It's comforting to know that those sleeping in corners of foreign fields are also protected by British stone - here possibly upper Carbiniferous millstone grit from Darley Dale.

My uncle is sleeping in Foiano Della Chiana in Tuscany under Portland stone I believe.

This isn't the model I've seen, which are undersea propellers in fjords etc. which naturally focus/enhance normal tidal flows.

Sorry! Costs always v high for new tech. But if there's a v large prize, as here, a way will be found - unless something even better comes along.

Cold fusion seems to be taking time 😁

Tidal. Regular. Predictable. Vast energy. Twice a day.

In time, this will provide base load imo.

Usual cost efficiencies etc

I thought iron/air batteries were perfect for this space?

In military terms, there are shaping the battlefield things you * could * do first that * might * provide better political stability to enable a careful revisit of this -

- compulsory voting
- NZ type PR

A Royal Commission to examine both these could be put in a 2029 manifesto.

There you go - we are the same

Hummingbird hawk moth i think - keep an eye out on any Valerian which they love

This won't stop bc it's a crazy policy.

The Farsi one also has language re nuc processing - classic ambiguity - some are experts at this, some less so...

Perhaps we will see the executed doc in time - but quite possibly there isn't one - rather a Farsi one and an English one - which are different.

UK overflight?

Again?

Morning @lewisgoodall.com

Interesting rpt on CPAC - thank you - if you haven't already, worth reading just-out Furious Minds on the long MAGA backstory.

"When the data changes, I change my mind - what do you do?"

38% warmer than 20C - any data on % splits above that?

Perhaps a different way of discussing this is to look at costs - please can you share the cost LD estimate of the cut in fuel duty?

This is the top/first bullet in your release.

Seen this Mark? 38% of UK households apparently living at 25C or above - surely madness to subsidise this behaviour.

Bursting the bubble requires leadership not pandering.

Paging @number10cat.bsky.social

Mmmmm...how many times have we been here before?

"Cut fuel duty by 10p, bringing down prices at the pump by 12p per litre."

He'll call for emergency cuts to sea level when it's lapping at our doors.

A populist response rather than the proper response.

If you can't beat them etc.

Oh Joi

This is probably an example of why they can't be nominated.

Evergreen books

The 2 stellata by the Albert Memorial are stunning.

Very likely a trap imo.

We need Weekend World with Brian Walden back - a solid hour with an expert

Why? Bc an 'ally'?

Isn't this the repeated refrain for every people/country in every buildup to a major war as they are forced to make very high cost choices they never expected to make, so had not planned for in any way - personally or otherwise?

For this to work, UK govt would need to specify in licenses that it retains the right to commandeer selected light+sweet etc n sea oil field crude streams for selected UK refineries?

How would this effect investment in such licenses by oilcos?

I'm v unsure any benefit, however marginal.

I remember it well :)
