Yup, the whole thing. Each. 'True Romance' has these grey tones that can't be beat by usual cinema..

Sorry Damian, but this is a copy'n'paste of @nilsgilman.bsky.social's article 'The Coming Ecological Cold War' in foreignpolicy.com; but you have made the exact same mistake - as is now a leitmotif of the Guardian's - in that you dismiss KSA & GCC commitment to #hydrogen & hydrogen exports

ECB monetary policy needs to lead by example. They are not following their legally obligating price stability mandate

We show that interest rate hikes by central banks are less powerful in reducing inflation than conventional wisdom suggests. Correcting for publication bias, the output cost of reducing inflation increases. Based on our meta-study of 145,000 point estimates and confidence bounds.

Total bullshit.
Raising interest rates has NO EFFECT on inflation. Monetary policy in it's current form is not fit for purpose - how long will the charade continue?

Patrick Imam and Tigran Poghosyan show that despite earlier and sharper tightening, inflation targeting central banks did not achieve systematically better outcomes than their non-targeting peers during the 2022 global inflation surge.

As soon as Trump is gone, those 7 industry hubs will start again and the US can continue the drive to get off shale. Battery-Powered Everything™ is a false promise that hollows out the industrial base and speeds climate-related decline
Still optimistic about the industry in the US post-Trump

You can't use batteries for most things, and then usually, electricity infrastructure is expensive, time-consuming, and extremely limited in energy volume
Pipelines make a lot of sense, which is why we use them

Hydrogen is progressing rapidly. The only delay for industry is infrastructure which in Europe and elsewhere is being built out. Low-cost production and demand centres need a pipeline to connect them
For transport, on-site production starting with trucks is also occuring, starting in China

Batteries have a weight and scale problem which fuel doesn't
And then hydrogen is the *only* fuel that does not produce emissions during production or use

If you look at industry, policy, the people who provide operate energy transmission in the EU today (kinda complicated) then you realise that hydrogen is the MAIN COMPONENT to decarbonising

With 1TWh of grid batteries globally by 2030 (to power everything from heavy industry to seasonal energy storage) versus a potential 1,220TWh of hydrogen, it's obvious where their focus lies: maintaining the status quo at all costs while the world burns
And yes, TFC is 120,000TWh. They are a joke.

There is seemingly no space for balanced assessment or anything beyond the failed belief batteries and direct electrification will provide all energy needs globally
Because if we realised that H2 not only is the only option for many use cases, but is quick and cheap, then fossil investment ends
