“Have a great day!”

[LIVE]: A Step Further Out with publius
The very thought of the “carbon footprint of astronomy” causes me to fly into a frothing rage. Also, an opportunity to receive unique mail ; Colonies on Saturn! and, has Private Equity ruined capitalism?
Service is resumed, huzzah! (You may all now commence rejoicing.) I talk about what I’ve been doing the past few weeks, notably my visit to Torness, with photos here and here ; the continuing CST–100 debacle ; some decidedly unsatisfactory engineering in the vicinity of Amsterdam ; and an extraordinary and deplorable matter in Britain.
Greetings from Munich! Not the most coherent show, but I manage to allude to the major Power Outrage in Omaha, “battery trains” (the new secret sauce for solar power), the October 1987 storm in Britain, and A Trans–Atlantic Tunnel, Hurrah! by Harry Harrison. You also learn details of how I’ve handled blast №2, and a new order of stickers.
Power outage? Power outrage! Also I attempt to define “high technology” by reference to Adam Smith’s ideas about the division of labor, and this helps to clarify part of the problems I have with both “de–growth” and “trans–humanism”.
