Sigh. It should not be surprising at all, but the realities of the Trump era takes time to take in. I hope othersin Europe are more agile than me.
EXCLUSIVE: US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff advised Russia on how to pitch Ukraine plans to Trump, in audio files reviewed by Bloomberg
Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

Quite interesting. While clearly Exxon, in this case, tries greenwash their specific operation, chemical recycling will be necessary for circular economy in the future. Polymers are VERY diverse and some very stable. Its unlikely that sorting of plastic waste can fulfil circular economy goals.

Electrification + efficiency — not rolling back climate policy — is the real path to a competitive European industry.
High fossil fuel prices hit industry hardest, not the Green Deal. Undermining clean-energy commitments would only push investment elsewhere.

Why electrification, not repealing green laws, will save Europe's industry
According to Oxford professor of energy Jan Rosenow, rapid electrification of Europe's industry, not rolling back the EU's Green Deal, will save European industry.

Not just soften. The EU would surrender the moral high ground to a rights-based regulatory environment in the interests of protecting users in the digital ecosystem.
The US pushes for softer digital rules enforcement in exchange for tariff relief to the Europeans after Brussels meeting with Greer and Lutnick.

Not surprising that heat pumps is a key technology also in industrial processes compared to hydrogen. That is, for applications requiring low and medium temperatures. The picture might be different for high temperature applications @janrosenow.bsky.social

Godt initiativ, men hvorfor er det ikke landsdækkende? (ja naturligvis er der ikke S-tog i hele landet, men der er dog DSB tog i en stor del af landet og det er jo det samme).
For statslige virksomheder er det en uskik at behandle nogle dele af landet anderledes end andre dele. Vi betaler vel alle.

So many symbols of Europe (collectively, including the UK) putting defensive politics ahead of responding to the modern world. Which is more than anything else the reason for widespread disillusion and sluggish growth.
A “veggie burger” ban nobody wanted is becoming one Brussels might actually pass.

Ukraine is the battlefield, but the war that Putin is waging is a larger war against the European order of peace, freedom and the rule of law. His hybrid attacks have been directed at Germany, Poland and others for years now and are becoming ever more brazen.

Some interesting perspectives in this thread. @aslak.bsky.social argues in relation to UK that a/the Customs Union is a bigger stretch on UK sovereignty than membership of the single market.
Maybe true on foreign politics, but not so much on stuff that affect everyday life.

There's a prevailing idea in the UK that a customs union with the EU would be a compromise solution if single market membership is not possible, e.g @eddavey.libdems.org.uk and @jonathanfreedland.bsky.social recently. But a customs union is, from a trade policy, a more radical step. (1/N)

To repeat: the Trump administration peace deal was always a deal for peace between Russia and the US, not Russia and Ukraine. In it, it seems, the US gets Ukraine's resources, Russia gets Ukraine's land, and Ukraine gets to say thank you.

Der er bemærkelsesværdigt stille fra samme kanter omkring Trumps tilsvarende plan for Ukraine. Måske bliver planen underskrevet, men fred i lang tid giver den næppe
