Infine consiglio questo pezzo del @newclimate.bsky.social sulla Clean #Trade and #Investment Partneship avviata con il #Sudafrica.

Le #CTIP potrebbero essere un interessante strumento per conciliare autonomia strategica, legami bilaterali e transizione verde

Himanshu Bhatt:
"Study: how BYD & CATL didn't just catch up to legacy auto—they leapfrogged them.

By integrating "economics of innovation" w/ global production strategies, research shows how these firms disrupted hierarchy through technological aggression rather than just relying on state support."

It is heartwarming to see critical, yet open minded young scholars, commit to improving the European project.

German taxpayers are handing BMW €273m to once again attempt to push hydrogen-powered cars, when battery prices have once again dropped >50% in the past ~18 month and CATL is on its 5th-gen LFP battery.

CATL, BYD et al must be laughing all the way to the bank.

Sigh.
