What lesson will Iran learn? Become a ‘normal’ country or quickly build more nuclear weapons and missiles for stronger deterrence?

Electrification 2.0 = the next wave of climate tech.
Ships, planes, factories, proteins, buildings, grids—it’s time to plug the whole economy into clean power.

I wrote about the startups, systems, and capital we need to scale it fast:

In the past year we've had a series of papers with results that've shocked #climate scientists - the globe is heating #FasterThanExpected & we don't fully know why

The public discourse is not keeping up.

Here's a series of 5 new studies that climate hawks & journos need to have on their radar 🧵

PV for a neonatal unit. This must be one of the most effective aid projects conceivable, in terms of lives saved per $ spent. Any academics out there want to work on quantifying it?

Trade deficits matter: US imports > exports, funded by a financial surplus—mostly stocks & bonds, not new factories. In 2023, greenfield FDI was just 1.5% of it. It’s trading goods for paper assets, not building industry.

Without tarrifs or a currency peg this is what happens. 1997 Asia crisis was the real turning point with the build up of offshore dollar reserves. The solution is likely monetary and not tarrifs.

If Trumps gamble works 10% tariffs across the board will stay and deals will be made with individual surplus countries to cut their surpluses through various adjustments, and things will stabilize. Off course it can also turn into an all out downward spiral trade war…

Let’s say Trump’s tariffs work and the US closes its trade deficit. Where will countries get their trade and reserve currency dollars from? That would cause a massive dollar shortage and global recession.

Europe’s climate action and energy security are two sides of the same coin.

While progress has been made to reduce emissions from road transport, growth in aviation traffic threatens to keep Europe reliant on oil imports.

Same protocol as China, only travel with burner phone and laptop to the US from now on.
