When I first heard of the plan to build a 3 gigawatt solar installation in Australia’s Northern Territory it sounded mad, but not bad. Now of course, the vile billionaires club have come up with a truly mad bad alternative.

Nice motor
I'm about to be on LBC radio, SIMON MARKS standing in for IAIN DALE.
Talking about the well orchestrated push back against any kind of government reduction target of dated, dirty and hopelessly inefficient combustion engines.

Just to update if anyone is the least bit interested. I'm now on at about 9:15, if I can stay awake.
We are in the middle of a global shift in energy generation. This is a fascinating discussion with Sonia Dunlop, the CEO of the Global Solar Council.
What is happening in Pakistan alone is mind boggling.
China passes its agricultural machinery electrification target
China near 43% terminal electrification across rural and agricultural sectors so far 2026
14th 5-Year Plan benchmark was 10% by 2025

I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I don't recall the white protestent masked blokes in the northern bit of Ireland rioting about the 10 men, 3 women & 2 children murdered in Northern Ireland over last 12 months. All the accused in these case are white. Could that be vaguely relevant?
If you build three gigawatts of solar in the desert, and then use all of that to power the melting of computer chips to run GenAI (instead of helping to push fossil fuels out of the system through an undersea cable to Asia), what's the benefit to climate, or biodiversity or environment?
