Page 10 from July 2025 edition of Which? magazine - letter from Matthew Chell about the lack of electric charging points at motorway service stations

This month I have achieved, if not 15 minutes, then 6 column inches of fame as letter of the month in Which? magazine, with a good old moan about electric charging points at motorway service stations. Am I now a "celebrity"?

And in other news, our household's carbon emissions are down too. This Spring's total, 0.14 tonnes CO2e, is an amazing 85% reduction on last year's (household gas and electricity, diesel for car). How? Change to heat pump and electric vehicle.

Carbon Brief graph of China's CO2 emissions 2017-2025 showing, for the first time, a drop from the previous year.

Greenhouse gas emission declining in China. Hopefully an end to that persistent trope "Why should we do anything when China's emissions dwarf ours?".
