derloos @derloos.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I 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. 121

derloos @derloos.bsky.social · 30/08/2026My 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. 000
derloos @derloos.bsky.social · 30/08/2026To 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. 120
derloos @derloos.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Around 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. 020

derloos @derloos.bsky.social · 14/08/2026I'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. 140
Reposted by derloosSander Tordoir @sandertordoir.bsky.social · 11/08/2026The 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/ 3466

derloos @derloos.bsky.social · 19/07/2026A 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...ft.comBritain’s system for avoiding electricity blackouts faces scrutinyNational Energy System Operator’s task made more difficult by climate change and increasing use of renewables 000

derloos @derloos.bsky.social · 05/07/2026What’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?

Reposted by derloosProf. Ian Walker @ianwalker.bsky.social · 25/06/2026This 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 310728
