the kicker is simply hiding in plain sight
"Those include a large industrial base that is hard to decarbonise, a high dependence on exports at a time when globalisation is under threat, and a mighty auto industry having to write off 140 years of internal combustion engine expertise."

Over the past few weeks, Sebastien Ash, Florian Müller and I took a deep dive into the demise of German manufacturing. The situation appears so bleak that it really blows my mind.

Some people say, with EVs, we're like in 2007, when the iPhone launched and Nokia, Blackberry and others didn't realise how big the menace was.They're wrong, we're like in 2010 when Apple had already eroded a big slice of the market and competitors said "no worries, we'll keep doing just fine".

Emissions from transport fuels fell 5% in Jan-Sep, driven by electric vehicles, economic structural shifts and public transportation, a very impressive result. Total oil consumption increased slightly regardless as chemicals production surged.
