Wenn Katherina Reiche einen Geheim-Gipfel ihres Lebensgefährten zu Guttenberg besucht, um mit Ministern, Royals, Milliardären Pläne zu schmieden, ist das nicht privat. Beteiligte schweigen. Das Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Energie mauert. Die Bevölkerung hat ein Recht auf Transparenz. spiegel.de/politik/deutsc…

Electrification could now reach 75% of all energy demand, as the road-transport and heating sectors rapidly electrify 🔥🚗 These two sectors account for 50% of global energy use and are now ready to switch from fossil molecules to clean electrons. ember-energy.org/latest-insight…

Wood Mackenzie confirms new natural gas generation is expensive! $126/MWh in 2030! New solar plus batteries are less than half the cost of new gas! New nuclear ($139/MWh) also is getting close to being cheaper than new gas! Gas too is dirty, biggest CO2 electricity polluter.

"The old weltmeister has been dethroned" and is now rapidly deindustrialising at the hands of China. The FT piece is indeed terrific, as is this thread. I hope that every German economic and financial ministry official read both - and ideally yesterday. It's 5 past 12.

Die Erhöhung der Mütterente und der Pendlerpauschale sowie die Gastro-Förderung kosten viel und bringen uns kein Wachstum. Das passt nicht, wenn gleichzeitig hohe Schulden für sehr wichtige Kernaufgaben wie Verteidigung und Infrastruktur aufgenommen werden.

Tipp: „Die Familienunternehmer“, das ist kein „Wirtschaftsverband“. Es ist eine Lobbyorganisation für Milliardäre und Multimillionäre mit einem Weltbild aus den Neunzigern. Deshalb überrascht es auch nicht, dass dieser Club jetzt mit der AfD redet.

Zurück aus China, staune ich. Die Regierung taumelt wegen der RENTE; es gibt Träume von einer Minderheitsregierung. Dabei werden wir von den USA verlassen, von Russland attackiert, von China erpresst. Kein Thema: europäische Souveränität, KI, EVs, Digitalisierung. Irre.

2/ With the 28-point plan to end the war in Ukraine, Trump’s United States can no longer be considered an ally of Europe, which is not even consulted on matters affecting its own security. Europe must acknowledge this shift in U.S. policy and respond accordingly.

Hard to overstate the crisis engulfing the German economy - investment & goods exports in free fall, private consumption stagnant (despite higher population), only the size of government is growing. Energy prices, US tariffs, China shock 2.0 - Germany needs a new growth model.
