Come on Craig. They're specifically addressing FPTP.
And don't @ me about the Nazis gaining power under PR after winning only 33% of the vote in Germany's last free election before the war.

but apparently the restaurant had difficulty with the concept. We arrived on time but were told it would be a 30 minute wait. We left, confident we could find another option. We finally did find one: the *fifth* restaurant we tried was able to seat us; everything else was 'you can sit at the bar'.

This "downtown is dead" thing drives me crazy. Sure, there are issues, but I was just telling someone about our dinner reservation adventure on a cold cold day in March this year. We had reservations at a restaurant

The economic sense is so extremely in favour of renewables now, Pakistan is even paying Qatar penalties to rather NOT deliver the fossil gas that Pakistan already placed orders for, because their Solar PV and batteries make much more sense.
It saves them money to cancel their gas imports and pay!

So Pakistan is *paying* Qatar to *not* deliver LNG because even including this penalty payment their solar PV and battery spending is much better value for money and saves them billions.
How fascinating!

Just heard from someone today who thought she had to give up cycling because of some health challenges. She and her husband bought e-bike, however, which they ride “everywhere”, which really means everywhere they feel safe, which really means protected lanes and cycle paths.

"As long as the costs [of fossil fuels] remain socialized while the benefits are privatized, the market alone will not lead to the optimal level of deployment of clean energy technologies."

What about "technology will solve it"? "Technology" has made renewables cheaper but it has also done the same for fossil fuels. And
"[h]oping that clean energy will be absolutely cheaper than fossil fuels at a scale needed to decarbonize our energy system is a gamble – and one with loaded dice ..."
