i.e. the lowest cost technology of identitical commodities win out in competition, but renewable electricity has higher costs than initially assumed and the commodity they produce is different, because it is intermittent.

I do feel like a large part of Christophers argument rests on the fact that:
1) Costs for renewables are significantly larger than LCOE because of transportation and land costs
2) Renewables produce electricity when the price is lowest

Which doesnt seem incompatible with Marx idea of competition.

Finally, a flag worth fighting for.

If I was advising the EU—and I 100% should be—my advice is that you prepare three sets of sanction packages:
1. Deliberate targeting of personal/corporate assets of Trump, Musk, Andressen, Sacks, etc like they’re Russian oligarchs by doing stuff like seizing Gigafactory Berlin. This gets used first.

Colombian President Petro commenting on the US;

“A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy. To keep Epstein's list from coming out, they send warships to kill fishermen & threaten our neighbor with invasion for their oil."

If Xi Jinping invaded Taiwan right now, and toppled the president there, on what grounds would the United States object? Or have any credibility to say anything?

Det här gör min förbannad rent ut sagt. Regeringen har förhalat sitt stöd, aktivt skapat osäkerhet om projektet och detta är slutstationen. Sverigedemokratiskt kulturkrig och borgerlig ängslighet kan göra att världens första gröna stålverk utanför Kina kan går om intet.

Better to follow Draghi's logic - things Europe won't do (solar, low value-added manufacturing), can do (EVs, R&D in hard to abate sectors) and must do (wind, batteries, pharma and biotech).

For Jacobin, I sat with @michaelpettis.bsky.social for a long conversation about the global trading system. We talked about his influential framework for understanding imbalances, hashed out some of our disagreements, discussed the role of finance and remedies.

The difficult truth is that a radical programme probably needs to be conservatively financed.

Some on the left appear to confuse radical proposals for financing mechanisms with proposals for a policy programme itself.

I made a mod that replaces cliffracers with Thomas the Tank Engine. I am incapable of learning lessons whenever it involves corporations, because I fundamentally do not view toy company CEOs or media CEOs as people.

‘As with climate change, the focus on consumers deflects scrutiny that should be directed towards industry. Not only do companies help establish false representations of consumer wastefulness, they are themselves waste creators on a gigantic scale.’

The Nordics Have Low Inequality Mostly Because of Welfare The Nordic countries have far less economic inequality than the United States. Most of the difference is due to the Nordics’ welfare states.

Instead, 461 people—including New Yorkers—have been detained by the Israeli military.

They must be freed at once. And the deliberate starvation of Palestinians must end now.
