🇪🇹 Ethiopia has become the first country in the world to ban the import of internal combustion engine vehicles.

Since January 2024, only electric vehicles have been allowed to be imported.

Who would have thought that an African country would be the first in the world to ban ICE vehicles?

I recall many discussions here on X and other platforms where I was repeatedly told that, due to a lack of infrastructure, capital and political will Africa would be very late if it adopted them at all in using BEVs.

It goes to show, once again, how little people know about Africa and how a continent is judged based on a Western narrative by people who, for the most part, have never even visited it.

Arrogance, Ignorance and lacking knowledge.

IKEA has installed 1M+ solar panels, owns 49 wind farms and 26 solar parks, and now matches 94.8% of its electricity use with renewables.

A furniture retailer has become one of the world's largest corporate renewable energy investors.

The transition is bigger than utilities.

Ingka Group (the company that runs most IKEA stores worldwide) has already invested €4.3 billion into renewable energy and plans to lift that to €7.5 billion by 2030.

Its wind and solar assets already generate enough electricity to match the annual consumption of more than 1.47 million European households, while rooftop solar continues rolling out across IKEA stores and warehouses worldwide.

This is what mainstream disruption looks like. Companies aren't waiting for governments or utilities to lead. They're investing billions because renewables increasingly offer the lowest-cost path to long-term energy security and resilience.

Furniture retailer? More like a clean energy company that happens to sell flat-pack furniture.

Norja ja Iso-Britannia porasivat samaa Pohjanmerta.

🇳🇴Norja sai 2000 mrd dollaria.
🇬🇧Iso-Britannia sai veronalennuksia.

Sama alue, sama aikakausi… täysin erilaiset lopputulokset.

Norja keräsi valtiolle noin 30 dollaria tuloja jokaisesta öljybarrelista. Iso-Britannia keräsi 11 dollaria.

Tuo ero, korkoa korolle -vaikutuksella 50 vuoden tuotannon aikana, selittää koko eron maiden välillä.

Norjan malli oli yksinkertainen: verota voimakkaasti (78 % marginaalivero), ota suoria omistusosuuksia öljykentistä SDFI-järjestelmän kautta, omista osa Equinorista ja sijoita kaikki ylijäämä ulkomaille rahaston kautta.

Norjan valtion eläkerahasto Government Pension Fund Global omistaa nyt yli 2000 miljardin dollarin varat.

Se tarkoittaa noin 390 000 dollaria jokaista norjalaista kohden — noin 1,5 % kaikista maailman listatuista osakkeista.

Finanssipoliittinen sääntö on: käytä vain rahaston 3 %:n vuotuinen reaalituotto. Pääomaan ei kosketa koskaan.

Iso-Britannia aloitti tuotannon aiemmin, alemmilla öljyn hinnoilla, matalammalla veroasteella (40 %) eikä luonut säästömekanismia.

Pohjanmeren öljytulot virtasivat suoraan valtion yleiseen budjettiin.

Taloustieteilijöiden arvioiden mukaan Iso-Britannia menetti noin 400 miljardia puntaa verrattuna norjalaistyyppiseen malliin.

Öljybuumin tuotot käytettiin pitkälti 1980-luvun veronalennusten rahoittamiseen rahaston perustamisen sijaan.

Missä ollaan vuonna 2026?

Norjan öljysektori tuottaa tänä vuonna 63 miljardin dollarin nettokassavirran — rahastoon, joka on jo niin suuri, että pelkillä tuotoilla voidaan kattaa 10–15 % valtion budjetista.

Iso-Britannia on nykyään energian nettotuoja.

Vuoden 2021 jälkeen se on maksanut Norjan kaltaisille maille yli 100 miljardia puntaa kaasusta.

Toinen maa kohteli öljyä rajallisena luonnonvarana, joka muutetaan pysyväksi finanssivarallisuudeksi.

Toinen kohteli sitä tulona.

Datakeskuksista

Suomessa on tiekartta sähköntuotannon tuplaamiseksi 160:een tWh:iin.

Siihen tarvitaan sähkön ostajia.

Vaikka datakeskukset eivät muuten toisi Suomeen sentin latia, näiden mahdollistama sähköntuotannon ja myynnin tuplaaminen on vuosittain 3,5 mrd euron arvoinen.

