Apparently it’s normal now for police to live-tweet their gathering of evidence.

It’s thanks to this standard of reporting that I have had a fruitful career in nuclear communication.

Richard E Grant is Britain’s Nicolas Cage.

An anti-Net Zero song set to the tune of Dad's Army. That's what I just saw on LinkedIn.

Send help. My brother in law has never heard of The Beastie Boys.

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!

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?

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!

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.

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

Utterly insane. I love it.

SCOOP: NPR has learned that the Trump Administration has tightened its control over the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. NRC rules on reactor safety are now subject to White House review before they can be finalized. www.npr.org/2025/05/09/n...

Nuclear energy is clean energy

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 never really understood the assumed objections. Sure, big solar farms can be kind of ugly from some angles, but guess what? So can farms! If a farm can upgrade to produce a high-tech product like electricity (a) who can blame them, and (b) that would seem to be a good thing for the local economy.

Just got my Bluesky MUNDUS SINE CEASARIBUS t shirt, same as the one worn by the CEO of Bluesky. Quite pleased with it. The latin means 'a world without kings' or, if you prefer, 'get fucked, oligarchs'.

I just really wonder how long the 99 remaining guys would last after seeing the first one get his head ripped off.

In Britain, public enemy number one right now is the guy who cut down a very special tree.

The 100 men have to kill the gorilla, but the gorilla only needs to injure the 100 men.

We were all so innocent then

This space trip. All they had to do was a nice collab on Instagram and a 15 minute Youtube vid. It would have been nice. We’re only mad because they over-egged the pudding.

“Ships using zero or near-zero greenhouse gas technologies will be eligible for financial rewards.” An incentive that could further accelerate the advent of nuclear energy as an option where few others exist.

Spending time in Florence, where I've been surrounded by priceless public works some 500 years old, makes me cry that today's billionaire class is so selfish. They rinse wealth from the entire world but give nothing back and build nothing for the future. Worse, some actively destroy public property.

Maybe it’s time for the NRC to regulate upwards.

If I was in charge I would be investing as much as possible in UK media production and culture. Fuck yeah to a small levy on video (and music) streaming. Culture is a lasting way to stick our divided country back together. #bbcr4today

Eek… Hopes for nuclear powered shipping are kind of resting on the need to decarbonise.

Psyched to see Galileo’s telescope today at Museo Galileo in Florence - the one he made himself and then used to discover Jupiter’s moons. Might be slightly obsessed with the guy as well after reading his punchy prose in the surprising readable Sidereus Nuncius, where he announced his finds.

How come this one guy is now singlehandedly providing 80% of Internet content?

Did you know that all the generators on the power grid are spinning in sync with each other? The grid has a heartbeat and each and every machine connected to it must follow the rhythm. This includes the machines in your home! Your buzzing fridge compressor is beating in time with the same heart.

This chart proves that Amazon is the future and we should phase out Walmart, which nobody ever wanted anyway. Am I doing this right, #EnergySky?

Post a warning

This is the most prominent review you see when you download Facebook on the Apple store.

Seems like they didn’t do this after all, or tried it and realised LLMs have no idea what job functions are actually important especially from 5 bullet points all written differently using different innie jargon.

How low must be your IQ to say 'Hitler didn't kill millions, it was his civil servants' without even realising that OUR civil servants then defeated them?

What if I said, ‘phone calls’?

Yeah the new french high speed rail cars are a total vibe.

So if emails are no longer received, read and replied to, what else do we do? Serious Q.

Those scamps Wind and Solar have been making charts again...

With its tiny space and resource footprint, nuclear energy gets forgotten too easily. Putting out as much nuclear merch as possible is one part of the solution to that.

Something I love about America as a European. When we were broke after WWI the US was surging ahead. It has a whole category of /antique skyscrapers/ that don’t exist anywhere else in the world.
