' blokes.

I'm in the process of setting up an online bookshop that only stocks one book. Do you think anyone will buy a copy? My latest offering, the Ghost Camera, recounts a ground breaking science experiment that doesn't exactly work, but does something very weird. All observed by the laboratory janitor.

Finally sending out the remaining copies of The Ghost Camera to the very patient supporters on Unbound before the company went under. #fulfilment

Okay. Check this out. At last, a solid sign of potent resistance in the USA. "A monthlong national economic strike, a coordinated campaign that targets tech and AI companies and inflicts maximum damage with minimum impact on consumers" www.profgalloway.com/resist-and-u...

Quick vid on @globalenergymon.bsky.social's new gas plant tracker update: US planned gas increased 3x, 1/3rd of that is JUST dedicated, off-grid gas plants for data centres! @mrchrisadams.bsky.social's new term applies perfectly here: PETROTECH globalenergymonitor.org/report/betti...

I am struggling with what to do, and I know I'm not alone. But that aside, there is a shift taking place, a big, global realignment and it will affect us all. llewellyn.substack.com/p/melania-an...

I've always felt that one of the most important aspects of newly emerging electric ground transport technology is that we can use the stuff we make the cars/vans/busses/trucks with, again, and again. (hard to do that with fossil fuel) www.youtube.com/watch?v=zY8a...

Tiny scintiller of hope from Mr Springsteen

I would rather drill my own teeth than watch this piece of crap. Massive posters all over London. They’ve spent big money trying to flog this tired old trumpy whitewash

"more than 90 per cent of new renewable power is cheaper than building new fossil fuel plants. Investors see it. Governments see it. Communities feel it. Clean energy is faster to deploy, cheaper to run and more resilient in an increasingly volatile world." www.un.org/en/un-chroni...

Just watched Mark Carney's extraordinary speech at Davos. A brilliant response to the orange narcissist Epstien pal pedo. Truly worth a watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=btqH...

The new Volvo EX60. An electric car that can go much, much further than any human bladder, on one charge. Stop to wee, not to charge. youtu.be/nU88Ub9BMLc

Here's a brief history of the media chatter rise of hydrogen fuel cell car and it's final demise. It's over, and all the hydrogen bros who endlessly demanded that hydrogen was the future are very quiet now. llewellyn.substack.com/p/hydrogen-w...

You know the whole ‘gas as a transition fuel.’ Lots of it used to come from little Putin and his bent mates who hadn’t fallen out of a window. Now lots of it come from bulky skid mark trumpy pants. Might be a good move not to need to import effing gas at all. Just a thought.

You've got to admit he's good at distracting everyone from the Epstien files, which he is clearly in big time. Up to his weird neck. Look, Greenland! Look Venezuela! Look, Minneapolis! I haven't forgotten about the Epstien files, have you?

Córy Doctorow with another verbal bullseye: pluralistic.net/2026/01/13/n...

Tragic 'reporting' from UK sort of news outlet, Birmingham Live. Apparently electric cars are over and drivers are 'at risk.' Forget EVs, just keep driving diesel. llewellyn.substack.com/p/the-relent...

What a grubby little skid mark this jenrick loser is. These are deeply sick people who need help, in a secure institution

Hopefully some interesting and mainly positive new from Everything Electric Tech www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIj8...

A glimpse back at a very lively debate which seems to have faded into history. llewellyn.substack.com/p/hydrogen-i...

That's a nice surprise. We're number 2! www.millionpodcasts.com/technology-p...

Temporary power, permanent consequences 💥

I've written (and had published) quite a few books over the past 30 years. It's a crazy addiction, I have tried to stop but I've given up trying. I've got two new books in the mix at the moment. llewellyn.substack.com/p/books-are-...

Smaller, lighter, cleaner, longer lasting, cheaper to operate, capable of powering your home, better to drive. Some of the most obvious aspects of the new Kia EV2. youtu.be/-Sum7x6435I

I sat and watched a train go by. A really big, really long train heading for the coast. llewellyn.substack.com/p/lovely-cle...

The word of the day is: #autogolpe. It's a self-coup, through which an elected leader seizes power, neuters or dissolves the legislature, and subverts the Constitution. That term seems relevant these days, don't you think? #Resist #NoWar Gift Article: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/o...

Is it seriously possible that MPs and the UK Government have any twitter accounts. In 2026. I’ll go boarder, does anyone who is not an avowed nazi still use that filth bucket?

‪Robert Llewellyn‬ ‪@bobbyllew.bsky.social‬ · now The most boring and obvious comment I have ever made regarding global politics. 'How dare Russia invade Ukraine!' 'How dare China consider invading Taiwan!' 'The USA bombing Venezuala and saying they will 'run the country,' . . .oh that's fine.'

I wrote about my writing, and having daft ideas. My problem being, I just had another one. llewellyn.substack.com/p/daft-ideas...

Happy New Year from Brisbane. (It’s still 2025, this was early evening fireworks)

I have never aligned myself to any political party. Not in 70 years. But now it's time. I am Radical Left Scum and proud of it.

I wrote about being 70, and the Suez crisis. I think it makes sense llewellyn.substack.com/p/2026?r=ogzpg

I love this idea but I can’t help reflecting that I had to put up with a decade of ‘electric cars will melt the grid’ nonsense. Now we know AI data monsters will mash the grid to pulp and it’s all ‘let’s panic and build more generation.’ Lovely. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I don’t wish to be judgemental but could it be time to ignore vile rich tossers and their pathetic lives and make reality TV shows about people who do something useful? I know, I live in a radical leftist scum bubble, but really?

A gentle, data rich and hopefully informative chat rounding up electric vehicle and clean tech news from 2025, and some speculation of what's to come in '26 www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tb6...
