‘Low-Carbon Histories for Zero-Carbon Futures’ is out today @jofhistgeog.bsky.social - a collective case for thinking historically about energy. doi.org/10.1016/j.jh...

Climate crisis has made the transition from carbon-rich to low-carbon energy systems an existential necessity for the future of our planet. This article sets out how greater attention to low-carbon energy history, currently a neglected component of modern energy development, should comprise an essential part of building a zero-carbon future. We argue for the usefulness of low-carbon as a capacious term that foregrounds the historic and ongoing relationality between low- and high-carbon energy, and set out the ways this has shaped energy infrastructures, practices, and imaginaries through the twentieth century to the present. We outline a range of analytics—materiality, scaling, community—around which critical understandings of low-carbon energy can be gained. And we show that decarbonization, while urgent, does not have to be speculative: the historical examples provided here offer valuable insights into the social and spatial impacts and temporal challenges of introducing new energy infrastructure and decommissioning old that can, and should, be paid more attention.

#BinsSky

I usually read my copy of The Modernist then send it off to a charity shop. But I kept issue 34 because it has @katrinanavickas.bsky.social’s excellent typology of British bins, which I really think someone should turn into a poster.

A spread from a tall thin magazine. It shows four different types of bins that you might find in the streets of a British town, with detailed descriptive text.

A real academic superpower: the ability to write titles and abstracts without crying and contemplating your life choices.

And a packet of Schwebis as a treat.

A single gummy that sort of looks like a train.

SCHWEBEBAHN!

My school year is well into 40th birthday season now, and this weekend’s extravaganza - celebrating Mae & David at the Lochardil Hotel in Inverness with the loveliest of friends - was a hoot 🥳

Naturally the most important part of any archive trip - the end of-the-day chance to sit and think about nothing whilst everything “processes”

A little self promotion here for those who don't know that i'm a binfluencer. I have written about bins for Joe Lycett and for The Modernist. Career highlights, really.
