  • Thank you for the correct link, much appreciated.

    Completely agree the 2030 target is electricity, not the entire economy.

    For me the key paragraph is in the middle of this section, emphasis mine:

    I know some like Extinction Rebellion will lecture me on carbon capture investment. They’ll say it isn’t the right choice.

    But it’s working people who come first. Without this tech, heavy industries such as cement, glass-making and chemicals will risk having to down tools.

    The Budget in a few weeks’ time will be about fixing the foundations and continuing to show a decisive break from the past

    The jobs of brickies, sparkies and engineers — the backbone of Britain — will be risked.

    That means fewer new homes, fewer new roads and a slow decline to the dark ages.

    These are not impossible industries to decarbonise, but they are very difficult especially with stuff like cement.

    Back to your original reply, I don’t think it’s a fair reading of the manifesto to say they promised more than 2030 for electricity and ~2050 for the economy.

    Yes I want this to be faster, I’m still pissed off that the £34bn/year for retrofitting, etc, has been watered down multiple times, but - so far - nothing from the manifesto has been scraped.

    Come the budget at the end of the month, I may very well be wrong, and very angry.

    Edit on budget day: I wasn’t.

    I asked ChatGPT what it thought of this:

    The phrase “rats leaving a sinking ship” often conjures images of individuals abandoning a failing situation in search of safety, reflecting a natural instinct for self-preservation. In the world of tech, leadership changes can evoke similar sentiments, particularly when a high-profile figure like Mira Murati steps down as CTO. Her departure may signal deeper issues within the company, leading to speculation about its stability and future direction. Just as rats flee a deteriorating vessel, employees and stakeholders might interpret her exit as a warning sign, prompting concerns about the organization’s health and long-term viability.

    Murati’s tenure as CTO brought innovation and leadership, positioning the company as a front-runner in its industry. Her decision to leave could suggest an unraveling of the strategic vision that once propelled the organization forward. This parallel highlights the instinctive reaction of those within the company; employees may feel uncertain about their future, mirroring the chaos and trepidation felt aboard a ship in distress. The fear of instability can lead to a wave of resignations, as others seek to secure their own positions before the situation worsens.

    However, not every departure must be viewed through a negative lens. Just as rats leaving a sinking ship might find new, more promising environments, Murati’s exit could open doors for fresh leadership and innovative ideas. This shift might provide an opportunity for rejuvenation and growth within the company, allowing it to adapt and evolve. While the immediate reaction may be one of alarm, such transitions can also lead to renewed focus and a stronger foundation, illustrating that change—though often unsettling—can ultimately foster resilience and progress.

    Emphasis mine - no shit!

    Also, good luck to those enterprising rats finding a more promising environment in the, er, sea…
