As always, @NatBullard 's annual deck on decarbonization is a trove of insights. Maybe missing one slide on the fertility crisis. The impact could be much bigger than Ozempic. x.com/NatBullard/status/1884…

My annual decarbonization presentation is here. 200 slides, covering everything from water levels in Lake Gatún to sulfur dioxide emissions to ESG fund flows to Chinese auto exports to artificial intelligence. Link in reply

Les tickets restaurant c’est 10 milliards par an d’émissions et environ 4% de commission. Donc environ 400 millions de frais qui ne répondent à aucun besoin, ne rendent aucun service. Et bien que ce soit difficilement chiffrable, il serait peu étonnant que les frais de gestions occasionnés pour les restaurateurs/supermarchés et les employeurs soient d’un montant similaire. Sans même compter le coût non-monétaire pour le salarié de gérer ce machin. Au final, il doit y avoir autant de frais qu’il n’y a de profits pour un restaurateur sur le repas, vu que le taux de profitabilité est d’environ 10% dans la restauration. Et à nouveau, le seul intérêt du truc est de naviguer autour d’une disposition fiscale qui donne l’illusion aux salariés du gagner quelque chose. C’est une goutte d’eau dans l’économie française mais c’est tellement symbolique de tout le reste.

A few of my favorite charts from the recent IEA Global EV Outlook 2024 report. This chart shows that EV flows tend to stay within region. For example, EVs sold in China are mostly made in China using mostly Chinese battery cells. Also true for Europe and North America. 1/ 🧵

Avec la TVA réduite sur les carburants, RN invente la taxe carbone négative. Ça commence bien cette campagne!

It's here: my annual presentation on decarbonization. There is a lot going on, and I attempt to capture it in 200 slides. Ocean heat content, deforestation, fund performance, vehicle efficiency, lighting technology, GLP-1 agonists, and much more. nathanielbullard.com/present…

German day ahead prices drop to -500 €/MWh at 2 pm. Yes, minus 500. That's the lowest price in several years, if I recall correctly. If you have a dynamic pricing retail contract, charging your EV will earn you smth like €50. epexspot.com/en/market-data
