And also, it forces these countries down the route of very large centralised generation, and transmission, infrastructure - which may not be the best thing for such a large continent as Africa with many countries at differing levels of development.

This is huge.

Amusingly, Tesla is lowering the price of the Model 3 in China but raising it in other markets.

I know we go around in circles on the whole nuclear argument, but it does seem to me like the UK going to have some very tight supply issues in the next few years if significantly more new generation and storage capacity isn't built? Even with all the ...

And meanwhile it looks like financing for Sizewell C, based on a Hinkley C EPR copy and paste, will be sorted out in the Autumn. https://www.ft.com/content/3f2bfc76-5b74-437c-8b18-67f9cde991af I wonder if that will bring back plans for a new nuclear build at Wylfa?

Why not fit a dozen 100kW chargers? They’d get customers for their £3 cups of warm milk and £1.50 chocolate muffins as...

Two interesting developments in the world of nuclear power generation. One from China is that they have almost finished construction of a prototype thorium molten salt reactor designed for commercial electricity generation. Ok it's "only" 2MW but it's a whole different avenue of nuclear sc...
