European policymakers in 2022: "We can't phaseout combustion engine vehicles! We are green but someone has to produce polluting cars for the backward Chinese!" In 2026: "Please put some tariffs on those Chinese EVs, they are selling too many in Europe!"

This is so tragic. In 2022, Italian environment minister Cingolani was arguing that we shouldn't go too fast on EVs because the Chinese will continue to buy combustion engine vehicles www.quattroruote.it/news/industr... In 2026, China has 50%+ BEV sales - the EU lags at 20%-27%

The Senate's permitting bill text is up. It's way too big/complex for anyone who didn't have early access to digest today, so beware hot takes, but this bit (p. 54 line 9) is funny: If an agency misses a deadline, the agency head can't travel >25 miles from their desk til the agency submits the doc.

My take on the Andy Burnham speech is that my 14yo daughter saw a bit of it on TikTok & then asked to watch the whole thing with me. She told me afterward that the hopefulness of it almost feels miraculous to her because her whole life the people in charge have been purposely making everything worse

My favourite chart from the @IEA special report on electrification. Electricity is only 23% of Final Energy (No big deal), but it's 37% of Useful Energy (What?) and delivers 46% of GDP (Wow!) And it's going clean, fast. Still think there's no transition? iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/1c696...

What is parking for?
Slide with text: heading - What is parking for? 

Car parking helps accessibility to an area 
But only by car: which is spatially and economically very inefficient

Instead aim for multi-modal accessibility
This sometimes means reducing parking

Images: 1 a shopping centre in Auckland surrounded by surface parking. 
2. the centre of Shibuya in Tokyo showing an elevated Yamanote Line train and numerous people crossing the street.

EVs are awesome. I have a Hyundai Ioniq 5, which has a range of 300-350 miles. I charge it at home, which is convenient, and it costs me about $10 to completely recharge the battery. (84 kWh at 12 cents a kWh) Compare that to a similar size gas car, at 25-30 mpg, which would cost $54 to fill up.
