My main takeaway from the Intersolar / the smarter E Europe exhibition in Munich is that batteries are the new solar. 4 buzzing halls of products, trying to claim a differentiation that doesn't exist, in a rapidly growing market. 14GW of batteries built in Europe + Turkey last year.

The suspension of U.S. assistance for Ukraine is a very unfortunate and significant development, but it may not have immediate impact. Ukraine is far less dependent on the U.S. for day to day battlefield needs in 2025, than it was in earlier periods of the war. 1/

Energy Transition in Europe is this underapperciated background thing, that keeps just trending only one direction, by any metric, even the most conservative, if you take into account current costs, learning curve cost declines and deployment, the Europe of 2030-35 is strategically very different

Found the contrast interesting. If you lurk too on the crypto friendly parts of the interwebs, its becoming less and less positive, and more that this is the ultimate rug pull. There is vibe shift building even in Trump friendly spaces, see the econ numbers beginning to hit end of this month too.

The maintenance *is* the resilience! The technician is as much the system as the wires or the motors. Technology is activity, not artifact.
Folks think things are resilient, but really they're fragile, but had constant maintenance and inspection, so they never noticed.
The Bay Area weather radar (KMUX) has been out of service for more than 24 hours now. An expensive broken part needs to be replaced and specially ordered, but that may not be possible due to ongoing freeze on government credit card spending, I’ve been told.
