Electrifying transport since 1990s. 🔌🔋🚗🚌🚛🚃🛩🚲 Financing the future of energy. Stirs the occasional pot. Tilts at windmills as a lifestyle choice.
If I didn’t know better, this is a Hal Riney ad in the best of ways. As @electricentertainment.com would say, “less spinach, more ice cream”.

Being an automotive supply chain expert in the year of our lord 2025 is how you age a year every week.
Apparently, inflation is bad, but we must impose tariffs to raise the cost of cheap imports so people buy expensive American goods. We can re-shore manufacturing, but to be cost competitive, we have to fully automate factories, replacing American workers with robots.

It’s almost like folks have been paying attention to how car sales work…
also the fact that many of the actual menu prices at fast food or fast casual places are now suckers' prices, with the *real* prices (adjusted for promotions, bonuses and discounts on app) available only to those who use the restaurants' loyalty apps.
I wonder how many people *never figured out* that third-party food delivery apps majorly mark up menu prices, and thus assumed that food inflation under Biden was *way worse than it actually was* as a direct result.

Most minerals projects have actually been done through the ATVM program, also affected by this proposal.

"The LPO is dead, long live the LPO"?
Yesterday's Senate ENR proposal zeroes out existing LPO authorities and retools *only* the 1706 authority into an "Energy Dominance Financing" program to lend to any energy or minerals project approved by the president.

Such a good episode. It describes how China has a very disruptive approach of losing $100B per strategic industry with no particular plan to make it back. In an economy as big as China's even $100B of losses in Solar, Batteries, Wind, EVs, Critical Minerals, etc can add up...
