I reviewed MORE AND MORE AND MORE which argues that thereās no historical precedent for an āenergy transitionā; instead, we see symbiotic linkages between wood, coal, oil, and now renewables. Iām convinced. But the bookās analysis of capitalism falls short

If you think gas power is cheap, meet Keadby 2, the last CCGT gas plant built in Great Britain It opened in 2023, after 5yrs of development, at a cost of £350m Owner SSE says it would now cost 3.5x to build the same plant (~£1.2bn) 1/6

"you shouldn't prepare for a hypothetical" I think that's it, that's the final straw for my fragile brain, I knew it wouldn't be something big, instead it would be something extremely stupid, ah well, it's freeing in a way.

If this sounds like āthe lesser races are a cancer that is eating away at the Reich, hereās how men of will will eradicate this diseaseā then thatās because thatās what it is. Chuck in a bit of encirclement, decadent art, historical grievance and Bolshevik intellectual menace, and itās 1934.

When we said NATO wasn't working we were derided. When we said a nuclear weapons system relying on the US is dangerous we were called stupid. The truth is the establishment are more interested in kissing US feet than keeping the UK safe. It's time for a rethink.

Hypothetically speaking, if I was a government agent who shot an unarmed civilian in the face while filming myself with my own phone in an action even police lawyers call open-and-shut murder, I would return to base and ask my buddies to beat me with blunt objects to fabricate exonerative injuries.

Today's announcement is the opposite of what it says it is. It's the formal cancellation of the high speed line across the Pennines. What's left - additional TRU scope - is a good idea but should be delivered as a business as usual enhancement in 2027, not some far off fanfaron.
