I am back from leave, and very excited to share that @chrisbataille.bsky.social and I have a new report out called "Strategic decarbonisation of the Canadian iron and steel industry: A worker-centered path to cut emissions, increase value added and strengthen global supply chains".

NEW from me: CO2 emissions in China have now been flat or falling for 18 months, the first time that energy demand growth at or above historical averages doesn't drive emissions up, thanks to the clean energy boom. 🧵👇

The problem from their point of view is that rapid decarbonization requires public, collective decisions about the organization of production, in a way that threaten capital-owners' authority over both the production process and the political system.

China's first solar and wind auction under the new competitive contracting system, in Shandong, was a shock to solar developers due to low prices. After 5 more auctions, things look more balanced or at least more varied. No other province saw as large cuts to pricing as Shandong.

Och vet ni hur mycket Sverige idag lägger på att importera fossil energi?
Över 200 miljarder kronor om året.
Kunde vi använda de pengarna bättre kanske? eller är det ”woke”?

As Mamdani nears victory, Democrats worry about national fallout
The progressive candidate is on the cusp of a historic mayoral win. And that's adding to unease among Democrats looking for a way back to national power.

Atm China is developing its next 5-y plan with a focus on industry decarbonisation and hydrogen. Several state firms are already making investments
And now, some in the EU elite want to not only cut support and decarbonisation targets, but also the ETS? An act of incredible self-harm and myopia

Recently German political discourse is replete with attacks on the EU ETS. In an op-ed I argue that these attacks could easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy. It may help us short term we are shooting ourselves in the foot in the race for the future: wupperinst.org/en/a/wi/a/s/...

If true… also exposes flaws in private sector and a pure free market approach. Not like it was impossible to see rising China tension as potentially impacting supply chains and yet

Interesting climate/energy policy developments in China.
The Central Committee of the Communist Party lays out the key directions and priorities for China for the next five years. It reaffirms the importance of clean energy for China's energy, economic and industrial policy, but raises concerns about commitment to 2030 climate targets.
