  1. There are a lot of trade-offs with fossil fuel use that we definitely don't discuss enough. #PiperAlpha was the really big one I recall as a kid, but it was just the latest in a whole succession of oil platform accidents that cost a lot of lives and suffering in the North Sea. And then there was #DeepWaterHorizon.

    And that's quite apart from the climate costs.
    You wonder how many of these happen that we don't hear about too.

    This is a good reminder.
