Saying I think other political parties are rubbish so I’m going to vote Reform is like saying I don’t like this burger so I’m going to eat this toxic waste tip instead.

Nuts.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

How South Korea plans to use the Iran crisis to spur a renewables revolution Energy crisis unfolding in Middle East has added political urgency, and more funding, to transform the solar industry in particular

This village uses its solar income on free communal lunches, buses and other communal efforts.“If you divide money as individual income, people feel disconnected. People who didn’t know each other for years now get to know each other within days”

I love everything about this.

Any government that isn't right now accelerating plans to transition to 100% clean, renewable energy is either:

a. Incompetent
b. In the pockets of people who'd rather they didn't
c. a & b

I got a £10,000 maintenance loan for my degree. Now they want it back Students and graduates have described their shock at being told they were not eligible for the loans they received.

WTAF. Gov asking nurses and teachers to pay back loans. Gov should be paying them off. Does a country need nurses and students?

What kind of shitty social contract are we offering our citizens?

The wrong question is dominating the energy crisis debate.

Every interview starts the same: where do we find replacement fossil fuels and what happens to prices?

In this BBC interview I push back.

This is the moment to talk about escaping fossil fuel dependence - not the daily market noise.

Some thoughts about the physics curriculum and its assessment in Scotland with some observations and questions about standards and how this impacts on things like subject choice. Can we address some of these longstanding issues in the Curriculum Improvement Cycle?

Why the AI industry can’t resist dirty on-site gas turbines Expect others to follow in Elon Musk’s footsteps — there’s a logic to on-site gas power that the industry is unlikely to reject

"Elon Musk's xAI has placed orders for a total of seven much larger gas turbines, each capable of producing 380 MW of power … Together, this is enough power to supply a city roughly the size of Philadelphia."
