Ever wondered why there is no accessible book-length introduction to ecological economics and the political economy of transitions in Danish?

I know I have, so I tried to write one. It is out tomorrow, asking how we analytically should approach whether it is too little, too late and who benefits.

Love the FT, but their reporting of the economics of energy transition remains so, so poor.

They've published effectively this same lazy, confused piece -- renewables are cheap, so must be taking over, but oh! they aren't -- every year for the past decade.
The global boom in solar — with or without the US
Despite the scepticism about renewables in Washington, falling prices for new panels are making a compelling business case around the world

The Al Capone of Cheese meets Al Capone in Pynchon's new novel:

“Yeah! Yeah I am the Al Capone of Cheese, see? Il Al Capone di Formaggio.”
“Pleasure to meet you – in fact I happen to be Al Capone”
“Hep to that, my paisan! And what is it you’re the Al Capone of again”
