Sunk costs in fossil fuel infrastructure could sink us
The greatest cost of new fossil fuel projects may be the missed opportunity to build clean energy
In my column today, I examine new fossil fuel infrastructure - justified for energy security - in light of the lack of a clear, legally grounded plan for how fossil fuels will be phased out, and how state bodies will be held accountable for that trajectory.

...and the line I may quote forever more to anyone who says climate reporting is too doomy:
"The problem is that the problem is so big that to even describe it factually sounds like scaremongering"

I think the motorist in that case is either selfish or ignorant. The straight on light will turn green eventually (after about 15-30 seconds I guess) in that case and everyone can then proceed. There's a similar situation at the junction of Lavitt's Quay and Christy Ring Bridge

I would go into primary position in the left lane all the way to the next junction. There's a whole other lane if someone wants to overtake. The Nissan probably assumed you were staying in the right lane in the clip. Not sure why you were beeped at previously
