Et borgerbrev om DR's Israel-dækning har kørt hen over foråret i bl.a. BT og KD. Over 10.000 danskere har skrevet under på, at dækningen er skæv og med til at puste til jødehad. Jeg har gennemgået alle deres 50 eksempler og skrevet en tilbagevisning på 120 sider: www.eftertrykket.dk/2026/04/18/b...
"China’s exports of electric vehicles and hybrids more than doubled in March to a record as the global energy shock stemming from the Iran war renewed interest in EVs"
One word you will hear less of: Overcapacity
More of? Demand, demand, demand

At the same time, Beijing should band together with a coalition of the willing to launch a comprehensive global green investment push, boosting demand for its green industries. Europe would find this hard to resist. But everyone, even the Saudis and the Emiratis, are interested in China’s clean electrotech. The sharp distinction between petrostates and electrostates exists mainly in the minds of fossil-fuel ideologues, not for those interested in cheap, clean power. Finally, and most ambitiously, China could declare that in the interests of global stability there must be immediate ceasefire negotiations in both Ukraine and the Gulf. Until those talks begin, it is no longer in China’s interest to export critical supplies to combatants in either region. This would exert pressure both on Moscow and Washington. Without Chinese rare earths, the US and Israel cannot continue their missile war for long

we occasionally hear of English and American vessels, which, in those waters, have been remorselessly boarded and pillaged
Fossil fuel price shocks are redistribution shocks.
Last time, we warned windfall profits would benefit the ultra-rich at the expense of everyone else.
This time, there is no excuse. The numbers are in. We need windfall profit taxes & multilateral price caps now.
Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.
Sánchez: “You may have heard that Spain is alone. They’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed.
“We are not alone — we are the first. Those who will end up alone are the ones defending the indefensible.”
Wars are extremely hard things to justify. It is intrinsic to what they are that they tend to death, destruction, and misery. Given this and some knowledge of history, one's default attitude towards powerful people purporting to do the world some great benefit by war should be extreme scepticism.
Likviditetsproblemer for store virksomhedsejere ved en formueskat kan overkommes ved at staten kan modtage en ejerandel i virksomheden, der svarer til det beløb, som man ellers skulle betale i formueskat. Dermed sikre man, at pengene bliver i virksomheden. #dkpol #dkøko
CHINA: "The US is a war addict. Throughout its over 240-year history, it has been at war for all but 16 years. The US has 800 overseas military bases in over 80 countries and regions. The US is the main cause of international disorder, global turbulence, and regional instability."
China will be setting the geopolitical standard for the foreseeable future & the world will be better for it as more countries start choosing the stability of China over the instability of US hegemony, & the US will surely try to turn the world into hell as it lashes out with its last dying gasps.
Du vil høre fra LA og andre, at Norge har mistet milliarder efter de hævede formueskatten i 2022.
Det er et falsum, som særligt rådgivere i skattely har spredt - og de riges lobbyister videreformidler.

i.e. the lowest cost technology of identitical commodities win out in competition, but renewable electricity has higher costs than initially assumed and the commodity they produce is different, because it is intermittent.
I do feel like a large part of Christophers argument rests on the fact that:
1) Costs for renewables are significantly larger than LCOE because of transportation and land costs
2) Renewables produce electricity when the price is lowest
Which doesnt seem incompatible with Marx idea of competition.
Finally, a flag worth fighting for.
Looking forward to the forthcoming book by @kbayliss.bsky.social (of SOAS), on the growing role of private equity in water, energy and housing
I am calling for a complete and total boycott of the Mercator projection in all news stories about Greenland until every member of the American public has seen this
If I was advising the EU—and I 100% should be—my advice is that you prepare three sets of sanction packages:
1. Deliberate targeting of personal/corporate assets of Trump, Musk, Andressen, Sacks, etc like they’re Russian oligarchs by doing stuff like seizing Gigafactory Berlin. This gets used first.
Colombian President Petro commenting on the US;
“A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy. To keep Epstein's list from coming out, they send warships to kill fishermen & threaten our neighbor with invasion for their oil."
If Xi Jinping invaded Taiwan right now, and toppled the president there, on what grounds would the United States object? Or have any credibility to say anything?
Det här gör min förbannad rent ut sagt. Regeringen har förhalat sitt stöd, aktivt skapat osäkerhet om projektet och detta är slutstationen. Sverigedemokratiskt kulturkrig och borgerlig ängslighet kan göra att världens första gröna stålverk utanför Kina kan går om intet.

Better to follow Draghi's logic - things Europe won't do (solar, low value-added manufacturing), can do (EVs, R&D in hard to abate sectors) and must do (wind, batteries, pharma and biotech).
For Jacobin, I sat with @michaelpettis.bsky.social for a long conversation about the global trading system. We talked about his influential framework for understanding imbalances, hashed out some of our disagreements, discussed the role of finance and remedies.

The difficult truth is that a radical programme probably needs to be conservatively financed.
Some on the left appear to confuse radical proposals for financing mechanisms with proposals for a policy programme itself.

I made a mod that replaces cliffracers with Thomas the Tank Engine. I am incapable of learning lessons whenever it involves corporations, because I fundamentally do not view toy company CEOs or media CEOs as people.

‘As with climate change, the focus on consumers deflects scrutiny that should be directed towards industry. Not only do companies help establish false representations of consumer wastefulness, they are themselves waste creators on a gigantic scale.’
