“What about the batteries?” I asked - Volvo uses #blockchain technology to track and trace the cobalt it obtains and uses in its electric vehicle batteries, to make the most sustainable choices.
That’s when I fell in love !
This baby is the S60 hybrid car — hybrid meaning it runs on electric and petrol. Running on hybrid reduces greenhouse gas emissions. The batteries are also charged kinetically! During gentle braking with the brake pedal, the car's kinetic energy is converted to electrical energy, which is used to charge the hybrid battery.
Across the next six months I’ll be sharing with you my journey with Volvo. If you have any questions drop them below and I’ll try to answer them in the comments or in my next posts!
(Btw did you know that bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants in the world. This makes it particularly suitable as a tool for carbon sequestration (absorbing carbon) compared to other trees, and as a result, has a high ability to mitigate climate change - source: INBAR/ UNEP)

20 greenhouse plants 在 台電阿凱 Facebook 的最佳解答
分享已退休10年的台電老員工受訪的幾段話,
核能,不管你是擁核還是反核,各有各的好,也各有各的不好,
不管做什麼選擇,台灣人就必須面對承擔這選擇,
不要只會罵,因為只出一隻嘴罵且不用負責的人,台灣太多了,
台灣需要的是會做事的人,
選擇,也要承擔。
「我已經退休十年了,我以前在台電當所長. 我做了快50年,我是一畢業就考進去了.
我年輕那時候,台灣經濟剛剛起飛, 所以我經歷了那個過程. 那時候的台灣工業發展迅速, 電都不夠用, 所以火力廠的機組. 如果跳機就很慘, 很緊張, 電不夠的時候, 有一陣子用電很吃緊, 停機備用的機組續電至少要20%. 這樣有一台機器跳電, 備用的機器馬上可以接上來.
台電會看電力要怎麼分配才好. 後來就開始蓋更多的發電廠, 也開始蓋核能電廠! 跟別的國家比, 台灣只有20%-30%而已 !
我覺得核能應該要繼續存在阿 ! 大家不曉得核能的重要, 火力發電燒煤會產生很多二氧化碳, 造成溫室效應 我自己在台電工作過,我知道台灣需要核能. 你那麼怕死嗎 ? 你以為核能那麼危險嗎 ?」
「但像日本發生海嘯, 台灣也有很多地震, 萬一有意外呢 ? 」
「意外,那也是幾十年才一次.日本的海嘯讓他們核能電廠的冷卻系統無法正常運作,但這是很罕見的意外情況. 這種事情一百年都不一定會碰到 台灣的核電廠不會有這種事情發生,台灣的核電廠不會被海水淹沒,都蓋在很安全的地方. 」
"I have been retired for 10 years and used to work at Taipower as a manager then a director of department for almost 50 years. I got into the company right after graduation. I remember, at that time, Taiwan's economy was just taking off. With a rapid industrial development, electricity supplies were not enough so we were very tight for a while. Of course, we had spare machines to replace units that were at a low level (like 20%).
The company would look to see where to allocate the power. Then, we started to build more power plants, and even nuclear power plants. If we compare with other countries, Taiwan is only covered by 20% -30% of nuclear power!
I do think we should keep using the nuclear energy. No one understands the importance of this energy. Fired power plant are used with coal, oil or gas...it produces a lot of carbon dioxide, creates greenhouse effect...I know that, I have been working in this field since a long time. Taiwan needs the nuclear energy. Are so afraid to die? Do you think nuclear energy is so dangerous?"
" How about the tsunamis in Japan? Taiwan has also a lot of earthquakes, what if there is any accident?"
" Accidents happen once a while every ten years. Japan's tsunami prevented the cooling system of their plant to work properly, but this is a very rare and unforeseen circumstance. This kind of accident might not happen in the following hundred years in Taiwan. Taiwan's nuclear power plants won't be submerged. There are all covered in very safe places."
