An editor from a Springer Nature journal, a company that posted $2.1 billion in revenue in 2022 [1], from an industry with double-digit percent profits (~30% [2]), kindly asked me, an academic in the UK where salaries continue to plummet [3], whether I would be pleased to review a paper for them, for free ... so I kindly asked whether they would consider paying me. It is only logical.

[1] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springer…
[2] theguardian.com/science/2017/j…
[3] In UK academia, "Pay has fallen significantly in real terms since 2009, as have pension contributions, and redundancies are rife. Short-term contracts and precarious work arrangements are common, especially for younger staff, as universities struggle to balance their books." telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/01/2…

Is the staggeringly profitable business of scientific publishing bad for science?

The long read: It is an industry like no other, with profit margins to rival Google – and it was created by one of Britain’s most notorious tycoons: Robert Maxwell

Good news! The final ENTSO-E report into the Spain blackout is out A complex stew of different factors, but "too much solar" is simply not even among them, let alone a major component. As always: the narrative built by fossil/nuke advocates was wrong www.entsoe.eu/news/2026/03...
a complex diagram
Context Expert Panel Investigation Steps Information to Stakeholders Publications & Documents Contacts Summary The final report of the Expert Panel on the 28 April 2025 blackout in continental Spain and Portugal identifies the causes of the blackout and outlines recommendations to strengthen the resilience of Europe’s interconnected electricity system. It was prepared by a technical Expert Panel of 49 members, including representatives from Transmission System Operators (TSOs), Regional Coordination Centres (RCCs), ACER and National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs), and was chaired by experts from two unaffected TSOs. The investigation concludes that the blackout resulted from a combination of many interacting factors, including oscillations, gaps in voltage and reactive power control, differences in voltage regulation practices, rapid output reductions and generator disconnections in Spain, and uneven stabilisation capabilities. These factors led to fast increases of voltage and cascading generation disconnections in Spain, resulting in the blackout in continental Spain and Portugal. Based on these findings, the Expert Panel sets out recommendations addressing each of the factors identified in the report to help prevent similar events in the future. These include strengthened operational practices, improved monitoring of system behaviour and closer coordination and data exchange among power system actors. The findings of the investigation also underscore the need for regulatory frameworks to adapt in order to support the evolving nature of the power system. The 28 April blackout was a first of its kind event, and the recommendations aim to strengthen system resilience with solutions that are already technologically deployable. This blackout highlights how developments at the local level can have system-wide implications and underlines the importance of maintaining strong links between local and European system behaviour and coordination, while ensuring that market…

The big talking point that emerged DURING the blackout, led in particular by Bloomberg's Javier Blas, was that over-reliance on solar resulted in low 'system inertia' (the heartbeat of the grid). Others, such as a prominent Norwegian nuke advocate, helped spread it. it was COMPLETELY WRONG
4.4.2.3 Role of Inertia Role of increasing the total system inertia This simulation aims to investigate how additional system inertia could have affected the transient evolution during the incident. For this purpose, the dynamic models of the conventional generators, turbines, and other rotating masses were modified to increase the inertia constant. After these modifications, the total system inertia increased +20 % compared to the base case. Figure 4-95 and Figure 4-96 show the Spain–France active power exchange and the frequency at the La Cereal 400kV substation for the base case (blue), the case with a +20% increase in total system inertia (green), and the PMU measurements (red). The two simulations are very similar, and only a slight delay in the loss of synchronism can be observed. These results indicate that additional system inertia had a minimal impact on the degree of system evolution in the final moments of the incident. To better understand Figure 4-96, it is worth to note that a higher inertia makes the peninsular system inject and absorb energy with the rest of Europe in a slower (and slightly stronger) way during the loss of synchronism than in the base case. This makes the transient unloading of the system higher and, therefore, the overvoltage disconnections happens before than in the base case, making the frequency evolve in a steeper way towards blackout.
The blackout in Spain has now become as difficult to talk about as the Wuhan lab leak. Just because I shared some preliminary facts about the incident, I am now being accused of spreading misinformation in the name of nuclear power. Ironically, Ketan Joshi is affiliated with "The Australia Institute", a lobby organization with a clear anti-nuclear agenda, and supported by powerful, well-funded interests. A recently published report confirms that surges were the trigger for Europe's worst blackout. This corresponds exactly to what I myself pointed out a month ago. The problem now is that some are using this report as a basis to dismiss all other significant factors in the incident. The amount of inertia in the system was right on the edge of what is acceptable according to ENTSO-E. "Hellbreese", i.e. large amounts of sun and wind, are still a contributing factor. The energy solutions that do not contribute to system support cannot therefore be exempted from all blame. A well-functioning power grid needs voltage regulation, inertia and short-circuit performance. Some think this can be solved with batteries alone. But the solutions do not exist at scale and no one yet knows which market will pay for these services.
Javier Blas @Javier Blas. 2h Before the outage hit, Spain was running its grid with very little dispatchable spinning generation, and therefore no much inertia. Solar PV/thermal + wind: ~78% Nuclear: 11.5% Co-generation: 5% Gas-fired: ~3% (less than 1GW) Snapshot at 12.30pm local time (outage was 12.35pm) Solar PV 17,657 MW 60.64% Wind 3,499 MW 12.02% Nuclear 3,387 MW 11.63% Solar thermal 1,498 MW 5.14% Cogeneration and waste 1,356 MW 4.66% Combined cycle 982 MW 3.37% 95 503 1.3K 180K TM

This seems a bit weird. Are we to believe that the OpenTTD devs just happily chose to put someone else's paywall on the game?

Like, I can imagine why this might be considered a fair an reasonable outcome, but obviously it is not a win for OpenTTD. Its a decision that surely must be the result of implicit pressure. Right?

Welsh polling booth

In the first years I moved to Austalia the Federal government passed a law with support from both Labor and Liberal politicians which limited truth in advertising laws such that they did not apply to political speech. This was used in the upcoming election to misrepresent small parties and take their seats.

Is this Democracy? The Welsh have the right idea!

Law to make it illegal to lie in Welsh elections passed


The Welsh Parliament has passed a law to make it illegal for candidates to lie during Senedd elections.

The new law paves the way for a new criminal offence to make false or misleading statements of fact to help an election candidate...

The bill also establishes a recall system, giving the public the opportunity to kick out politicians who have misbehaved from the Welsh Parliament in between elections.
