Well, wasnt that the whole point, just like their comrades in Europe who use the same slogans to attack companies that make some much needed stuff for Ukraine.

Is the level/speed of electrification of the economy an important factor in a government’s borrowing costs?

Wait, what do you mean by “the Og movie”, the 1988 one? 😁

"Is the AI concious, is it like a human, is it a machine god to be?" Insane questions from the culturally Christian. LLMs are Sumerian type demons that can be summoned, bound and charged with tasks. They exist in their own cateogory.

Just to check, is this set in England? Does a murder occur? Is there a DCI with complicated private life involved?

Also, EGP-6s at the recently shut down Bilibino were 12MW each, stationary, and designed for CHP and load following.

I vaguely remember there being a russian movie set in the Arctic that ends with the main character embracing a live RITEG because he's tired and doesn't give a f anymore, or something like that.

Amateurs! The Slovenian government scrapped subsidies for electric vehicles, reduced all taxes for fuel to a minimum, and will subsidise the increase of fuel prices (and buying of new tyres) for farmers and truckers

My heart sank a bit when I heard Ted Lasso say something like "I don't even know how to download apps in this country" in S04E04 cause I think it may mean the Cupertino suits now have a way of forcing their idiotic politics onto the writing team, which the latter can't say no to.

To be fair, I don't think Iceland is really a part of this conversation in the first place — you guys thankfully don't emit enough. It’s probably more about whether people in Shanghai or Seattle drive or cycle, and those don't live in similarly extreme conditions.

Around 52 minutes in, Todd briefly points at worker wages as the flipside of affordability. But in 2026, those pale in comparison to executive comp and shareholder payouts. So, affordability is probably more in opposition to unchecked shareholder capitalism than workers’ rights.

good reminder that like 90% of the American public's understanding of military affairs, including some ostensibly highly educated people, can best be summarized by swooping your hands around while making pewpew and woosh noises

I'm sure there are industrial customers out there who (in theory!) would love 50MW of high-grade heat on-site, in a couple of shipping containers, with little in OPEX. They're just not prepared for the actual regulatory ballache of it all, especially if the competition is so cheap.

The German environment minister earlier this year confidently claimed Germans would buy German and European cars anyway. Almost 50% of plug-in hybrid sales in Europe are now Chinese. Turns out growing Chinese car quality meeting a 20-30% undervalued exchange rate matters! Who could've known? 7/

Not all of those things can follow the same curve, and it periodically leads to frustrating bottlenecks. Still, beats belching radioactive ash or riding negative learning curves 🤷‍♂️

Good news: someone is actually reading our thought leadership documents, rather than just the executive summary. Bad news: it is mostly to check for AI slop.

A bit odd not to mention how line ratings during a heatwave affect throughput, and whether that contributes to the grid-balancing problem at all. www.ft.com/content/047f...

What’s up with CATL issuing a slightly confusing press release where they conflate containers with modules, and a bunch of publications reporting 30MWh 42-ton sodium CONTAINERS as a result? Makes other manufacturers look silly, which they’re anything but.

This feels like a case study of something bigger: it's almost always safe for policymakers to individualise issues. I suspect this hits transport too: nobody ever got fired for building a housing estate and simply running a road to it and assuming everyone will drive individual cars
