WATCH: The most amazing thing about this remarkable car commercial, is that it didn’t seem to realize, or didn’t care, how effectively it made the point that cars are a HUGE waste of space in cities. Award-winning 2002 ad for Saturn cars. HT javier

Coal ash needs a new name to properly reflect its status as low and intermediate grade Uranium ore.

I wonder if the german 'greens' would take notice.

Two-thirds of Germans want a new government, says Germany's largest newspaper Bild.

Surveys also show two-thirds of Germans want to keep using nuclear energy.

What an interesting coincidence.

£4, 120 coloured LEDs, solar panel, AA NiMH cell. bmstores.co.uk/products/evere…

The interesting part for me was the coloured LEDs, all have same IV characteristic.

I wasn't aware of these phosphor based coloured LEDs

Now the question. Are they more efficient than conventional LEDs?

Would those campaiging against ULEZ, LTNs, and 20mph streets care to explain why houses in cul-de-sacs command a premium over their higher traffic neighbours?

New York is firing up oil plants in response to this heat wave.

They only need to do this because Cuomo, RFK Jr, DiCaprio, and Ruffalo shut down Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant.

Anti-nuclearism is environmental injustice.

Offshore wind turbine costs running well ahead of inflation in the UK. 40% rise in past two years according to Vattenfall.

UK Projects are no longer getting cheaper as more are built.

Not easy to watch, but it's important to do so. The person who committed the assault was in the opposite & unaffected lane. They stopped traffic to get out of their car to punch & kick someone who was stopping traffic.

Negative prices mean that the grid is running renewables only, and hence near zero carbon intensity!

That is wrong, but do you know why?

(FWIW I am not 100% certain myself)

“I got radiation from the flight…from the banana I ate for breakfast and from being out in the sun for the photo shoot. However, I got no registrable dose from bumping up to the nuclear waste.

The extreme safety of nuclear waste management can't be faked.'

In Newsweek today:

'To generate the same amount of electricity, a coal power plant gives off at least ten times more radiation than a nuclear power plant.' europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document….

'It turned out that the older reactors are less or not at all affected by stress corrosion cracking' I bet that has far reaching implications for future and current NPP

Worth remembering..

France's decarb was an accidental consequence of tge Messmer plan to get off imported fossil fuels.

Germany's anti-nuclear and Energiewende have the side effect of increasing carbon emissions into the atmosphere during a time when concern over CC is growing.
