This is a particularly insightful piece that discusses, for instance, why solar and wind energy have expanded at a rate faster than even the most optimistic projections.

p.s. Frogs do hop out of the water when it gets uncomfortable. We need a better metaphor for the lack of updated assessments of changing situations.

The truth about the story of 'boiled frog'
According to scientific experiments, the story that frogs do not recognize danger and do not run away when slowly heated is incorrect.

Our prehistoric hunter gatherer ancestors were considerably less violent than the orthodoxy previously held. But they were vulnerable to sociopaths—how did they handle these?

When horses were replaced by cars there was a lot of resistance & scaremongering by the incumbent horse industry. Here's an old anti car advert by a horse carriage company.
History now repeats itself with countless scare stories about renewables, heat pumps & electric vehicles.

Zoals steeds... onderbouwd, inzichtelijk en to the point! 👇
Er is geen technologische quick win om de Europese energieprijzen te drukken, laat staan naar niveaus zoals in de VS te brengen. Kernenergie is te duur, hernieuwbaar intermittent. Maar ons gasverbruik reduceren, dat kan wel helpen. Mijn column in DS vandaag www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20241... /
Er is maar één manier om onze energieprijzen te doen dalen: iedereen van het gas en aan de warmtepomp!
Onze hoge gas- en stroomprijzen vergen doortastende maatregelen, schrijft Joannes Laveyne. We moeten zo snel mogelijk ophouden onze woningen en gebouwen met gas te verwarmen.

It's much harder to 'electrify everything' when you put most energy taxes on electricity...
Cost of electricity relative to fossil fuels is key factor when it comes to industrial electrification.
In most EU countries electricity is taxed more & renewable energy support levies are often put on electricity & not on fossil fuels.

Charts showing people overestimating the prevalence of minorities (and underestimating that of majorities) evoke outrage about media bias and xenophobia—wrongly so, research suggests. This is a common psychological phenomenon: https://buff.ly/3OJviKx

In the BABEL research project we took the idea of implementing basic income in a developed welfare state such as Belgium seriously. Results will be presented during a webinar on Fri Jan 24, 2025. Stay tuned.

🚨 NEW PUBLICATION ALERT 🚨 In our new paper in the Socio-Economic Review, we delve into 60 years of research on the labour supply effects of basic income. Our conclusion is sobering: we don’t know much about the labour supply effects of a basic income in developed welfare states. 🧵
