Americans drive a lot more than people in other rich countries.
If we didn’t drive so much, we wouldn’t die in so many crashes.
It’s a simple point, but one that NHTSA, traffic engineers, and many road safety org’s have yet to learn.

Ok, juga el Barça, però "Iran begins laying mines in Strait of Hormuz, sources say". Suposo que això implica el tancament efectiu de l'estret per un temps indeterminat. Experts en mines marines de bluesky, és la fi del món?

A dia d'avui ja hi hauria d'haver comissions de treball a les agencies fiscals fent propostes i escenaris CONCRETS per gravar IA, Robots i, especialment, beneficis de implementadors i proveidors d'aquestws solucions.

"El exdirector de Rodalies cesado por la crisis opta a dirigir la empresa de autobuses de Renfe (...) el negocio de los autobuses no es desconocido para García que fue gerente de la EMT de Valencia. Bajo su gerencia la EMT sufrió la mayor estafa de la que una empresa pública ha sido víctima" #talent
Si la IA i l'automatització han d'alterar les competències necessàries i ha de posar en risc un part important dels llocs de treball, caldrà un sistema de benestar amb més intensitat protectora, que doni marge a la readaptació i esmorteeixi els xocs de demanda.
"In just a few months, several moves have pulled the EU in the wrong direction: towards entrenching carbon dependence. One was to slow down the phasing out of internal combustion engines (...) Another affects the EU’s incoming carbon tariff", by @martinsandbu.ft.com
I see that the headline has changed since I last opened this article ... (not intended as criticism, just noting the shift in emphasis).

Nuclear power, concluded a report specially commissioned by the Shah, was 'the most economic source of power' that would secure Iran's needs. Based on the twin assumptions that oil prices would only rise and that the costs of building and maintaining nuclear power stations would reduce, developing the nuclear industry seemed an obvious step to take - especially since this prestigious project would show how modernised Iran had become." The Shah took personal charge, instructing Dr Akbar Etemad of the new Atomic Energy Organization of Iran to report to him directly. The first port of call was the Americans. In 1974, an initial agreement was reached by which the US agreed to sell two reactors, as well as enriched uranium, to Iran. The scope of the arrangement was expanded further in 1975, when a $Is billion trade deal was agreed between the two countries, which included provision for Iran to purchase eight reactors from the United States at a fixed price of $6.4 billion.» The following year, President Ford approved a deal that allowed Iran to buy and operate a US-built system that included a reprocessing facility that could extract plutonium from nuclear
Was reading Frankopan last night on the origins of the Iran nuclear programme.
Part of Trump’s mass appeal (and of why he’s so dangerous) is that he really seems to share Joe Barstool’s worldview that there are no complex problems: Everything has a simple brute solution, which previous leaders were somehow too stupid or weak to deploy.
"the focus on oil and gas was “overshadowing” the impact on the fertiliser industry. “If you’re not getting [fertiliser], yields could go down by up to 50 per cent in the first harvest (...) the disruption could prove even more damaging than the food shock triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine"
some keep on telling this story of people not wanting green policies, warning politicians to steer away from climate policies, yet the majority in the heartland of German car production has just voted for a guy that has not backtracked from saying that e-cars are the future

It aligns with deep political currents: the left’s anti-war/anti-militarist stance, a degree of right-wing isolationism, and a broadly shared anti-Americanims. This position puts the nationalist right in contradiction and polarizes the debate around him.

Europe saved hundreds of billions in fossil fuel imports (gas & coal) thanks to the deployment of renewables during the 2022-2023 energy crisis. And on top of that, one must add the destruction in oil demand that EVs are creating!
