new from me for @worksinprogmag: how France achieved the world’s fastest nuclear buildout I tell the story of how France defied the global backlash against nuclear power by aligning local incentives, embracing standardisation and abandoning a failed domestic design. 🧵

This is evil. Even the most incompetent military on the planet would instantly realize this little girl isn't a combatant. So why was she murdered? Who murdered her? We will never know because this happens day after day after day and the IDF doesn't care about accountability.

The latest update in the clash between Beijing against the British planning system. A contest between a state-dominated morass of officialdom and bureaucracy that throttles human freedom at every turn, and on the other side it's the Chinese government.

BBC’s Jeremy Bowen: Israelis don’t want us to film outside the window at the devastation in Gaza…communities in the north of Gaza are flat, there’s nothing left…Israel will not allow reporters, like myself, to enter Gaza to report the story and they don’t want us to see it

Affordable housing requirements are like a gateway drug for left-NIMBYISM. You think you're just having a quick puff on the "we need more units at X% below market rate" pipe, but soon after you're injecting "supply can't solve the housing crisis" directly into your eyeballs.

Usually when I see someone saying something awful is capitalism they are describing something that 1) is genuinely awful 2) is a consequence of material scarcity and 3) has gotten much much less bad under capitalism

Labour Yimby are disappointed by the Government’s decision to concede to the Nimby lobby on the planning reforms this country so desperately needs. For the first time the Labour Government is backing the blockers, not the builders. 1/

Until 1970, the UK was the world's top producer of nuclear energy. Until 1978 we were the second-biggest producer. Today we have fallen behind Sweden, India, and even Spain. New plants are going to be both slow, and the most expensive the world has ever seen.
