Finally gave my introductory lecture as Adjunct Professor at @unidue.bsky.social. The certificate is dated January 2025…sometimes things take a bit longer. Looking forward to future collaborations within @crc-resist.bsky.social and beyond. Thank you for the wonderful welcome reception

Genau das! Alles abgewandert vom ehemaligen Weltmarktführer D, erzählt von einem Ex-Studenten aus Oldenburg

"Jin Tang arbeitet seit 30 Jahren in der Phootovoltaik-Industrie. Studiert hat er in Oldenburg. Er hat erlebt, wie das Know how vom ehemaligen Weltmarktführer Deutschland schrittweise nach China abgewandert ist. Jetzt dominiert die Volksrepublik den Weltmarkt."

Tja.

One of the most self-destructive things Germany could do is to reverse the green transition now.

Renewables expansion has been on a tear but Germany has seen reversals before, unfortunately. And the country still does not have oil or gas and isn’t getting any anytime soon (ever).

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity
Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

feels like as good a day as any to share an excerpt from my dissertation acknowledgements 🧪⚒️
I am compelled also to acknowledge the circumstances of my graduate years, and the years ahead. When the pandemic began, I was lucky to have the job security of a funded PhD. I have had the privilege to criticize my university and be heard, and I felt the momentum of the campus labor movement as my comrades and I organized for better conditions for graduate workers. The geoscience community has been actively addressing systemic inequities in our field, and over the past six years, I have seen meaningful positive change. I have, at times, felt optimism for the future of the planet and academia and my own life. I fear I am among the last people who will have these experiences in the United States. I can no longer earnestly discuss possibilities for work that might build upon what I have accomplished as a graduate student because I do not expect anyone to have the opportunity to continue these lines of research, although the following chapters briefly describe what could be. I acknowledge the collective grief of the scientific community as our progress is derailed and our lives are worsened. I acknowledge the target on my back that I earn by being a climate scientist and a labor organizer and a leftist. This future scares me, but it is too late to retreat or to try to appear compliant. As scientists we must continue to do the real work of seeking truth and knowledge despite our fears of the threats against us. What faith I have is in the Earth, in the awareness of time that we share as geologists. Whatever becomes of us and our institutions, we can dig in the dirt, we can read history in landscapes, we can hold onto rocks that knew a distant past and will know a future we will not see.

I spend a lot of time trying to talk to people with whom I disagree wildly. Yet almost all the bile I get these days is from people with whom I agree on 99% of issues. I call this "Bluesky Disease" and it's a real problem.

I await the inevitable backlash with my finger poised on the block button.

Wie es aussieht, ist eine Regierung, die sich vorrangig mit Grenzschließungen, Kürzungen beim Bürgergeld, Sprachverboten oder dem Rückabwickeln der Energiewende beschäftigt, für einen wirtschaftlichen Aufschwung nicht sehr hilfreich.
Konjunktur: Zulieferer in Deutschland verlieren Glauben an den Aufschwung
In der deutschen Zulieferindustrie macht sich eine Art Untergangsstimmung breit. Der Glaube an bessere Zeiten schwindet – und das hat Folgen für Investitionen und Beschäftigung.

Ein CDU-Politiker tritt meine Tür auf und schreit mich an, ich sei zu faul und würde unseren Wohlstand gefährden. Dann zündet er die einzige Bushaltestelle im Ort an und vergiftet den Fluss hinter meinem Haus. Schließlich fragt er mich, warum ich kein Vertrauen in seine Politik habe.
