US-EU steel/aluminium deal looks like a productive step towards defusing trade tension and developing carbon-accounting methodologies.

GOOD NEWS on EU-US steel/aluminimum "The agreement ultimately to negotiate a carbon-based arrangement on steel and aluminum trade addresses both Chinese overproduction and carbon intensity in the steel and aluminum sector," White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan twitter.com/toddntucker/st…
Earlier today I tweeted pessimistically about EU-US steel/aluminimum deal. I was wrong. As @toddntucker who has been campaigning on this, points out, it is actually a step very much in right direction. Kudos Todd and mea culpa! twitter.com/toddntucker/st…
"To what extent markets can be designed to drive the energy transition remains an open question. But it seems a fair bet that a more centrally planned approach will often be necessary.” @TheEconomist grudgingly agreeing with @maxkrahe 🙂 economist.com/special-report… https://t.co/F9DrKoi0Eb
@CarloJaeger @heimbergecon TBH my main beef with @faznet is just how capricious and opaque the firewall is. One of most infuriatingly difficult newspapers to subscribe to online I have come across.
