Grid scale batteries are changing our electricity system. Excellent new visual story on batteries in FT today shows just how far this technology has evolved.

Fasten your seatbelts, this is just the beginning.

In person meeting @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu +@POTUS tomorrow is crucial for 🇪🇺🇺🇸. We finally need clarity. #Tariffs must be lowered again. Even current situation is untenable. A framework agreement must also prevent further tariffs. Trying to agree: yes; submission:no.
We are ready to react!

Fascinating by @bbcnadatawfik on #tariffs & President Trump’s 45yr-plus ‘zero-sum belief that allies are freeloaders; the liberal internationalist approach, dominant since WW II as weak, foolish in a competitive world. Solution: an aggressive, protectionist #trade policy”
