  • Commented on Place your bets
    This approach becomes more useful at solar system wide distances. It has been around as an idea for some time and was even a plot point in the Venor Vinge novel "A Fire Upon the Deep"....
  • Commented on Decision Fatigue
    Australia has significant reserves of most of the critical minerals https://www.ga.gov.au/scientific-topics/minerals/critical-minerals and a number of players pushing to make us a Renewables Superpower...
  • Commented on Fossil fuels are dead (and here's why)
    We also have mining billionaires pushing the move https://www.pv-magazine-australia.com/2021/08/18/twiggy-forrests-green-hydrogen-ambitions-will-require-renewables-at-3x-australias-total-energy-consumption/...
  • Commented on Fossil fuels are dead (and here's why)
    Interesting parallel, in that Australia is one of the largest exporters of coal and gas, but we also have massive solar and wind resources. The current push is that we use the solar and wind to create green hydrogen/ammonia and...
  • Commented on Fossil fuels are dead (and here's why)
    *Coal, not Cola. BTW, I spent 13 years working for a Hydro generator and have kept in touch with what is happening in the industry in the 3 years since leaving. The mood in the renewables space is very upbeat...
  • Commented on Fossil fuels are dead (and here's why)
    While I agree that national governments are not doing enough, the change is happening, just driven by state & local governments and corporates. Even here is Australia that has suffered under a Cola loving Federal government for more than a...

  • Commented on Upcoming events
    Charlie, I will be at both conventions, which would be better for your signing? Also are their any other sessions you thought were interesting at Worldcon? I'm looking at some of the other AI ones....
  • Commented on Upcoming appearances
    We are booked to fly out of Edinburgh on 15th of September and are driving over from Ireland after the cons, so we might keep away from the big smoke until the last few days (and remember to rug up)....
  • Commented on Upcoming appearances
    I'm coming to Ireland and Scotland in August and September from Australia and be at WorldCon and Titancon and then driving through eventually to Edinburgh. Trying not to sound like a stalker, but hoping to catch up with you sometime...
