I suspect I'll make myself unpopular again, but I welcome this. Small modular reactors make decarbonising heavy industrial processes; hydrogen production; grid balancing and other tasks easier. We don't need to choose between SMRs and renewables. We can have both.

Actually most bicyclists are okay to bike in rain (yes severe rain does pose risk of fall but it is possible to bike in light rain)
One of my former German colleague used to bike 34 kms (each way) from late March up until early December

The thing Vivek, JD Vance ( through his wife ), Elon and others are going to understand very soon ( even Nick Fuentes due to his family name ) is how racism takes no prisoners…

In a letter to all 100 U.S. Senators, William Webster, the only person ever to lead both the FBI and CIA, wrote that neither Patel nor Gabbard meets the demands of top intelligence jobs. At 100 and still at the top of his game, Webster deserves to be heeded.

Seville, Spain eliminated 5,000 car parking spaces and built an 80 km protected cycling network in just 18 months with 32 million €.
Result: An average 70,000 bike trips a day.

Jacqueline nails it, as always: Twitter is literally a dangerous place now for women everywhere and all walks of life. Musk is pathetic.
Women are the canaries in the coal mine of how bad Twitter is now. It’s not just about echo chamber blah blah. It’s unsafe— when huge accounts like this guy w/ 400k followers (Fox contributor too) single out a random woman minding her business so mobs can attack her. And no block feature!

I have a lot more coming about these guys and their connection to Trump Media financiers and the Burisma consolidating oligarchs (ironic) coming up. Stay tuned 🤪
An interesting item found by @braisincapital.bsky.social - per a BurTech filing Shahal Khan (who worked with ETT's Christopher Condon who paid FBI informant Alexander Smirnov $600K) had a joint venture with American Ethane, once reported to be 90% owned by Russians (close to Putin & Maria Butina)
As filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 18, 2021.
