"The #Trump team, taking its cue from the #president, is trying to pursue two #ContradictoryVisions at the same time — to maintain #America’s status as the world’s leading power while also trying to scale down its international commitments. They want to simultaneously #dominate the #world and #withdraw from it."

Or, put differently, Trump is #Stalin and everybody around him is trying to guess what he wants.

#Solar #energy is the
⭐️ most widely available energy resource on Earth,
and its economic attractiveness is improving fast in a cycle of #increasing #investments.

Here we use data-driven conditional technology and economic forecasting modelling to establish which zero carbon power sources could become dominant worldwide.

We find that, due to technological trajectories set in motion by past policy,
a global #irreversible solar #tipping #point may have passed where solar energy gradually comes to #dominate global #electricity #markets,
without any further climate policies.

🆘Uncertainties arise, however, over #grid #stability in a renewables-dominated power system,
the availability of #sufficient #finance in underdeveloped economies,
the capacity of #supply #chains and #political #resistance from regions that lose employment.

❇️Policies resolving these barriers may be more effective than price instruments to accelerate the transition to clean energy

His time in the #Senate had left Romney worried—not just about the #decomposition of his own political party, but about the fate of the #American project itself.

…“A man gets some people around him and begins to #oppress & #dominate others,” he said…. “It’s a testosterone-related phenomenon, perhaps. I don’t know. But in the history of the world, that’s what happens.” America’s experiment in self-rule “is fighting against human nature.”
