Heat pumps are winning over Americans. In the first quarter they outsold fossil-fuel furnaces by 32%, the fourth year running that manufacturers have shipped more heat pumps than furnaces. Nearly half of new US homes built in 2024 came with one. (source: Grist)
Electric cars took a quarter of Europe’s new-car market in June - 25.6% across 17 countries, with sales up nearly 40% year on year. Norway is at 96.5%, and EVs outsold everything else in Ireland.
Also, Beijing says it wants electric and hybrid vehicles to make up 30% of the entire national fleet by 2030, and the island province of Hainan just became the first in China to announce it will ban new combustion-car sales.
China’s gas-powered car market is in freefall. In June, 63% of new cars sold had a plug, while pure-gas sales crashed 42% year on year. Fully electric (no combustion engine at all) took 43% of the market.
Trump is the last person on Earth who should be talking about election fraud. After all, there is a recording of him demanding that Georgia “find 11,780 votes” after he lost the 2020 election.
US bombing of Iran has depleted American stockpiles of hard-to-make air-defense interceptors by a half, and reduced highly-expensive missiles by a quarter to a third, based on estimates from the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank.
Leaked US intelligence assessments concluded in May that Iran had regained access to 30 out of 33 missile launch sites along the strait of Hormuz and perhaps 70% of its overall prewar missile stockpile and launchers.
This week, with surprising precision, Donald Trump told Fox News that Iran’s “weapons are down 91%”, but US intelligence reports and the scale of Iranian attacks tell a different story.
By last week, he'd changed his mind. “They’re scum. They’re sick people. They’re led by sick people.” Asked what had changed in just three weeks, Trump said, “I got to know them.” Which of course begs the question of why he didn't know who he was dealing with in the first place.
When Trump sealed the cease-fire agreement last month, he praised Iranian negotiators. “We’re dealing with people that I think are very rational people,” he said then. “They were nice to deal with. They were strong people, smart people.”
Trump's decision to cancel them on Tuesday after calls from anxious Gulf Arab leaders made clear that he had not bothered to consult his allies before announcing the new tolls or disregarded their concerns.
Trump's abrupt flip-flop on tolls underscored how much he is ad libbing. The announcement of a 20% cargo charge to protect shipping in the Strait of Hormuz on Monday contradicted his own administration’s position that tolls were an unacceptable violation of international law.
Data Centers to Add Billions in Power Costs in 13 States A power auction conducted by a giant grid operator is expected to add $6.3 billion in additional charges to consumers and businesses because of electricity needs of data centers. (NY Times)
Nearly a Million Investors Lost a Total of $3.8 Billion on Trump Crypto Coin A report from a cryptocurrency analytics firm details how those who bought the Trump memecoin have fared, with most retail investors having lost money while sophisticated traders did better.
The Trump administration said Wednesday it would not immediately request to renew the North American trade agreement, leaving businesses uncertain about the trade deal’s direction. Creating uncertainty is Trump' stock and trade. But businesses can't operate effectively with it.
Wow! This unearthed video of Trump from 2008 will absolutely make your head spin.
Trump cut a billion-dollar mining deal with Kazakhstan. His sons, and those of commerce secretary Howard Lutnick, stand to profit. The deal provides access to one of the world’s largest untapped reserves of tungsten.
At the beginning of the year, Russia predicted a government deficit of 3.8 trillion rubles. It exceeded that in Q1. Oil and gas revenue is down ~45% year on year as of April.
The Russian economy is now in shambles. When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, its National Wealth Fund was worth almost 7% of GDP. Today, it has liquid assets of just 1.8% of GDP.
Yet, in 2024, 95% of incumbents nationwide were re-elected. That is a massive disconnect.
Americans' approval of Congress currently hovers near historical lows, according to Gallup, with recent polling indicating an approval rating of roughly 10% to 12%, while disapproval reaches as high as 86%. The historical average for congressional approval sits around 30%.
