And as a rough comparison:
Hinkley Point C:
- estimate now up to £35bn+
- 6 million homes
- proposed 2008, ready approx 2030
Dogger Bank Wind Farm:
- sub £10bn
- 6 million homes
- proposed 2008, already producing power

So it's now news Hinkley Point C will be really expensive?
FFS, I & others were trying to tell people this over a decade ago, before contracts were signed
But the nuclear-political establishment thought they knew better
They didn't. Not for the first time

The thing about Trump saying it’s fine for Mamdani to call him a fascist is that he genuinely thinks all of this is kayfabe, just as he could insult Rubio or Cruz but still work with them. It’s not possible for him to imagine other people being sincere about anything.

Because the Liberal Currents writers have actual values, they are, almost uniquely among media, able to react our fascist moment not by asking “What if all our beliefs are wrong? What if we went too far with all the democracy and fairness stuff?” but by asking “How do we beat the fascists again?”

Israel just hit the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon, Ain al Hilweh, with missiles.
It’s a dense camp with the presence of many Palestinian factions but also many civilians.

Computers were a skill. They were taught in classrooms as a skill. Skills give you power over your tools because you work them as an expert and that is leverage to multiply externally.
