BlueSky search function is failing me so hard right now 🥲

China's coal commissioning is a bit complicated, and it's all very dependent where you make time series cuts vs FYPs.
But the headline is carbon peaking looks ahead of schedule - and they're keen to keep under promising and over delivering.

Everything in your post is absolutely sensible, centre-ground assessment from 2010s, and in 2025 almost every data point is under pressure in favour of renewables, against the field.

The cost curves crushing other considerations - only interest rates are challenging, and do nothing for the field.

Tell me about it 🥲🥲

There were all these semi-plausible rumours about how the gold standard late 2000's & early 10's UN/IEA green economy market sizing & econometric analysis just got hoovered up by China while everyone was doing financial crisis firefighting... And now look at where we are.

I'm kind of baffled how the "moderates" have apparently all decided to turn against climate policy at once, just as China reaches green electrostate liftoff mode. I thought these people were all about National Greatness and making Hard Choices

Everyone wants optimisation logic, and they end up with maximisation logic.

You can't 'one cool trick' your way to stronger governance and standards on anything. It takes a village, a culture, and - ideally - a zero-subtext catastrophic governance failure in the recent past breathing down ppls neck

It's a useful reminder that sometimes tech can make a task more efficient for one side (applying for jobs), and more efficient for the other side (writing job adverts), and yet make the system as a whole completely inefficient.

Let alone *police crimes*. Those are the worst ones.

At another level, you look at the private money, imagine the de-risking operation and RoIs demanded to get there, and think - is a larger public finance $ option any less plausible to get there, or nearly there?

33% chance this comes back to bite his ass.

Laughs in UK long 2010s austerity, brexit, covidflation economy.
Only just pulling out of those 'worst real wage growth since Napoleonic wars' lows 🌞

Serious point, there'll be a real wealth, vibes gap between US and non-US western millennials around differential exposure to US stock market gains.
