protest: if you worry about damage to British heritage you should listen to

"The orange cornflour has been washed away by the charity English Heritage, which reports no visible damage. But will continue to threaten Stonehenge, its wider landscape and the rare lichen living on the stones. We must channel our concern over potential damage to Stonehenge towards the real threats facing heritage sites."

Good summary by Electrive (in German) of yesterday's German Charging Infrastructure Conference.

In addition to the launch of the 'Deutschlandnetz' for cars, Germany is about to launch a tender for 4200 & CCS charging points (at >350 locations) to provide an essential charging network for trucks (and buses). Existing road toll data has been used to model traffic patterns and charging requirements.

The beginning of the end came when the USSR got into economic trouble it couldn't ignore or sweep under the rug.

The lesson?
With climate change also, it's still "the economy, stupid".

We need to talk about climate inflation: all the ways climate change makes life more expensive; the toll on the economy; the cost of climate disasters, etc.

The political right is always talking up nuclear power.
They don't love it. They love coal and gas.

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has unveiled plans for taxpayers to build seven power plants by 2050.

"THE CLIMATE COUNCIL has slammed the Coalition’s energy scheme as “a smokescreen for its commitment to coal and gas” and “radioactive greenwash”, which would delay Australia’s urgent and accelerating shift to clean energy and away from fossil fuels."

"Seven standard nuclear reactors would deliver approximately nine gigawatts of energy capacity. With AEMO’s latest plan indicating Australia will need at least 300 gigawatts by 2050.

In this piece, @takvera lays out a strong case against nuclear generation in Australia.

Here is one startling example:

"It is also illegal in every state and territory to build nuclear reactors, so any construction would have to wait for changes in legislation. There is no chance a nuclear power station could be built in Australia before 2040."

Illegal in every state and territory in Australia!
