28·9 days agoNope, right wing bullshit repackaged to be attractive to young men, who want sex. Basically the idea is to naturalize hierachy in male groups, while at the same time isolating them socialy. When you try to dominate others, they usually do not like that and lets be clear most guys want to be the dominant kind in that kind of system. The funny part being that women also usually do not like it. There is a reason half the influencers in these sort of communities end up having to pay for women or just rape.
Kagan voted for it. Useless Democrats

Renault does not have sales in the US. They do have a partnership with Nissan, but that has faced some issues, ever since the CEO who organized that cooperation became an international fugitive, by flying out of Japan in an audio equipment box to not be trialed for stealing money.
Is this what Peak Oil looks like?
No, just corruption. In case of peak oil, they would support alternatives as well.
This is fossil fuel propaganda. The EU has the ETS, which this is refering to. It is covering industrial, electricity generation, aviation and a few other sectors for years. A few years ago they passed the law for an additional scheme ETS2 for home heating and petrol.
The new part is using the money from ETCS2 to finance the EU rather then the members.
I am just paraphrasing the article. Looking up their IEA source they use for 2021 shows some newer data. I would have thought FT was better then that. But it is using 2024 73% renewables and another 8% nuclear. Coal made up 7.2%

Over half of the growth of electricity consumption was meet by renewables.

Heatpumps produce 3-5 times more heat then the electricity put into them. EVs are about as bad as a n ice car, even when run on coal electricity. Also we know how to replace coal based electricity.
Texas loves oil and gas and BlackRock did some ESG stuff for PR. Show of force.

If we do not stop emitting, we will continue to change the climate. Therefore adaption to new climate reality would have to continue forever unless we stop emitting.
That is not to say we do not also have to adapt. The rise in temperature is already at a level, where continuing as normal is no longer feasible. Those adaptions are a huge part of the cost of polluting our planet with fossil fuel emissions. Hence we have to make the polluters pay for it.
Do not worry. Tesla is an American company and with high enough tariffs they will be able to keep the Chinese out of the market. That means the US can buy overly expensive low quality EVs along combustion engine cars, while the rest of the world goes to high end EVs.
Also keep in mind that Europe there are a lot more car companies selling EVs then just BYD and Tesla in Europe.
Germany elected a more left leaning government and they actually did pass some good climate legislation. That was aided by Putin cutting of fossil fuels to Germany as well, but the protests and public mood were certainly on the site of climate action. However the protests were having problems of bringing the same numbers on the street as before covid and the fossil fuel industry spend on a lot on busting the protests.
Then the far right really gained strength in Germany and that became the much more pressing issue, rather then climate change.
Netherlands has 35.1% BEV
It is not just tariffs, but also the Saudis pushing oil prices down. They have the lowest production price, so lowering the global oil prices gives them market share. US oil production is the one to loose. However the EU is going with sanctions against Russia, trying to force them to cut first. They much rather see the US keeping their current level of oil production.
We will see, but low oil prices are good news. It means less money for lobbying. So the cheaper green alternatives gain market share.
China lacks the massive oil and gas reserves the US has. The only fossil fuel they have a lot of is coal and they do use that.
Maritime. The problem for both of them is range and energy density of batteries compared to oil based fuel. That is a problem, when you want to cross oceans or similar distances with planes.
There are a lot of cases in the maritime enviroment, where you do not need to cross an ocean and it is economically sensible. Currently a big one are ferries. Those are relativly short routes, with known port infrastructure. So it is easy to charge the ferries in the ports and then make the journey. The next ones in line would probably be feeder ships. Those are smaller vessels transporting cargo from smaller ports to larger ones. In the large ports they then are loaded on ocean liners. Cruise ships are also a market to watch. For Europeans style crusises it is very common to only be on sea for a night or maybe a day, to then go to a port and dump the tourist on some city. Should be possible to go electric.
For aviation it is also not nothing. There are short flights as well. Again islands are a common one. There are also things like agricultural planes, which can be electrified or say medical helicopters or maybe even fire fighting planes. However there is a lot more competition from land based transport, such as high speed rail.
