If only there were a cautionary tale about being too eager to accept the apparent time-saving capabilities of new technology.

Lots of news coverage this morning about £28 billion investment approved to upgrade the UK's energy network.

BUT: The majority of the spending – £17.8 billion - announced today is to maintain Britain’s gas networks rather than build new transmission lines.

“We also spend too much time worrying about the last 10% of decarbonisation instead of doing the first 80–90%, which we already know how to deliver so that the energy itself and the energy services will become cheaper.”

This should be tattooed on every govt and industry leader.
Estonia is often called the EU’s most climate‑sceptic country – which made my interview with @erikmoora.bsky.social at Eesti Ekspress so timely.

Leaked OBR report confirms electricity consumers will start paying for Sizewell C nuclear plant using a risky PFI-like financial scheme initiated by Boris Johnson and that we'll pay for years before the plant even produces any electricity - if it ever does.

How long is it until ‘X’ is sued for defamation?
I've just been called a "rape enabler" by the X AI tool Grok. This is a shocking allegation which has totally taken me aback & beyond anything I've ever encountered in normal political discourse. These AI tools are supposed to be there to serve us honestly with facts. Disturbing.

We really, really need to crush the "we need nuclear for baseload with renewables" meme and the attempt to make "renewables and nuclear" a meaningful phrase. Nuclear power is filthy and potentially lethal and will leave a dangerous legacy for generations. We need to get rid of it and stay rid.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."
