What do we do with millions of decommissioned wind turbines??

[Latimer Alder @latimeralder]

UK makes about 1% of global emissions.

Whatever we do will have a minuscule effect on the climate

So why are we choosing to be the first/only country to impoverish ourselves with #NetZero?

I don't want us to be poor and cold.

I want us to be rich and warm

#NetZero

'the bill for decarbonising the UK economy is around five times the cost of the whole world simply adapting the problem away.'

So why are we doing this?

What madness has overcome our rulers?

Its economic suicide. With malice aforethought

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

Remembering one of the co-inventors of the first transistor: Walter Brattain, who was born on this day in 1902 and awarded the 1956 physics prize.

The transistor revolutionised electronics and made it possible to make cheaper and smaller devices, such as radios and smartphones.
