Donald #Trump says the U.S. has provided $350 billion to #Ukraine, but that's a big exaggeration according to the @kiel.institute. Is Trump's mysterious affection for 350 with lots of zeroes inspired by a #Brexit bus in London? www.ifw-kiel.de/topics/war-a...

The U.S. shift to cleaner energy is far too slow but seems unstoppable despite Bush's lack of enthusiasm and Trump's wrecking-ball fossil-fuel boosterism.
U.S. emissions peaked around the time Bush set his 2025 target, and were down 17% from by 2022, #EPA data show:

Maybe Greenland and Denmark could show Donald Trump how insulted they feel by proposing a land swap: Maine to Mar-a-Lago for the Arctic island? @mettefrederiksen1.bsky.social on.ft.com/4jzuvty

Norway has generous tax breaks for non-gasoline/diesel cars (salving guilty conscience from offshore oil and gas production?). Tesla stays top with 19% of new cars in 2024 (down from 20% in 2023) - rising Chinese carmakers get 10% share.
Norway far outstrips EV sales in other European nations:

Can you beat this? 11 electric cars, all in a row, not at charging points, parked in Oslo. The run gets broken, by a Volvo … (In Norway, like licence plates starting with ‘E’ are EVs)

Is #Tesla's crown at risk in Norway, where more than 90% of new car sales are electric? Taxi drivers often lead the way in picking models and this central Oslo taxi rank shows: Tesla, Nio (Chinese), Toyota, Skoda, and Nio ... Also:
