It really is remarkable that in my working lifetime we have gone from "sure, we have the moral imperative to stop burning the super convenient millions of years' worth of stored energy" to "yeah it sucks to burn stuff that arrives in a tanker, it is cheaper to use the sun and a big battery".

Honestly think that's why a lot of renewable energy news has moved from the climate page to the business / industry pages. And that has to be good.

Finally getting round to reading Blue Machine by @helenczerski. At times it feels like a companion piece to The Steerswoman series by @rkirstein.
