If I have hot takes on the MOU itself, I guess they are: -This maybe solidifies the industrial price, but was the cost too high? -The pipeline question still looms and I don't know how it resolves itself -This is a big reminder of how hard it is to hold things together

Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built. Remember when people thought he wasn't good at politics?

My new favourite tie. Note the gothic script The Globe ditched in 1990, and the orange stripe, which was once an ill-advised colour in our branding -- long before we had any colour at all in the paper. One authority says it could be from the early 1970s. As I am myself.

Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments: One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.
