Støre’s AP up ~13 pp in a week after decision to implement (relatively minor) EU energy directives, leading to SP exit from government – and Jens Stoltenberg’s comeback as finance minister. EU-NO relations remain political dynamite in EU’s biggest energy import partner

Meanwhile, the AP gov proclaims no new interconnectors until 2029, fixed power prices to households, and a possible opening for nuclear. They can count on some to large support from other parties, including now a majority for assessing nuclear in Norway (H, SP, KrF).

If Energy policy (or rather, electricity) comes back as a political priority for the election in September, we will likely see less of the export-friendly, pro-market and renewables-only Norway that has in many ways inspired EU power market reforms over the last decades.

Äntligen! #Språkrådet rekommenderar nu att använda ordet #fossilgas och inte det vilseledande #naturgas. Det är ett fossilt bränsle och bör både betecknas och behandlas som ett sådant. isof.se/vart-uppdrag/samarbe… Tagga gärna medier, myndigheter och företag som behöver uppdatera sig.

Europe’s gas benchmark averaged a record $50/mmbtu in July – almost 10 times its pre-war average – as Russia cut supplies Worth noting that $50/mmbtu is also the estimated production cost of synthetic methane, i.e. electricity converted to low emission hydrogen & then to methane

Well fellow beings on planet Earth, we finally f**king made it. A daily reading of CO₂ above 422 ppm in the year 2022 at Mauna Loa in the month of April (4/'22) -- the first such reading in, I don't know, let's say 4.22 million years. This is not going to end well. Sláinte.

Today is overshoot day for Sweden. If everyone lived like we do, the world would have already used up its annual resources today. For the rest of the year we aren't just stealing the resources from future generations, but also from the present most affected people and areas.

1/14 Whether Russians actually support the hideous war that Putin has waged against Ukraine is a matter of utmost political importance. The answer to this question will largely define Russia’s place in the history of the 21st century.

We can all agree that a language: - used heavily in diplomacy - culturally relevant for Europe - widely spoken for a long time deserves to be used in the EU. That's why DG MEME proposes #Latin to supersede Regulation No 1. In varietate concordia!

Economy after the financial crisis: Nominal wage growth terrible (due to slack labor markets), but inflation down even more so real wages up. Economy now: Nominal wage growth great (due to tight labor markets), but inflation up even more so real wages down.
