Any suggestions on what else should be included in my neo-classic patch sleeve fellow energy nerds?
My @jamesglave.bsky.social inspired clean energy tattoo sleeve is coming along nicely.
I started with a wind turbine blade through the heart, and just added a Francis Turbine runner, next up solar, storage and the ever so classic "maitres chez nous" fist with lightening.

I love the Westminster Parliamentary system because of its absurd and arbitrary ties to tradition - it is a check on autocracy. Also, the system depends on a man in a tail coat and funny hat, whose job title is "Usher of the Black Rod", which is hilarious.

So climate and energy nerds, are we all agreed that electrifying everything that can be electrified and decarbonizing electricity is one of the best ways to tackle climate change?
If yes, then check out the next post and the post after that. If no, answer why not.
