Iran war spikes energy prices – UK homes ditch fossil fuels fast

The Iran war is driving up fossil fuel prices, rapidly pushing UK households to solar, heat pumps, and EV chargers to cut costs.

I had a great chat with Meredith Glaser, from the Urban Cycling Institute & Ghent University, to talk about "study tours" and how she gets international policymakers on-board to build better cycling infrastructure in their cities.

This was one of my better podcast conversations, so definitely check it out!

Liebs wie gerade in eigentlich allen Ländern des Westens alle Regierungen am Herumkrebsen sind, weil GOTTVERDAMMT NIEMAND DEN MUT HAT die Reichen und Superreichen anzutasten sondern bei allen Steuerprogrammen und Reformen immer so getan wird als würden die nicht existieren und man müsste alles ohne deren Geld hinkriegen.

Hört auf euch und uns selbst zu betrügen.

"While some people benefit from automobility, nearly everyone—whether or not they drive—is harmed by it. Slowing automobility’s violence and pollution will be impracticable without the replacement of policies that encourage Car Harm with policies that reduce it.”

This is a quote from a 2024 paper entitled, "Car harm: A global review of automobility’s harm to people and the environment", and I finally made a video about it (now on Nebula & Patreon):

Not Just Bikes — Every Reason to Hate Cars

"While some people benefit from automobility, nearly everyone—whether or not they drive—is harmed by it." This video is a summary of all the ways that cars harm cities, the environment, and people’s lives.
