Axel WickeHoren jullie het ook eens van iemand anders, van @mathijsbouman in het FD namelijk: Juist de groene gekkies hadden gelijk. “We hadden veel sneller moeten elektrificeren, met zon, wind, waterstof en batterijen, precies zoals zij zeiden. Dan was Nederland nu minder kwetsbaar geweest.”
Technology ConnectionsLet's do this.
You are being misled about renewable energy technology.
Let's learn and grow. New things are cool!Links 'n' stuff down below. Lots of links.First, the "clean version." Please pass that around.https://youtu.be/Zgxb...
Kees van der LeunBig news for the energy transition!
And a nice little 'told you so' moment for yours truly :)
In the first half of this year, renewables produced more electricity globally than coal, for the first time.
And 2025 is the date I predicted for this to happen, back in 2016, in a blog post for Ecofys! The score was 23%-40% at the time, with most of the renewables share still coming from hydro, and the prediction was less than obvious.

@That's Done: I CANCELLED AUDIBLE
I've been an #Audiobook listener for 20+ years, mostly because I'm in the car a lot and having kids kills your brain for reading at night. I had over 500 books in my #Audible library but it's time to go.
Doing business with #JeffBezos has just become too unpalatable. That and @pluralistic has taught me to reject DRM and he helped me find https://Libro.fm - I signed up for a membership and have already bought and pre-ordered 6 new books over there.

𝐿𝒶𝓃𝒶 "not yet begun to fight""Two sexes," they say. "Any others are unnatural"
MUSHROOMS: but we have 17,000 sexes. Whoops sorry just discovered another one. Make that 17,001.
"The female of the species," they proclaim, "is the one that carries the fetus to term. Males can't get pregnant. It's unnatural."
SEAHORSES: but our males do.
"It's so simple," they declare, a little nervously, "If you were born with a penis, you're a male. Boom."
SPOTTED HYENA: but our females have penises.
"If you were born with a vaginal canal, you're a girl," they scream. "If you weren't, you aren't. End of story."
TURTLES: but our males are. and they can even breathe through them.
"Biological sex can't be changed," they shriek, self-righteously."That's just science".
CLOWNFISH: but we do it all the time
"You can pretend to be a gender you weren't born as, they gasp, assuring themselves that surely this time they will emerge victorious, "animals can't just up and change their chromosomes. That's common sense."
BUTTERFLIES AND MOTHS: but we can. explosive chromosomal macroevolution is literally a part of our lifecycle.
"But chromosomes determine biologi-"
BEARDED DRAGONS: ours are determined by the weather
"But the Bible says male and female he made th-"
BLUEHEADED WRASSE: all of us are born female
"But you can't just wake up one day and deci-"
GROUPER (MALE): we literally do.
"But gender isn't flui-"
GROUPER (MALE): sometimes we change back
"But you can't just pick what gender you're going to be on any given day!" They shriek, "It doesn't work that way!!"
GROUPER (FEMALE): ahem

Felienne HermansAGI gebouwd op alleen taalmodellen? Dat kan niet, zo betoog ik vandaag in NRC. De geschreven taal waarop ze getraind zijn mist 'ehm' en 'huh' en 'ja....', de smeerolie van de taal, aldus @dingemansemark
En, er is zoveel meer dan taal! Niet voor niks kan je als mens zeggen: "Daar zijn geen woorden voor" en toch begrepen worden.

@nula.pubThe Absolute Best Transportation for Cities
I love trams. They're my absolute favourite form of transportation within cities. But the benefits of trams go beyond transportation, and I actually think that trams make urban places fundamentally better.
