Very interesting project by @bruegel.org here. Remarkable differences still in market value across Europe.
We launched our @bruegel.org EU Renewables Value Tracker based on great work by @mariejuge.bsky.social & @aroth.bsky.social:
www.bruegel.org/dataset/eu-renewables-value-track
Five insights 🧵:
1) The value of additional solar plants in south-east Europe and particularly Italy is still very high.

In nur 5 Jahren hat China den Automobilmarkt übernommen und ist uns parallel beim E-Auto davon gerast.
Dass Kanzler Merz allen ernstes davon spricht, dass wir 2035 noch "hocheffiziente Verbrenner" verkaufen, macht es noch verrückter.

"That leads to Europe’s last and perhaps the greatest task. Awake to the threat, its leaders need to persuade their voters that change is coming one way or another. Either Europe grabs hold of its own destiny or China and America will force crushing change upon it."

To avoid crushing change, Europe must take control of its destiny
If it does not, China will exploit the continent’s weaknesses

I am not a lawyer, just a historian, but one fundamental problem with the political debate about the EU, especially in English publications is that the whole principle of the acquis communnitaire is not understood or taken seriously. The EU is a framework of rules, not an alliance.

Sometimes I think the real "peace dividend" since the end of the cold war was that a whole generation of analysts grew up underestimating the power of ideology, memory and emotion, and now they cannot recognize a huge cultural shift when it is staring them in the face.

One of the best ways to cripple Russia’s ambitions longterm would be to moonshot renewables development then spread the tech everywhere super-cheap. Russia produces nothing of significance beyond oil and gas. The economy would tank. Plus a huge win in the fight against the climate crisis.

@lewisbaston.bsky.social just came across the passage in Borderlines (awesome book!) introduction, that German would not have a word for crime, rooted in the „transgression“ sense of overstepping a line. „Gesetzesübertretung“ and „Regelüberschreitung“ very much have that root, though.

One consequence of being half addicted to The Rest is History is to gain the habit of thinking "poor form" is the most damning historical verdict on a person. A future episode will conclude that the President's assault on the global trading system is very poor form.
