Last week, the French government announced an extra €1,000 bonus for EVs with batteries made in Europe.

“The more the German industry continues to focus on phasing out niche technologies […] the easier it becomes for Chinese companies to expand their lead in batteries and new electronic vehicle architectures.”

Remarkable op-ed by former VW boss Herbert Diess.

Seit neuestem beschießen Anwohner*innen der Riedbahn die vorbeifahrenden ICEs mit Steinen (?). Mit ein paar zerborstenen Fenstern geht's jetzt einmal nur langsam (wenn überhaupt) weiter. Ich wünsch den Spaßvögeln ganz herzlich alles Schreckliche. #trains #DeutscheBahn #Bahn

🚨 Do people listen when an emergency alert asks them to save energy?
During Michigan’s 2019 gas shortage, a phone alert to set thermostats at 65°F spurred action within minutes—unlike earlier social media/news nudges. Smart thermostat data show an average 1.1°F drop.

A careful study of every populist episode since 1900 finds catastrophic consequences, which play out slowly.

On average, incomes fall behind by nearly 15% over 15 years.

For the U.S., this is a cost of about $13k per person per year. Over a lifetime, that's million bucks.
