My head on a cardboard cut out as a McLaren Formula 1 driver alongside Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. Behind are our adoring fans at an event in London’s Trafalgar Square.

If you think I’ve been off the scene for a while, it’s because I’m a Grand Prix driver now. k thx bai!

A friend is a first officer with BA and landed a plane at Heathrow during one of those big storms where 1000s of people watch the landings streamed live. “It was a bit blowy,” he said with one of those nodding frowns for emphasis.

I keep hearing about communication folks in the nuclear industry under pressure to deliver higher ‘performance’ while management steadfastly resist and undermine everything they are trying to do.

How’s this for a charity shop find?

I’ve come to the conclusion that Home is Home and Work is Work and they should not be mixed any longer.

I think this indicates I’m probably ready to have a job again.

Dreamt I was on stage and someone asked a pointed question about the ‘controversial UAE nuclear power programme’. I said, “It’s one of the world’s biggest climate actions but because it’s nuclear you won’t hear a single word about it from Greens. It’s actually the opposite of controversial.” So ner!

I’ve been in Cape Town this week and I’ve heard A LOT about this on the car radio 😂

JIMNY goddammit

A small but perfectly formed 4x4 is parked with lush land and soaring mountains behind, all in blazing sunshine.

Tell you what mate, serious FOMO from missing the IAEA International Conf on Stakeholder Engagement for Nuclear Power Programmes.

Instead am in South Africa as a +1 on my wife’s work conference so can’t complain. Also, driving this lil Jimmy has been brilliant.

Bluesky user base going down? It’s all relative. Energy Twitter continues its exodus, sending me another burst of new followers.

Long overdue & important. Germany closing its remaining nuclear power stations in the teeth of the energy and climate crises was bad enough. But worse was its messianic attempts to restrict the use of nuclear power in other EU member states.
Lecturing France, w/ its lo-CO2 🔌, was especially galling.

It’ll take more than just a government position to bring Germany’s vast anti-nuclear blob to a halt, but it’s a key step.

Maybe like nicotine patches. Keep me constantly dosed. ✨💊✨

This is why they should put ibuprofen in tap water.

What is a ‘woke investment’?

You gotta stop reporting every damn thing he says. If it’s baseless, ignore it.

I hope I live long enough to see British rainforest re-established.

Utterly insane. I love it.

Nuclear energy is clean energy

I'm old enough to remember clickbait articles saying Millennials were cringe for being too young. The more things change the more they stay the same.

Pregnant Women and Babies Acquiring HIV PEPFAR is currently providing ARV treatment to Snat ow heath and o pren annislonte tha children. With stop work orders, these services will be halted...

...for a large number of these women. Importantly, the stoppage will affect an interwoven group of health care providers rather than a single group of workers. This means that, even if many of the antenatal clinic providers are employed by the Ministry of Health (as is often the case), the commodities in use, the pharmacists, laboratory technicians, and others involved in the care of pregnant women are integrated, with each being essential to quality care. Based on an expected HIV transmission rate of 40% when a woman is not on treatment and assuming that 50% of pregnant women on ART would deliver during a 90-day stoppage, we estimate that this would mean 135,987 babies acquiring HIV. These babies, however, are highly likely to also go undiagnosed because infant HIV testing services are also being suspended due to the stop work order.

I'll never forget that Elon Musk stopped the USAID programme supplying medicine that blocked mother-to-child transmission of HIV.

Up to 135,000 babies were born with HIV because of him. But we'll never know exactly because he also stopped the work that would have diagnosed them.

eBay is tempting me again...

Family down the road from me are living the dream with a wooden barge of a cargo bike, a smart BMW wagon and a cheeky Caterham 7 hidden in the garage.

David Attenborough might be Peak Human. A thoughtful man of talent and good character who was in the right place at the right time with the right connections to arrive at advent of TV and international travel and come to own a domain as vast as the natural world. A once in a millennium alignment.

I think I can see where all the electricity is going
