New: They survived a Cybertruck crash. Then a fire killed them. Tesla has marketed its trucks as seemingly impenetrable — bulletproof, with shatter-resistant glass and able to contain blasts. What happens if those same features trap people inside? www.washingtonpost.com/technology/i...

In at least a dozen cases since 2019, people have struggled to access or exit Teslas during life-threatening emergencies, fueling lawsuits alleging the company’s futuristic features have caused injuri...

Hello American people, considering the state of your country I understand why you’d be fleeing to Europe. Just letting you know: the pendelbus tussen station Emmen en Ter Apel is no longer free — you’ll need to buy a kaartje. ✌️

I hope Trump lives.

I hope he lives long enough to see a blue wave in 2026, and another in '28. I hope he lives long enough to see all his damage reversed, and all his cronies indicted. I hope he lives long enough to see justice for his own crimes, against the public and the world.

I hope.

If the gas networks still can't contain methane after more than a century of practice, why should we trust them with hydrogen?

BREAKING: The EU chooses complexity over clarity. Clinging to combustion engines won't make European carmakers great again.

Today’s proposal from the European Commission will extend the sales of cars with engines & divert investment from EVs, while China races further ahead of Europe’s carmakers.

This is why you start a project by listening to users and the people who have been doing the work. If you’re too arrogant to listen, you will miss the point and solve the wrong problem. Thanks again Matt!

The hydrogen bubble has burst.

Nearly 60 major low-carbon H₂ projects have been cancelled or paused — far more capacity than the world has actually built. The reason? Fundamentals still don’t add up:

• Demand isn’t there
• Costs remain high
• Infrastructure is missing

It’s shameful that any British or European politician or organisation still use X. For pities sake close your accounts now.
After this weekend's racist attacks on the EU, I've written a column about the moral obligation to stop posting on X.

Oh no, wait, I wrote it *two years ago* when it was blatantly obvious what was going on and how it would get much much worse.
