@thomasforth I support airport expansion in Gatwick, Luton, Stansted, just not Heathrow which is in a dumb location (just west of the city with the prevailing wind coming from the west)

@NaughtyNomad New Mayor has ripped out the cars and put in bike lanes which is nice as it stops lazy idiots driving their car 1km to the shop to buy a pack of cigarettes.

[Nick Touran @whatisnuclear]

@jimofbacon There are a few that do that and it's not a bad idea. But if you're going to use water you might as well use it to cool too, it's an incredibly capable coolant too. What most people fail to realize is how good LWRs from a physics, operation, and maintenance point of view.

[Jimbo Jones @jimofbacon]

@whatisnuclear Why don't more "advanced" reactors just use water for moderation separated from the coolant (lead, molten salt, gas) by a Candu style helium insulation layer? Would avoid all the problems with graphite cracking?

@RM_Transit Apparently most of these "trespassers" are mentally ill people who walk onto the tracks at stations.

@ShackelWill https://t.co/d9A6URMMLi Shrink the size of the steam generator, shrink the size of the containment dome, shrink the build time

[Jimbo Jones @jimofbacon]

@RM_Transit Yes but imagine the paperwork needed to get that done in Toronto vs Shenzhen

@rorysutherland The time has come for the AI toilet. It detects your sex on entry to the bathroom and either raises or lowers the seat.

[Jimbo Jones @jimofbacon]

@alanthefisher @billybrizzle420 One big upside is that nuclear energy regulations have been relaxed and people are finally getting to innovate and build smaller cheaper non water based reactors.

@camrynpetebrown @LewisHoldenNZ There is a place for govt setting price guiderails such as the Singapore govt does for healthcare procedures by running public hospitals, but food is a liquid commoditized market. Just create and spin out a few more chains.

[Jimbo Jones @jimofbacon]

@GarethDennis @BenKentish France has extra taxes on laerger vehicles

[Jimbo Jones @jimofbacon]

@camrynpetebrown @LewisHoldenNZ Given there is still a supermarket Duopoly in NZ, it would be more interesting if they built out a public supermarket chain, or 3 chains, then sold them off. 5 private chains become a bit of a rabel who can't coordinate prices.

@GarethDennis @edzitron I love that he gave them an interview then just put an archive paywall bypass link is his tweet!

[Jimbo Jones @jimofbacon]

@Atomicrod I think this is really a PR push by car, tire, and oil companies, as safe bike lanes plus ebikes is an easier way to get around for a lot of local trips. No traffic, no finding parking, and often a more direct route once you remove the danger of getting hit by a car

@tomaspueyo Could they actually temporarily wipe out the mosquitos in africa and asia? Really? Brazil was one country without any war zones.

[Jimbo Jones @jimofbacon]

@GarethDennis @dantomlinsonmp Zack could have a policy win by simply requiring data centers to be built in cities in the style of old industrial buildings that can then be cheaply converted to flats once the bubble is over, does he listen to you Gareth? https://t.co/6l7yFdKQfj

[Jimbo Jones @jimofbacon]

@yohaniddawela This is actually quite a strong argument for just removing the inner city freeways in most american cities and replacing them with normal roads, probably congestion charged. You could use the freed up space for rail, trams, bike lanes, housing, parks...

[Jimbo Jones @jimofbacon]

@GarethDennis @QuinnGlabicki @nytimes Why is the solar rail solar road idea so enduringly appealing to the public that it keeps appearing in articles? I think people just assume that they are unused space like a roof that can have a panel stuck on them with no consequence.

[Jimbo Jones @jimofbacon]

@GarethDennis Have you got a picture of a proper ballast shoulder?
