NEW ANALYSIS: Right-leaning UK newspaper editorials have relentlessly attacked energy secretary Ed Miliband since last year's election, calling him "hysterical", a "madman" & "demented" The papers have also published a record number of editorials opposing climate action… 1/2

My work on Big Tech's role in the energy transition got second place in the Social Sciences section of the Deutscher Studienpreis! I'm grateful that as a non native speaker Germany still offers such opportunities - and excited to keep working on this and more energy politics topics 🔌💡

EU to demand technology transfers from Chinese companies
New requirements will apply to batteries but could be expanded to other green sectors

Yes, the duck curve is getting deeper, BUT look at 2023 above 2022. Why is that? More demand-supply coordination through demand flexibility. That's the future, and will be broadened and deepened through combo of more meaningful price signals + automation. 🔌💡 EnergySky www.eia.gov/todayinenerg...
