Every day, ships leave this russian owned factory in Ireland straight for St Petersburg carrying thousands of tonnes of raw alumina for the war machine.
There’s corruption everywhere. Locals tell me politicians are bought by oligarchs.
Ireland is no longer militarily neutral.
Direct Air Capture, once the darling of climate tech, is struggling. I wrote about a fascinating effort to buy IP and experimental data from failing startups before their learnings are lost to time, and make it available for others to carry forward

@LindsayJS@ramez@dbinthed Check out the Yale cooling conference to be held in a few weeks Yale Cooling Conference 2026 | Discover Sustainable Cooling Solutions - Register Now https://t.co/uO3n9Kn2am
For about a decade, I’ve been showing these two slides at conferences.
Two hunter-gatherer populations (Hadza and Tsimane), likely the closest living humans to our Paleolithic ancestors.
Diet:
• 65��70% carbohydrates
• 15-20% protein
• 10–15% fat
• ~13% lower daily caloric intake than the US population
Daily movement:
• 115–135 minutes per day
• 6–12 km of walking
Health outcomes:
• Obesity: ~2%
• Type 2 diabetes: ~1%
• Cardiovascular disease: among the lowest ever observed
This is not a low-carbohydrate population. The difference is metabolic fitness.
When mitochondria are continuously stimulated by daily movement, carbohydrates can be oxidized (burnt).
When movement disappears, fuel oxidation fails and metabolic disease emerges.
The debate should not be low-carb vs high-carb. That debate has failed to solve obesity or type 2 diabetes for decades.
The real question is:
Can your mitochondria still do their job?

@Ross_Hunt@DrAndyGalpin The actual article talks about excessive exercise leading to lactate which does not necessarily imply excessive lactate. What is the definition of excessive exercise in this case?
Closed loop (@Eavor) and enhanced geothermal (@fervoenergy) technologies, both of which are now operating commercially, can expand geothermal from a gigawatt-scale resource available in just a few places to a terawatt-scale resource available practically everywhere. One of the most exciting developments in clean energy of the past two years!
Human rights and nature are the perennial enemies of profit. Societies which fail to see this are on a path to lose all of their human rights, and all of their natural environments.
