Norgespris kan gi solcelleeiere en skjult fordel Norgespris er ikke uten utfordringer, men husholdninger med solceller kan få både stabil strømpris, høyere inntekt på overskuddsstrøm – og kanskje lavere rente.

Kanskje dette kan bli ganske bra neste sommer?

Again and again I hear on social media and read in newspapers that gas replaced coal in the UK.

That's simply not the case.

In 2024:

📉 43% less electricity generation was from gas than in 2000. 📈 Wind + solar increased more than 100x
🚫 Coal is now zero

Poland does it again. More solar and less coal og gas.

Heat pump sales declined significantly last year in most European countries.

Without policy reform Europe will not be able to deliver 60m heat pumps by 2030 - the ambition of RepowerEU.

We know which policies work - see our heat pump policy toolkit here: www.raponline.org/toolkit/heat...

Residential solar: Down, not out Declines in residential solar markets have been a hit to the industry—but its foundation is strong.

Time to bounce back! www.mckinsey.com/industries/e...

Aasland jakter på kortere ledetider via «hemmelig» arbeidsgruppe (+) Energidepartementet vil ikke gi innsyn i arbeidet for å kutte utbyggingstakten.

Trenger ikke hemmelig arbeidsgruppe. Bygg solceller.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

Why would we abandon the prosperous, democratic nations of Europe, our allies for one hundred years, to "partner" with weak, poor Russia, a longtime adversary and dictatorship currently in the middle of an unprovoked invasion of a neighboring state?

Treason. It's treason

«Nærmere kommer du ikke forsøk på usmakelig utpressing» skriver @dagensnaeringsliv.bsky.social.
For det første er det utpressing, ikke FORSØK når USA krever 500 milliarder og 50% grunnrente av Ukraina.
For det andre er vel all utpressing usmakelig? Har aldri hørt om «classy utpressing».

Beyond Supply: Why Decarbonising Energy Demand is Crucial When we talk about the energy transition, the conversation almost always zeroes in on how to decarbonise energy supply. We’re quick to…

“Shifting the focus to demand leads to a richer, more comprehensive discussion. It forces us to think about not just what kind of energy we use, but how much we use, how efficiently we use it, and critically, when and where we use it.”

With faltering American security guarantees we need a strong European backstop in Poland. A peace deal for Ukraine will likely entail too few troops to credibly defend the territory. But having a serious, European force in Poland will be a deterrent and a multi-purpose guarantee.

The end of an era.

Time for Serious It’s been the season for solemn gatherings of business leaders. Geopolitics, security, and energy—oh dear, these are serious times indeed.

Time to get serious about tech, energy and security.

More volume, lower costs - that's the story of wind and solar.

With each doubling of the installed cumulative capacity costs fall:

solar: 20% reduction
wind: 15% reduction

What are the best accounts to follow in electric aviation?

11/ Wouldn’t it be quite a lot more enjoyable with a French-built AI you could tweak to be any combination of liberal, adulterous, pertinent, intellectual, inquisitive and democratic you would want? More Emanuelle than Sidney, more Jean-Claude than Claude, more The Little Prince than Emperor Xi.

10/ If these platforms are going to be our agents and companions, do we really want their settings to be controlled by the prudish double standards of the Americans or the oppressive, controlling regime in China?

9/ European AI bots would just be more enjoyable

I know the saying goes “USA innovates, China copies and Europe regulates”, but also Americans can’t see nipples, and Chinese can’t be allowed know about rebellion at Tiananmen Square.

8/ The cards are getting dealt anew. Who ho knows how AI will start nibbling at the Magnificent Seven’s powerful positions. Do you think there could be opportunity for Spotify in distributing AI-made films for example, a new atrack angle towards Netflix? I think yes.

7/ AI deals a new the deck

Do you think the alarm bell went off at Alphabet when OpenAI launched search? Do you think Meta sees a threat from AI companion bots? Do Tesla’s self driving capabilities seem as insurmountable a competitive advantage today as five years ago?

6/ This obstructs company growth and impedes the adoption of successful services across the continent, but the negative effect can soon be a thing of the past.

5/ AI will successfully address Europe’s worst barrier to growth
Because artificial intelligence is excellent at removing language barriers. Europe has by far the most linguistic diversity of any of the large trading blocs, with 10x as many languages per inhabitant as the US and 5x as many as China

4/ Europe’s much lamented old guard of companies are fixer uppers that will benefit from this boost. AI currently excels at mid complexity tasks, of which financial services, health tech and mid manufacturing is full.

3/ AI will disproportionately favour European companies

Artificial intelligence in its current form has more in common with mainframes than the internet in that it’s a tech that boosts efficiency and productivity, benefiting incumbents with large workforces.

2/ The AI race isn’t lost
The conclusion in 2024 was that the US had such a head start and towering investments that their lead in AI made them inevitable winners. How much more fragile does that lead looks now, as we are shocked by AI that is both performant and cheap.
