What is energy?

A simple question but a complex answer.

My colleague @chrisjardineenergy.bsky.social @ecioxford.bsky.social has just released his launch video of a new video channel on energy.

Evidence-based, educational and fun. Highly recommend you watch this.

Hypocrisy. Leave it to Leavitt.

Memo to Ed: nuclear is outdated, hugely costly & far too slow. Hinkley Pt C is already years late & tens of billions over budget. Nuclear isn’t zero carbon, it won’t be “always on”, we still haven’t found a safe way to dispose of waste & it poses huge security risks @sayno2sizewellc.bsky.social

A reminder that if the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

Starmer denigrates Covid heroes

"These are just 33 of the doctors who died trying to save patients during Covid, Keir Starmer.
All but two were migrants, or the children of them.
They didn’t take time off work & stay out of danger.
They gave their lives for us.
WERE THEY STRANGERS?"
via Louise Raw

I’m one of those dodgy immigrants who came here on a spouse visa and got indefinite leave to remain after 12 months.

The incalculable harm I have done to the UK includes dedicating my life to public service, educating thousands of British young people, and paying more tax than I’ll ever get back.

Denmark’s electric vehicle surge is just incredible. 🚗⚡️

Feb 2025: BEV 66.1%, PHEV 2.8%, ICE 31.1%

Trailing 12M: 54.4% BEV

➡️ Only Norway ahead now, Sweden 3rd.

⛔️ ICE extinction event incoming?

The internal combustion engine is pretty much over in Scandinavia.

"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?" "Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

Senate Republicans voted to kill an EPA rule limiting the seven most hazardous air pollutants emitted by chemical plants and other industrial facilities.

Inhaling even small amounts of these pollutants can cause brain damage and cancer.

How is this Making America Healthy Again?

Blair says net zero is "doomed to fail" – but to abandon a rapid green transition away from fossil fuels is to sentence millions to certain death . And he knows it .

Seriously? Heat pumps are a mature technology that has been around for more than 100 years.

All authoritative analyses indicate that we need to deploy millions of them to reach net zero.

Public controversy stems from poor reporting - Evan tried to change that.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.

That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.

So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Did you know that 2/3 of all energy we use ends up as waste heat because of how inefficient our energy system is?

Yet we pay for 100% of the energy inputs.

Here’s the US as an example.