DIESEL DOESN’T STAND A CHANCE.

Tesla Semi high-volume production started April 29, 2026.

Same load. Same route. Same 700 km / 435 miles. Every day.

Tesla Semi → $111/day
Freightliner Cascadia → $358/day
→ $247 saved. Every single day.
→ ~69% cheaper energy
→ ~3.2x cheaper to run

10-year TCO:
Tesla Semi → $712,400
Diesel → $1,812,345
→ ~$1.1M more profitable per truck

The math is bulletproof.

Every day you wait costs you $247.
Fleet owners… your move.

CHINA JUST DREW A LINE ON AI

A court in China has ruled it ILLEGAL to replace human workers with AI purely to cut costs.

They have put responsibility back on corporations.

They can’t automate just to boost margins while workers are pushed out.

China has decided that wages, fairness, and employment aren’t optional.

And that’s a big shift.

While the west races to replace labour as fast as possible, viewing AI as a free-for-all… China has set a precedent that profit alone isn’t enough and corporations must answer to society.

No one cares. That’s the real story here. Now watch this.

🇨🇳 THE FASTEST CAR ON EARTH IS MADE IN CHINA - NEW WORLD RECORD

The BYD Yangwang U9 Xtreme has smashed the production car top speed record at 496.22 km/h on a certified German track. All-electric. Nearly 3000 horsepower, zero emissions and it just dethroned the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+.

While Europe clings to its petrol aristocracy and endless “China can’t innovate” cope, a Chinese EV is outrunning the old kings on their own turf.

This isn’t some one-off prototype either.
It’s production reality from a country that actually builds the future instead of talking about it.

Battery tech, power delivery, thermal managemen; all mastered at scale while the West lectures everyone on climate and then cheers 16-cylinder dinosaurs.

The shift isn’t coming, it’s already lapping the competition.

Who still needs dinosaur juice when China’s delivering this?

Norway sold 12 petrol cars in February 2026.

Out of 7,272 new passenger car registrations, 98% were fully electric. Just 67 diesel & 12 petrol cars were registered.

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Pep Gaurdiola on trending photos of Jack Grealish spotted asleep at a bar in Manchester.

🗣️ “People act surprised? I’m not. I’ve seen this movie before with Jack. Talent is never the problem with him discipline is. At this level, you either live like a professional or you get exposed like this. Football doesn’t forgive distractions.

At Manchester City, we demand obsession not vibes, not holidays in the middle of the season, not headlines for the wrong reasons. If you want to be a top player, you don’t end up passed out in a bar. Simple.

People always ask me why some players don’t reach the level they should this is exactly why. It’s not tactics, it’s not coaching… it’s choices. And Jack keeps making the wrong ones.

I wish him well, but this is why he could never fully be trusted when it mattered most.”

The VW Group, in its Current Form and State, will Not Survive

Today, the VW Group's supervisory board will be presented with a 160-page restructuring plan from BCG, and I predict the company will continue to take only cosmetic measures, which it is forced to take, thereby driving the company further into crisis.

Currently, at least four more plants in Germany would have to be completely shut down, and the company should be preparing for a capacity reduction of 4 million vehicles per year, not 1 million.

All decision-makers on the board of directors, the supervisory board, and the stakeholders of the Porsche and Piëch families are hoping that everything will somehow turn out for the best with minor adjustments, and they are reassuring each other that it will all work out because no one benefits from speaking the truth.

What needs to be done: The VW Group must discontinue one-third of its models, reduce capacity of 4 million vehicles per year, close at least 10 - 15 plants, lay off another 50,000 employees, and invest heavily in battery electric vehicles (BEVs). Ultimately, the VW Group should begin licensing negotiations for FSD with Tesla and develop two to three models capable of using the system right now.

None of this will happen because the decision-makers are avoiding the truth, and no one wants to say what everyone has known for a long time: the VW Group, in its current form and state, will not survive.

Liikenteen sähköistyminen vähentää fossiilisten kysyntää: se pienentää energiariippuvuuttamme sekä vähentää päästöjämme.

Lisäksi sähköautojen energiatehokkuus on huippuluokkaa.

Sähköistämistä tulee vauhdittaa politiikkatoimilla edelleen!
