Pakistan's solar revolution: from 0% to 25% in a decade.
2021: 4%
2022: 7%
2023: 10%
2024: 14%
2025: 25%
Solar is now Pakistan's #1 electricity source. Not driven by policy — driven by consumers.

Can the US release more of its strategic oil reserves?
"The SPR has a practical operational floor near 150–160 mb that must remain in place to preserve cavern stability."
Given Trumps concern for negative long-run consequences, I guess the SPR will be fully depleted...

man stelle sich die Schlagzeile vor:
„Ich habe Herrn Trump gesagt: So geht es nicht!“
Anlässe dazu hätte es im letzten Jahr ja so einige gegeben…

Hard to find myself in agreement with Trump. But given his obsession with renaming stuff, this seems like a sensible one.

Not knowing much about Scientific Reports, I thought of it at least as a reputable subjournal. Its shocking to see what they publish and shocking that Nature and its subjournals engage in such funneling.

He even calls the 600b from the EU a "gift" later in the longer version of the interview (around 15:50).

That's an interesting interpretation of the "investment promises". Will be interesting what happens if he actually demands the payment of the "signing bonus".
Certainly, the "trade deals" are not done and I guess they will continue to dominate the debate for quite some time going forward...

So Trump is saying that the investment promises within the trade "deals" are "like a signing bonus in baseball", and that its "our money to invest as we like". (starting around 2:45).
Specifically mentions 550b from Japan and 650b from the EU that are his to spend.
