The number of heat pumps going into new residential buildings in Germany has risen dramatically, but - just like EVs with fleet turnover - this has to propagate to the entire housing stock. At least we can see that gas has now peaked in the German housing stock.

Heute ist #heatpumpday. Unsere neuen Grafiken zeigen: #Wärmepumpen haben sich innerhalb weniger Jahre von einer der teuersten Heizoptionen zur kostengünstigsten entwickelt.

💡Energieeffizienz + erneuerbare Wärmesysteme zahlen sich aus.

Good morning with good news: Wind & solar generated 57.5% of Germany's electricity in June 2025!

That is up from 47.7% in June 2024 & double the 28.8% in June 2021.

W&S output surged 33% to 21.1 TWh in June 2025 from 16.6 TWh in June 2024.

Germany is the world's 3rd largest economy.

New ICCT data shows EU battery EVs now emit 73% less life-cycle CO₂ than petrol cars — up from ~59% just a few years ago. Cleaner grids & greener battery production are accelerating the shift faster than expected. Europe's EV transition is picking up pace, fast. #EV #Europe #CleanTransport #NetZero

Europe's reliance on fossil fuel imports funds autocratic regimes, creating a dangerous vulnerability.

The transition to clean, homegrown energy isn't just an environmental goal—it's a national security imperative.

In my latest long form newsletter post, I warned that Trump’s tariffs would break America’s trade flows and hollow out the ports.

Now we have proof.

The inbound traffic at West Coast ports is collapsing.

Empty Ships, Empty Promises: Trump's Tariffs Are About to Decimate American Shipping
Trump's 145% tariffs triggered a flood of imports—but not a rise in American exports. West Coast ports are now sending ships back empty. This imbalance isn't just economic—it's personal. Jobs, wages, ...

The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology.

If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.

Interesting view on populism and wealth.

Trump claims so many countries called him kissing his ass that he will just forget the big tariff rollout that was suppose to transform and rejuvenate our country by bringing manufacturing jobs back. He claims people kissed his ass, so forget all that.
