Unsere Tagung zu 'Kapitalistische Dynamiken' in Basel hat jetzt ein Programm: die Beiträge reichen von der Kommodifizierung des Monsoonrisikos, Gewalt als Operationsmodus des Kapitalismus, zur Militarisierung des Investitionsregimes in den USA. Kommt vorbei – eine Anmeldung ist nicht nötig!

thanks! i mean economic concentration, i.e. how many companies control how much of globally traded energy commodities, either in terms of energy (this is what lenin calculates for germany) or in terms of value.

possibly! but when one reads @brettchristophers.bsky.social work on asset managers and renewable investment, especially in large-scale renewables, the answer (and tendency) is not so clear...

somebody should write this up as an ERC project!

i thought of the carbon majors project as well! i guess it would be the data from which to calculate the concentration, possibly along the HHI (as mentioned by @ivanboldyrev.bsky.social)

i know the digital hive mind is broken, but i don't know where to go with this: in the early twentieth century, lenin and others calculated the level of 'energetic concentration' (my word), i.e. a ratio of how many companies controlled how much of energy production. has this ever been tried again?

instead of building new rotating mass to absorb voltage spikes, couldn't we repurpose old power plants? more importantly, under the current market design, there is no incentive to invest in this.

"In 2009 the control room was a calm and quiet place to work. Now alarms go off frequently when voltage surges and the grid becomes overloaded... extreme measures like controlled blackouts might soon be needed" Great bloomberg report on solar's challenge to the grid: archive.is/O4Tv7#select...
