We're heading for serious overcapacity in the battery market. Good news for automakers and EV buyers, but challenging times ahead for new entrants to the battery game. More in my latest for @BloombergNEF here: bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

IMPORTANT: Denied entry to #India for speaking on democratic & constitutional values. I was invited to a conference as esteemed delegate by Govt of #Karnataka (Congress-ruled state) but Centre refused me entry. All my documents were valid & current (UK passport & OCI). THREAD 1/n

सूर्यवंशी भगवान श्री राम के आलोक से विश्व के सभी भक्तगण सदैव ऊर्जा प्राप्त करते हैं। आज अयोध्या में प्राण-प्रतिष्ठा के शुभ अवसर पर मेरा ये संकल्प और प्रशस्त हुआ कि भारतवासियों के घर की छत पर उनका अपना सोलर रूफ टॉप सिस्टम हो। अयोध्या से लौटने के बाद मैंने पहला निर्णय लिया है कि हमारी सरकार 1 करोड़ घरों पर रूफटॉप सोलर लगाने के लक्ष्य के साथ “प्रधानमंत्री सूर्योदय योजना” प्रारंभ करेगी। इससे गरीब और मध्यम वर्ग का बिजली बिल तो कम होगा ही, साथ ही भारत ऊर्जा के क्षेत्र में आत्मनिर्भर भी बनेगा।






No one gains when globally and nationally well regarded institutions are targeted and destroyed. We all collectively lose. India loses research capacity. Very sad about this. In solidarity with my home institution.





This would preclude many very talented academics. I first started at £28k and many post-doctoral positions are still no more than £31k. This could encourage universities to raise the academic salaries in response to this, but it is unlikely to happen. What is likely to happen is that universities are going to become even less diverse in thought and practice & miss out on excellent researchers. It is such short-sightedness.
