@pa27 @ChrisMayLA6 Worth bearing in mind that the CfD system has been crucial to the roll out of so much wind capacity and the drop in grid carbon intensity from 800 g to around 180 g/kWh. But it’s time to rethink the pricing strategy,

I’ll be talking about the very serious helium shortage that is looming (actually, it’s already upon us) and risks crippling semiconductor chip production and diagnostic instruments like MRI scanners, not to mention low temperature science.. It’s maddening because we’ve known that helium is very limited but it’s cheap so no one recovers it. It’ll be on BBC World Service Newshour around 13:45 BST.

UK people: KLAXON - today is the last chance to submit your views to the government's BBC Charter Review! There's a lot to think about and not much time.
Please set aside some of your rage about "BBC bias". The BBC is imperfect but supporting it is crucial to resist the slide towards news media entirely controlled by rich fascistoid techbros, and the injection of AI slot into everyone's feeds.
Democracy needs non-commerical organizations like the #BBC.

Interesting view from Peter Atkins at the RSC Historial Group - don't tell students that there's a lot of hard maths in chemistry. He argues that there's not a lot of real mathematics. There are a lot of physical ideas that are underpinned quantitatively. Tell students instead to focus on the ideas, and that the maths is easy and will follow.
Lovely account of the growth of PChem in the last 50 years, in part illustrated by acronyms used in his textbooks. Fascinating.

Scathing/sobering assessment of CCS and hydrogen tech in the context of climate change from Julian Allwood. Not a comfortable read. He must have had a hard time with referees because he comments:
Given the vast investment of academic effort …it is hardly surprising that the message of this paper is challenging, and this was made evident in the extensive process of manuscript review… the conclusions of the paper, reflected in the
title, should be seen not as heresy." https://www.nature.com/articles/s44286-025-00344-1

I dream of the day when Drax is shut down at last. The madness of shipping wood from 1/3 of the way round the globe to burn it with an efficiency of about 30%. The number of cooling towers (12) tells you just how much energy is wasted. It is an astonishing monument to the Second Law.
