1/12 Thread. In new report @CFR_org - a policy strategy to reposition US auto industry to respond to China’s export boom. Temporary protection kept indefinitely will forego benefits for US consumers & cede ROW to China. #Compete #DontRetreat cfr.org/report/compete…

In 2009, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency formally concluded that climate change caused by the buildup of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere endangers public health and welfare. Based on scientific evidence and research, the agency identified 6 greenhouse gases as the main culprits and established the legal basis to regulate them under the Clean Air Act. The Trump administration formally rescinded that determination this week. CFR experts @vsiv, @Alice_C_Hill, and @ProfDavidHart discuss the potential consequences of the rollback: cfr.org/articles/paths…

As EPA moves toward rolling back GHG endangerment finding, check out our takes @CFR_org @vsiv @Alice_C_Hill cfr.org/articles/paths…

So sayeth @USGAO : @ENERGY created OCED to manage $27 billion [w/bipartisan Cong auth] OCED committed $18 billion to 100 projects. Significant decrease in workforce reduced OCED capacity. DOE needs a plan to oversee funds [and spend the rest wisely]. gao.gov/products/gao-2…

Auto trade and investment policy in Canada and Mexico may be diverging from that of the United States, creating serious challenges for the integrated North American industry, argue expert @ProfDavidHart and Mia Beams. cfr.org/articles/what-…

New @CFR_org with Mia Beams: future of the North American auto industry. Will Chinese EV imports to Canada and Mexico cause further fractures? Many cards yet to be played - a game worth watching. cfr.org/articles/what-…

@JavierBlas Given Stellantis's lagging EV strategy, how is it that it lost the most among the Detroit 3?

After Ford and General Motors announced large writedowns linked to their EV strategy, today Stellantis has announced it will take ~€22 billion ($26 billion) in impairments as it scales back its EV plans. With a brutal admission by the CEO ⬇️

Per @CFR_org This may be one of the last Winter Olympics to take place in February, as rising global temperatures increasingly melt ice and snow earlier. Organizers are considering moving future editions to January instead

Pleased to share latest spinoff from @CFR_org Global Energy Innovation Index team. @MiaBeams focuses on a US strength: energy entrepreneurship. But, as she notes, "the pipeline is narrowing." cfr.org/articles/u-s-c…

Akkshath connects the dots, linking pubs to industries. Chinese authors are strongest in publications that correspond with industries Beijing targeted for global leadership: photovoltaics, lithium-ion batteries, and electric vehicles (EVs). All the deets: cfr.org/articles/wake-…

NEW! Drawing on @CFR_org Global Energy Innovation Index (GEII), super-intern Akkshath Subrahmanian shows China surging past US on many indicators. For instance, China publishes 45% of all highly-cited publications in fields linked to energy innovation

.@CFR_org Global Energy Innovation Index measures national contributions. Such contributions require goals to drive them. In a deeper dive @colin_cunliff shows what goals countries have adopted & how collectively, the world is falling short cfr.org/articles/natio…

Pleased to share video from an excellent 1/13 discussion on #energy #innovation @CFR_org w @CRESenergy @USCleanPower @antoraenergy & me cfr.org/event/accelera…

This is truly remarkable. Herb Stein's law is "if something can't go up forever, it will stop" but I'm not sure we're close to that point yet because there's room for everyone else's production to go down.

NEW @CFR_org Something a little strange is happening...though it shouldn't be. Next up: a little oversight? cfr.org/article/federa…

New @CFR_org short version of my recent report on US auto policy: "Compete, Don't Retreat" Protection is necessary now but shouldn't last forever. If we wait too long, we could be shut out of the world's largest manfg sector. @jonasnahm @electricfelix cfr.org/expert-brief/s…

Each year @CFR_org asks fellows to visualize key global trends. My pick this year: "the rise of the electrostate" (aka China). cfr.org/article/visual…

Excellent piece from @TheBTI - electrostate & green are not synonymous

.@jonasnahm: "China has achieved first-mover advantage in autonomous, connected, electric (ACE) vehicles. The US response has been tariffs and market isolation. A new CFR paper by @ProfDavidHart argues this is a trap—we need to compete, not retreat" 🧵 #chapter-title-0-7" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">cfr.org/report/compete…
