On YIMBY Pod this week:
We talk about the seismic shift in British energy policy announced during the budget – and wonder if the shift in priorities from ‘clean’ to ‘cheap’ means the grid decarbonisation pledge is dead.
Then we speak to returning champion Thomas Ableman, who has been thinking about AI and what we can learn from the tech revolutions that gave us the railways and cars. Plus he updates on the exciting progress he’s making on his Mini Switzerland plan.
Thomas’s piece on lessons on AI from a 200-year-old industry is here.
James’s exhaustive long-read on how energy bills are calculated and the political choices around Net Zero is here.
James’s Substack is here, and this week he wrote more about how he’s personally using AI.
Martin’s Substack is here, and this week he wrote about the government’s attitude to disaster preparedness. His latest video on the Rainham Volcano is here.
