I feel like this is a very strong counter to a lot of arguments about fundamental economic or structural obstacles to decarbonization, or that it requires a comprehensive reorganization of our system of production. It's a political choice, that's all.

A fairly unique feature here is that imposing structure allows the algorithm to generalise to phase spaces (physics processes) it hasn’t seen in the training!

Was die @iea.org in ihrem jüngsten Bericht über Deutschland aufgeschrieben hat, ist nicht nur ein ziemlich gutes Zeugnis für die Energiepolitik der Ampel-Koalition (mit Ausnahme des Verkehrssektors) – sondern auch die klare Empfehlung an die nächste Regierung, am bisherigen Kurs festzuhalten:
