Far be it for me to suggest that the power companies might shaft you more than they already are, but it might not be a bad idea to take a gas/electric meter reading today.

If there's anything we've learned about #megaprojects esp #nuclear ones, they tend to come in vastly over-budget. Sunak knows this. £13bn for 8 reactors will balloon in no time.

Machine Learning is only just starting to make an impact in #Chemistry but there are some major developments incoming.

I'm curious about the ways ML solutions might contribute to mitigating the #ClimateCrisis. Materials? Control Systems? Suggestions?
