WTAF?
Well that was interesting.
Wicked Problems is back with a real bang, after the UK government nuked its own industrial strategy that just days ago it boasted had brought in ￡6 billion in investment in EV and battery manufacturing. Read it and weep.
Featuring comment from Energy UK , Ford's Lisa Brankin , Mike Hawes , and a lot of very confused Tories.
And more goodness from Chris Sacca of Lowercarbon Capital , Cipher News ' Anca Gurzu , E3G 's Alexandra Scott , Katapult 's Linn-Cecilie Linnemann , Andy Kerr .

11 个月After the 1916 San Francisco earthquake, luckily, engineers in buildings and civil works did much more than talk about the wicked problems, they looked at what went so wrong. Then they did more than commit to fight earthquake failures. They went to work doing research and testing and developing design standards and implementing them in the new discipline of earthquake engineering. After the 1912 sinking of the Titanic, luckily, engineers in maritime operations and naval architects did much more than talk about the disaster, and they looked at what had gone wrong, why so many had died, and they started working on marine safety standards, requirements for training and operations. I could go on. But we all can look at the history of corrective trans-disciplines to see how they emerge and how they change the future trajectory. After the 2022-23 top line climate disasters, hopefully engineers in energy, electricity, transport, buildings, manufacturing, software, modelling, data... will look at what is going wrong with "fighting climate change" or "taking action" and we will do much more than talk about the science, the politics, economics, and how wicked the problems are. #transitionengineering will emerge
