Strange how any negative framing of auto culture is automatically anti-car & radical yet the billions of dollars spent on reckless car ads and auto first infrastructure isn't framed as anti-pedestrian, anti-bike, anti-transit, anti-person, anti-senior, anti-child or anti-planet.

“Brexit has shattered confidence in Britain’s economy” And yet the politicians who championed Brexit still strut around like they’re owed power, rather than a heavy dose of proper scrutiny and public disgust for the damage they’ve collectively done.

Deeply unimpressed by Green Party members campaigning against solar. Happily I think this is rare and but still dismayed to see it!

Lovely to arrive at Cheltenham lido this morning (on foot) and discover that they’ve covered their car park in solar panels since I was last here. This should be standard for car parks everywhere. Same goes for any large roof.

Apparently the Romans managed the water from their aquaducts by prioritising public drinking fountains, then public baths, and rich people's houses last. Reading about the vast energy demands of future AI, I think we need that for energy. Poorest ppl first, luxury AI video cat memes last.

As I predicted yesterday, Russians will now start checking on trucks. This will further strain all kind of supplies, military and civilian alike. This is near Irkutsk.

In January, the BBC wrote an article fear mongering about pylons "springing up" across the country It contained some wildly misleading figures which spread to other newspapers. I'm glad to say they've FINALLY been corrected. Here's what happened...🧵 bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In normal times, the drop in UK exports since the pandemic and Brexit — and how they’ve been holding back GDP growth — would have been a major economic story.

Today Zurich 🇨🇭 celebrates the opening of the city tunnel - entirely dedicated to cyclists. Once planned as a motorway through the city centre, the plans have changed for the better, giving way to active mobility (and lots more bike parking at the main station).

NEW from me: China's CO2 emissions fell ~1.6% in the first quarter and have now been flat or down for more than a year. This is the first time on record that emissions are falling due to clean energy growth, not slow power demand.

Very cool of BBC to publish a ChatGPT version of an article that I wrote one year ago —which took me 9 months to report— and give me no credit for. So, please read the original! It’s a story that I was the first journalist to report: pulitzercenter.org/stories/pull... @pulitzercenter.bsky.social

Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses. www.wired.com/story/why-ca...

The Observer was sold out of the Guardian Media Group (owned by the Scott Trust) a few weeks ago. It's now owned - like most UK media - by a billionaire-backed consortium. And hey presto - a puff piece for the Kinder, Küche, Kirche women of Reform!

The promise of grid-scale energy storage is that you can hold onto electricity for a bit and save it for later—rather than having to use it or lose it.
