With so little generation from burning stuff on the grid today, this must be close to a record low of gCO2/kWh?

Anyone know the numbers?

That is pretty low, the record is 39g / kWh on 5th April 2021 (Easter Monday for extra low demand).

Winds banging hard round here, 32 odd mph started yesterday with rain beating back the heat, that turned into high winds which are setting off alarms, looks like it will be a monster of a summer storm as hot air gets sucked up, anyone had sheet lightning yet? (got to be imminent)

Looking at the windmap, I reckon you, me and Moxi are getting the worst of it at the mo.

I'm glad I strengthened my front fence footings last week. :D
