Il premier francese Gabriel Attal a Marine Le Pen: «C'è motivo di chiedersi se le truppe di Putin non siano già nel nostro Paese, sto parlando di lei e delle sue truppe, Madame Le Pen»

In 2024 the UK real estate sector is stubbornly anchored to the 19th century. For no reason, the building freeholder in which I live is blocking my access to fiber cable. UK politicians love to boast about innovation, but in fact UK could be very backward. Let's hope for change.

They killed him, because even in jail he threatened a regime that thrives on lies and secrets https://t.co/gk6c3aBqJJ

It is not high-tech but I strongly believe that hydro with large dams and pumped storage will play a key role.

Large dams are the only economical seasonal storage and pumped hydro are great for balancing daily solar output.

Can we still expand hydro in Europe ?

For all the folks who read Vaclav Smil and claim that we're doomed because energy transitions take hundreds of years.

Here's the share of coal of UK electricity generation. It went from 39% in 2012 to 1% in 2023.

This trend has a boringly obvious explanation. Boys and girls used to hang out together more. The girls made the boys more liberal and the boys made the girls more conservative. But now the boys are at home playing shooter games, and the girls are at home posting on Instagram.

Have incumbent car makers been asleep at the wheel?

16 out of the top 20 models are either Tesla or Chinese.

Will established brands ever be able to catch up?

The first global temperature data is in for the full month of September. This month was, in my professional opinion as a climate scientist – absolutely gobsmackingly bananas. JRA-55 beat the prior monthly record by over 0.5C, and was around 1.8C warmer than preindutrial levels.

Horrific. THOUSANDS of Ukrainian children have been taken by Russia - with many sent to re-education camps to replace their love of Ukraine with "a love of mother Russia"
