Climate Change Affects Everyone, So Choose a Hybrid Generator

Date: 14/04/25

Here at Think Hire, our innovative hybrid generators lead the industry in providing a sustainable solution to temporary site power. Flexible and portable, robust and reliable, they can be deployed almost anywhere, from long term construction sites to temporary road and rail repairs. That’s why they have become the sustainable energy system of choice for companies large and small the length and breadth of the UK.

Of course, you may wonder why you need to consider switching to a hybrid generator from Think Hire. After all, it can seem like climate change is having little effect right here in Britain. For many people, climate change is about rising sea levels threatening low-lying islands in far away oceans. But sadly, this is far from the case, as a recent study by Climate Central, reported in Time Magazine has shown.

Climate change is affecting 1.8billion people

Climate Central are ‘an independent group of scientists and communicators who research and report the facts about our changing climate and how it affects people’s lives’. Their recent report showed that climate change is more extensive, and affects more people, than ever before.

The report looked at the weather between December 2024 and February 2025 and found that a staggering one in five people around the world experienced temperatures that were strongly influenced by climate change every single day. Not occasionally, not as part of a freak weather event, but every day. What’s more, in as many as half of the 220 countries studied, people experienced temperatures that were influenced by climate change on at least a third of the days that quarter.

On 28th February 2025, no less than 3billion people, equal to 37% of the global population, experienced temperatures strongly influenced by climate change.

Here and now

“Climate change is happening here and now and is not something of the future,” says one of the report’s authors, Kristina Dahl, vice president for science at Climate Central. “People are experiencing it every day.”

Fortunately, the solutions are available here and now too, and you can access them with just a quick call to Think Hire. You may think that anything you can do is too small to make a difference to such a big problem, but that’s putting the thinking the wrong way around. Don’t think about making a small difference in a big world, think about making a big difference in your small world.

A big difference to your CO2 emissions. A big difference to your noise pollution. And above all, a big difference to your bottom line.

Hybrid generators generate savings too

The great news is that playing your part in the fight against climate change doesn’t need a big investment; in fact it will actually save you money. Not only does a hybrid generator cut your greenhouse gas emissions, they also cut your running costs too. A hybrid generator combines solar powered generators with a traditional diesel generator back up. This minimises fuel use, while still delivering dependable power 24/7 day and night if required.

This is not just a theory; our case studies show that switching to a hybrid generator from Think Hire cut operating costs by as much as 58% for Cora Homes, 64% for G&V Gallagher Ltd, and an impressive 71% for Miller Homes. A hybrid generator delivers real savings in real life operational situations, and they can do the same for you.

Half the world is experiencing climate change first-hand on a regular basis, so the time to take action is now. And when saving the planet means saving on your operating costs too, it’s the easiest choice to make. To find out more about hybrid generators for your site, contact Think Hire today.
