@BrentToderian Judging from the article, in the US where EVs are more likely to be SUVs and therefore heavier, we should assume that accidents with pedestrians (and bicyclists) are more likely and more likely to cause great harm to the later?

“Electric cars are no more dangerous for pedestrians than petrol & diesel models, researchers find.” They’re also no safer. Which reminds us that “better cars” aren’t the main answer to the consequences of cars. Fewer cars driven less in better cities. leeds.ac.uk/research-32/ne…

@CRISPRKING @janrosenow The analysis is correct, but why bet on yesterday's solar technology when you can buy tomorrow's battery innovators?

@janrosenow $182/MWh SMR vs $60/MWh wind+storage = AI datacenters go solar+batteries, not nuclear. $ENPH/$FSLR win, $SMR/$BWXT lose.

The US is making a $9B bet on small modular reactors (SMRs) to power AI data centers and cut emissions. Will the economics work? Highlights: - $6B+ US govt support since 2019, $3B+ private capital - Past SMR efforts: delays + big overruns (NuScale canceled after +120% costs; operating SMRs abroad ran 3–4x over budget) - Cost gap: independents peg ~$182/MWh by 2030 vs. ~$133/MWh for big nuclear, ~$126/MWh gas; wind/solar+storage ~1/3 cheaper than SMRs - Fuel pinch: many SMRs need HALEU; supply dominated by Russia; limited US capacity - Momentum: 32+ GW in deals since 2023 (many nonbinding)

The only good thing here is that Trump is laying out a blueprint for the next administration on how to eliminate entirely oil, fossil gas, and coal extraction and use in the U.S. Trump halts work on nearly complete New England offshore wind project abcnews.go.com/Business/wireS…

It's sort of fun that aviation is generally seen an industry where customer service is important, and that America is the nation of customer service, but American aviation is a sort of bad bank where the country hides its most surly and disagreeable people

@TipsWatch Vanguard also - with absolutely no notice - has disabled ADR trading and further limited after hours trading. It is a difficult place for a self-directed investor.

After just a few days, Vanguard backs off on raising its bond-trading minimum to $10,000. Bad idea, good move to reverse it. tipswatch.com/2025/08/24/van…

@GreatLakesPeck What about their weight? I just drove a Polestar. Very reasonable with the current incentives, but it weighs 7,000 pounds. As a bicyclist and someone who thinks kids should be able to cross the road safely, not sure we should have such weight on the road.

The entire world is going, or will soon go, thru this transition away from gas-powered cars to EVs. Why? Because EVs are cheaper over their lifespan, & also eliminate oil/gas imports in many countries. This is a reason why American companies need to be all in w/ EVs
Assaad Razzouk@AssaadRazzouk

In Nepal, EVs accounted for 76% of all new passenger vehicles and 50% of the light commercial vehicles over the past year 5 years ago, that number was zero: EVs take over slowly, then suddenly nytimes.com/2025/07/28/bus…

Good Morning from #Germany, where Siemens Energy has emerged as one of the standout stocks in the global AI race. In this new "war," the ammunition isn't data alone – it's energy molecules as well. And to win, you need to build power–literally. As a result, energy stocks are being completely revalued, including in Europe. Since hitting its low in Oct 2023, Siemens Energy has soared an incredible 1,357%—outpacing even Nvidia. The company is now valued at <€80bn.

HISTORIC NUCLEAR RESTART MILESTONE For the first time ever in the U.S., the NRC has approved a license transfer for a shut down nuclear plant—Palisades—to move from decommissioning back to operating! The plant aims to be restarted by the end of 2025, bringing 800 MWs of clean power back on the grid. Before shutdown, the plant was responsible for 5% of the state's electricity and 15% of its clean electricity! This is bold climate action.

Encounters on the Southwest US border fell to their lowest level EVER in Jun. '25. No matter how you feel about immigration, this shows that border enforcement is totally possible. A big part of that is using the threat of tariffs with Mexico so that it polices its own borders...

@JohnDelaney The answer is that we cannot (or any sort of superpower). Over the next 3 1/2 years, our continued support of oil, gas, coal and nuclear will push us at least 20 years behind China and 5 behind Europe.

Wave the flag fail. Fracking was invented in the USA. The USA produces more oil & gas than anyone else. The USA produces more nuclear power than anyone else. Competitive advantages matter. This "last century solution" trope is tired and ridiculous. We need it ALL.

@Schuldensuehner There will be some bright spots here for Germany. Siemens Energy, for example, will be one of the biggest company in Europe in 12-18 months and stands to benefit vs. it largest competitors by building large power transformers in the US.

Good Morning from #Germany – the country that stands to lose the most from a potential 30% US import tariff on European goods. Over the past 12mths, Germany recorded a trade surplus of €68.8bn w/the US, though that surplus has already started to decline slightly.

@ClarkHoward Following you for about 40 years and this is the worst advice you've given. There are still online banks competing for your money with no fewer than 24 banks offering at least 50 bps higher than what you are pushing here. bestcashcow.com/savings-accoun…

No Penalty CD rates have fallen since the first Fed rate cut, but they can still be useful as the following thread explains. Marcus just increased its NP CD APYs: 7mo: 4.00% → 4.15% & 13mo: 3.90% → 4.00%. Those are 50 & 35 bps above Marcus’s HYSA APY. x.com/kentumin/statu…
Ken Tumin@KenTumin

Today’s savings account rate cut at Marcus (3.75% → 3.65% APY) shows the value of No Penalty (NP) CDs. If you have a savings account at Marcus, an NP CD can be an easy way to boost your cash yield without losing liquidity (that would happen with standard CDs). a thread🧵 1/6

@dougsheridan @JesseJenkins Removing subsidies is effectively accessing a tax. Both are designed to impact policy, and policy should be to increase wind and solar for as long as it takes to catch up with rest of world in its effort to address the global climate catastrophe (and to keep the US competitive).

In the first third of 2025, US grids added: 9.5 GW of solar PV 2.2 GW of wind power 0.5 GW of gas turbines electrek.co/2025/07/07/fer… The GOP just raised taxes on the resources making up 96% of capacity additions to the US electricity supply.* * These stats are missing battery capacity additions, which are also significant.

@JohnDelaney The world is on fire and the rest of it is moving to wind and solar as fast as it can. We may not need a top down series of government mandates, but promoting coal and nuclear seizes private investment and is an abandonment of every rational principle we have as global citizens.
