Remarkable & important. Europe reduced natural gas imports by €9.7 billion with heat pumps. Important value creation: (1) Keep money at home by reducing sending money away; (2) In situ value creation with local energy generation (RE) & (3) Increased resilience w/ increased energy diversity.

Remarkable! Solar and wind generation meet record 80% of power demand on Australia’s national grid. Rooftop solar alone generates more than half of all power used, as clear sunny days and low demand drive record-breaking surge. Consumers can access 3 hours free electricity per day. bit.ly/4hfUEgD

The United States economy remains relatively sturdy, albeit rate tightening on the part of the Federal Reserve & changing consumer circumstance indicates the start of expanding underlying economic weaknesses. Reducing inflation requires demand destruction. Remember Paul Volker?

"Low-emission zones," where car traffic is restricted, save lives -- especially the lives of children. The empirical evidence is unambiguous. But every attempt to create a new one is met by hysterical opposition filled with lies, because our societies are collectively poisoned by car-brain.

London’s low emission zone is working – so why are cities around the world so cautious about clean air?
Similar initiatives have been launched from Barcelona to Bogotá, but they have misinformation, political pressure and vested interests stacked against them

2nd qtr growth slowed as consumers, inflation, & policy shaped the outlook. Real GDP expanded at a 1.5% annual rate in the 2nd qtr, down from 2.1% in the 1st qtr & below forecasts (~1.8%–2.1%). Reduced gov spending, weaker inventory accumulation, & widening trade deficit restrained growth.
