It’s a target not a contract. We just need to get there as quickly as possible. Note O’Leary has no alternative. Just wants to be left alone to make as much money as he can as quickly as he can.

You should have a go at the Italian domestic habit of using disposable plastic plates at every meal. So wasteful. But I fear promoted by the strong Italian polymer industry.

Frightening. ‘New facilities running in whatever energy source is available ’. That means mostly fossil fuels. All that decarbonisation effort in transport, industry etc looks like being blown out of the water

Interesting and temporarily useful. But misses the point that use of AI is exploding and its energy use exploding with it which is going to rapidly wipe out hard won gains. It’s not use of occasional ChatGPT causing this but embedding AI in everything. Casual use is encouraging it too.

Don’t believe everything you read!! Some people seem to extrapolate beyond the moon! And they seem to dominate the written space - because it is shocking

Universities now (mostly) have much broader academic careers frameworks and recruitment: R, T (yes really), ac citizenship, outreach. So some progress. Still some informal (lazy) bad practice as you say.

Agreed. We need drivers of innovation in society not just in academia. Surprised the figure so low. I think significantly higher in Western Europe.

Negative contribution to sustainability is a huge problem especially with AI hype. We are blowing sky high any hard won gains on energy reduction

Involved in a project in Sicily looking at getting Mg and Li from Med water (also power and purified water). Discovered that 80% of worlds Mg comes from China! Key msg from podcast - needs strategic systems thinking. RAEng does champion this.

No surprises for the Chemical Engineer (except white sand via fish poop) but good to hear from economist. Siloed thinking on supply chains and no engineering training in policy makers. As he said needs more nuance and collaborative working. Thanks.
