Physics, climate change, system change. Knows quite a bit about material integrity, and wants to know more about the rest. Teaches natural science and math.

Corporate greed is extending global reliance on dirty energy. We need real investments in renewables + the political will to stand up to fossil fuel interests & protect public health.

‘It’s hell for us here’: Mumbai families suffer as datacentres keep the city hooked on coal
As Mumbai sees increased energy demand from new datacenters, particularly from Amazon, the filthiest neighbourhood in one of India’s largest cities must keep its major coal plants

Satte elever til å blande betong i forskjellige vann/sement forhold for små støp.
En gruppe brukte LLM og den gav dem de riktige blandingsforholdene, men invertert. Ble en ganske tynn suppe, og forhåpentligvis litt læring i å ikke stole på Cheatgpt.

By contrast, in the West, central banks were made "independent" as part of neoliberal reforms, specifically in order to *prevent* them from aligning investment with anything other than capital accumulation.

Because in China, industrial policy means investment can be directed toward what is most necessary; whereas in the West investment is directed toward what is most profitable to capital.

Alle er enige i at etterspørselen kommer til å falle.
De to alternativene vi da har er en styrt utfasing, hvor vi har forutsigbarhet og rammeverk, eller en naturlig utfasing, som er sårbar for endringer og ustabil.
Åpenbart valg.

Det jeg syns er rart er at det stadig påpekes ovenfor MDG at "dagens oljepolitikk har flertall i stortinget", mens ingen påpeker at klimaloven også ble vedtatt med bredt flertall i stortinget. Det er sjukt at MDG må kjempe som løver for å få de andre partiene med på å nå mål _de selv har lovfestet_.
Jeg synes jo det er rart at det er "vi burde ha en plan for å fase ut fossil energi" er ansett for et helt sinnsykt radikalt standpunkt i Norge, mens "vi burde lete etter mer olje og gass mens kloden koker" er den allment aksepterte sannheten. www.vg.no/nyheter/i/Pd...
MDG kan utsette utfasings-frist: – Forventer å få noe tilbake
MDG har sagt at de siste gassfeltene skal stenges ned om femten år. Nå er de villige til å la tre av feltene fortsette lenger - i en gassinvitasjon til regjeringen midt i budsjettforhandlingene.
