YouTube video by Zion Lights The key figure behind fibre optic technology #physics #womeninscience #hiddenfigures #science #tech

I have a “women in science” video series and I get constant complaints about covering women, but their accomplishments were real and deserve to be celebrated. We wouldn’t even have the internet without these remarkable pioneers! youtube.com/shorts/QrEl8...

YouTube video by Zion Lights The world just lost a legend: mother of GPS, Gladys West

Bizarre. Did you reply to tell them not to use GPS texhnology? After all, we have Gladys to thank for it. youtube.com/shorts/lE3rB...

Yes, I’ve read several in that series. Most sci fi is dystopian.

Ever since I was a kid I’ve wanted to live in a Star Trek universe.

A future where humanity outgrows scarcity, fear, and the need to dominate one another.

I still dream that, overall, we are stepping closer to this world. As Picard said, “We must strive to be more than we are.” 🖖

If you enjoy books about reasoning & solutions, in Energy is Life I examine why the environmental movement turned against clean energy, why so many policymakers listened, and where we go from here.

If you care about the environment and say “follow the science” but aren’t sure about nuclear energy, consider reading Energy is Life. This is what a leading climate scientist has to say about it.

Germany once claimed the Energiewende as a model for others to follow. Instead, it offers a warning to the rest of Europe.

Science, reason, and abundant energy are not just useful tools, but the foundations of civilisation & human flourishing.

Understanding this transforms how we think, act, and build a better future.

The moral case for energy abundance Why clean power is about people, not sacrifice

Societal progress happened because energy made everything else possible. In essence, this is an Enlightenment argument: that reason, science, and human wellbeing should guide our choices, including how we produce the energy that modern life depends on.

One of the best feelings as a writer is seeing your work in print for the first time. This book was a labour of love; I poured many hours of research and reflection into it, and I can’t wait for it to land in bookstores around the world tomorrow. If you read it, let me know what you think! 📚 ⚛️ 🌱

Not bad, could be better

There’s a whole chapter on waste in my book. You may be pleased to discover that there are in fact solutions!

I’m deeply grateful to Michael for endorsing my new book, Energy is Life. His books and Skeptic magazine have long been bastions of reason amid a rising tide of misinformation, and I’m honored to add my voice to that tradition.

Available everywhere on Tuesday.
