@desempleado666 It is in his new book: EUROPEAN FOREIGN POLICY IN TIMES OF COVID-19

@LindaZeilina @OddLots1 Aww … thank you! Much appreciated.

The March 2020 crisis … Covid you think? No … as seen from vantage point of Josep Borrells EU High Representative (i.e. foreign minister) March 2020 was the near collapse of EU-Turkey refugee deal. From his 18 Dec 2020 speech. Important backdrop to Brussels inaction Feb-March. https://t.co/ORmXJnCM0d

@TarikCyrilAmar You know we agree on that. Nevertheless, from EU’s Foreign Minister I find it rather striking.

"Nobody has an interest in converting Belarus into another Ukraine … The demonstrators contesting the election result are not waving European flags but rather the former flag of their country.” Josep Borrells. 30 Aug 2020 https://t.co/od7OSnumB8

Problem with renewables is intermittency. Really? "In theory, solar power from daylight in one part of world could light up night-time in another.” All you need: a global grid! e.g. Xi’s Global Energy Interconnection. Or, more local batteries! ft.com/content/eb7d65… https://t.co/Gzk4lgfBfh

"In Australia, the government has backed the A$22bn ($16bn) Sun Cable project, a 3,700km line that will feed solar-powered electricity to Singapore and eventually reach from India to New Zealand.” @meyer_g6 Global renewable power is going to be wild! ft.com/content/eb7d65… https://t.co/GoVBafwI8r

US energy workers are highly skilled and earn comfortably above the median. Energy efficiency is the least well paid but offers HUGE room for expansion. ft.com/content/6d5ae9… https://t.co/s2wJcXuId4

Is climate a free-riding/international collective action problem or a domestic distributive-conflict problem? This @yayitsrob piece is great. Clearly it is both and rubber hits the road in EU-US carbon border adjustment tussle. theatlantic.com/science/archiv… https://t.co/tmcaC2DLG2

Order 2222 by the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Ferc) will allow owners of household solar systems, EV batteries and other small energy resources to sell their excess energy to the wholesale power grid -> competition with traditional generators. ft.com/content/eb7d65… https://t.co/l3fsKqdzW9

"US offshore wind projects test strength of Joe Biden’s green jobs promise Developments will be affected by state labour rules, lack of local parts and old shipping law” this is really interesting by @meyer_g6 on different state strategies. ft.com/content/6d5ae9… https://t.co/qHPQywRyRT

"some pet-related stocks have beaten the performance of the US technology-focused Nasdaq Composite index over the past year. One pets-focused exchange-traded fund with the ticker ‘PAWZ’ has gained 76 per cent.” ft.com/content/437d32… https://t.co/0eDSMAbQz0

Europe’s lead in offshore wind is dramatic and creates difficulties when squaring Biden’s green energy agenda with his "Made in America" jobs agenda. You want wind turbines you buy them in France and Orsted, Equinor and Iberdrola build the wind farm. ft.com/content/6d5ae9… https://t.co/qlLyUul0fe

"During the pandemic, cheese consumption in the US remained steady.

Texas is America’s leader in wind and solar power. By a HUGE margin. Now GOP/fossil lobby is using power crisis as way of penalizing renewables. Wall Street & Big Tech pushing back.

The industrial revolution may have originated in Europe, but it was America’s outsized post-1860s surge in industrial production that gave “the West” its near total global dominance by 1900. 1913-1953 = further US growth at expense of Europe not ROW.
