  News and blog integration

  I'd love to see the news and the blog sections become integrated - at the moment I find myself ignoring the news site in favour of the blog.

  Also pleased to see that Happy Cog is doing the work - they've long had my respect in the web development industry, for their focus on what users need and their high standards. On Grist is cooking up a new site; what do you want to see in it? posted 1 year, 6 months ago 32 Responses

  Add Flannery to the list

  At a talk Tim Flannery gave last year that I attended, he said he saw maybe 5% of Australia's future energy usage coming from nuclear, although the bulk would be wind, solar and hot rocks with gas backup.

  Just recently in an interview he said that China may have to consider it as well if they want to get away from coal, and that he doesn't expect to see it in Australia in his lifetime due to costs/time to construct.

  He's cautious about it, but seems certain that it will eventually happen.On And no, global warming doesn't change that posted 2 years, 9 months ago 12 Responses
