When I looked this up, it turned out it was *not* because people were comparing some public figure to Goebbels. But simply because a critical mass of Nazis on this platform are currently approvingly quoting the views of Goebbels on a diverse range of topics.

Your periodic reminder that England, a windswept nation with more potential for onshore wind power than almost anywhere else in the world (other than Scotland), banned new onshore wind farms in 2017.

It may be challenging for the US to assail China’s lead in some clean technologies, writes @davidfickling. But the field is wide open for those yet to get established trib.al/yQJk4ED

China's heavy industries like steel and aluminum are a huge emissions problem. Yet, they also provide key inputs into China's clean tech sector, like EVs, solar, and wind. Can China create a virtuous cycle of decarbonization? My latest piece: high-capacity.com/p/how-chinas-c…

Tensions in Middle East, drone attacks on Russian oil infrastructure, high economic growth in US and increasing oil demand, still the oil market is rather benign with hovering at around $85-90. As @FT reports, the big difference this time is US shale or as legendary shale pioneer…

My Trade Secrets today. The Biden admin has sent out heavy-hitter John Podesta to reset its flailing policy on climate and trade. He's making the right noises, but the US can't lead a global green trade coalition until it brings in a domestic carbon tax. on.ft.com/3vZgB01
@davidfickling @adelaigue The worst is when you need a car because the next shop is 5 miles away
@davidfickling @adelaigue Yes, this is why I hate suburbia: no (or not enough) services nearby. Typical commuter town, although that one looks nice from the look of your last picture.
@davidfickling Big lack of trees / vegetation. Houses too close together. Both are easy regs for a council to put in place that haven't been done here. Houses would be maybe 5% smaller but the suburb a whole lot more liveable
@davidfickling @adelaigue That's better, so is the pond. I must say I am biased, I hate suburbia and if my memory serves right this is quite far from the CBD...
@davidfickling OK, but still 20min walk gets you 2km, so that's ~12km2 so ~50k people.
