If I understand his numbers, you’d need 67 new nuclear energy plants by 2030 just for AI data centres in the U.S. alone Conventional ideas about protecting the planet or environment are woefully weak and pathetic faced with this - and ‘offsetting’ is nonsensical at this scale

In Poland I met 2 Scottish politicians on their way back from a humanitarian mission to Ukraine, and went up in my estimation for doing that.

Long post, (trigger warning- injury detail) It was the disgraceful Whitehouse monstering of Volodomyr Zelensky by Donald Trump and JD Vance that persuaded me I had to do something more to support the people of Ukraine.

Relics in Ruthven Lane has a pile of architectural drawings from the 50s, all by the same U of Manchester student, T Markus. Fans of brutalism might be interested (@nebopeklo)?

Dear SIA, I really had wanted to go to your conf in #BuffaloNY, where my Great Grandfather had worked the @TownofTonawanda lumber yards for 7 years before finding that migrants were unwelcome. But it's now far too dangerous to enter USA. Chicago was my last time, 2019.

You don't get railway heritage bigger or more important than the Grade A listed Forth Rail Bridge so it was a great experience to go out to the Jubilee Tower of the bridge this afternoon with @NetworkRailSCOT and @balfourbeatty - awe-inspiring and slightly scary.
