Agree that anti-green rhetoric is against Germany's economic interests, as the leading clean tech manufacturer in the G7.
If this government cares about growth, it should want this sector to succeed.
Do think some clean tech industrial policy is coming if only for defence purposes (batteries).

Fascinating survey data on the missing Biden voters by Lake Research. The voters who sat out in '24 weren't looking for a centrist or turned off by trans rights. They want a genuine economic populist agenda: take on corporate greed, lower costs, and make the wealthy pay their fair share.

What's at stake if the US does join in Israel's War with Iran?
To put it simply, I may have to consider changing "not" to "and" in this headline. Why? Because like the early 1940s, the links between the various regional wars would finally be connected

German carmakers, whose definition of derisking has been more (not less) China, are now scrambling in real-time to diversify from Chinese rare earth magnets. The lack of strategic vision is breathtaking. A replay of the Russian gas debacle

A couple of points.
The distinction some European economists draw between “mid” and “high-tech” is artificial in reality.
ASML grew out of gold old Philips.

America’s national legislature has the oldest median age compared to dozens of wealthy democracies.
And this graph just includes the House—the median senator is nearly a decade older than that.

In my new op-Ed, I argue that the “male glaze” of media and politics is empirically, normative, and politically wrong and that progressives should focus more on the left turn of young women.

I can’t help but scratch my head at the anti-green, deregulation rhetoric currently circulating in Germany.
Rationalising regulations, like supply chain reporting, makes sense — but halting investments is self-defeating for the West’s key clean tech hub.
