This is my «how often do you think about the Roman Empire » text, that I think of every time I interact with a utility in any way. Truer words have never been spoken.

Strong ecosystem = more unicorns and more retention of founders.

Sweden arguably has the best European ecosystem, producing >5 unicorns per capita and retaining close to 60% of its 🦄founders. The Swiss import - so different case. But what is the cause and what is the effect?

In men’s tennis, American players have won 3 in the last 100 grand slams, Australians 2, South Americans 2 and Russians 2.

The remaining 91 have been won by Europeans.
Congrats #zverev #usopen

Most people find the last person making a point that has been true for ten years but won’t be the next ten years more serious than the first person making a point that has been wrong for ten years but won’t in the next ten.

Storm #Amy hit our home and garden yesterday. But the solar panels stayed in place. Good craftsmanship lasts.

Du er bra dum om du skal bruke 13-åringer som leiemordere. Min erfaring er at de ikke klarer å sette inn i oppvaskmaskinen en gang.

Sånn gikk det til å bli gründer. Morsom samtale med @Heftye

Solar deployment is now happening at a roughly $500B annualized rate.

Which technology deployments were larger than this? The US's aircraft production during WWII seems to have peaked at maybe $400B (inflation-adjusted). Global datacenter construction appears to be maybe $200B/year.

The end of the internal combustion engine?

Global sales of petrol and diesel cars peaked in 2017/18 and are now falling.

The shift to electric and low-carbon transport is well underway—and EV sales are rising fast.

Adios, X

This framework for energy transition decision making is good. https://t.co/VH6cCKIiC1
