@ajboekestijn @nrc Terecht punt, energie en klimaatexperts waarschuwen hier al (zeker 6-8) maanden voor. Ondertussen nemen Franse jongeren zelf (terecht) het voortouw met een ludieke actie om neon reclamelichtbalken uit te doen. Hulde. Via @spignal van @TheEconomist:

Good morning with good news: Norway's data indicates EVs "fail at a lower rate than gas cars in extreme cold."

EVs are 25% of cars in Norway. In a recent cold snap, 13% of cars unable to start were EV. For 2024 so far, 21% of cars unable to start were EV.

Poolse buitenlandminister Sikorski bij Euronews:
-We gaan onze munitieproductie enorm verhogen.
-Europa moet opschalen; we zijn 20x rijker dan Rusland.
-Toen ik klein was, was Rusland de Sovjet-Unie. De SU nam het op tegen het Westen. En verloor.
-Rusland zal opnieuw verliezen.

Mooie start van het jaar! Onze subsidieaanvraag "Laadstrategieën voor de inpassing van elektrisch vervoer - LIEV" is goedgekeurd.

Komende twee jaar doen we onderzoek naar de beste manier van opschalen van slim laden voor elektrisch vervoer.

NEWS: Tesla supplier Panasonic plans to roll out the newest iteration of its 2170 EV battery cell with improved capacity as early as this year, the CTO of its energy business said.

A revamped version of Panasonic’s 2170 cells will begin production at Giga Nevada.

Panasonic has been working to boost the energy density of the 2170 cell, Watanabe said, adding that it could help reduce the overall cost of an EV. “We will expand battery capacity and improve productivity at the same time,” Watanabe said.

Draadje. Als historicus heb ik geleerd om in scenario's te denken. Ik merk dat niet iedereen dit als een scenario, maar als 'de meest waarschijnlijke uitkomst' interpreteert. Er zijn echter veel ontwikkelingen om rekening mee te houden en wat de waarschijnlijkheid beïnvloedt. 1/

🤔In a secret document, the German Ministry of Defense realistically describes the "path to conflict", in other words, the beginning of a hot war between Russia and NATO in shocking detail, - BILD

▶︎ The secret Bundeswehr document "Collective Defense 2025" considers the beginning of the conflict in February 2024.

▶︎ Russia is launching another wave of mobilization and conscripting an additional 200,000 people into the army.

▶︎ Then the Kremlin begins a large-scale spring offensive against the background of insufficient support from the West of Ukraine.

▶︎ The Russian offensive will succeed by June 2024 and push the Ukrainian army back.

▶︎ Russia will provoke aggression against ethnic Russian minorities in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

▶︎ Clashes are taking place, which Russia is using as a pretext to start the massive West 2024 exercise involving 50,000 soldiers in western Russia and Belarus starting this September.

▶︎ In October 2024, Russia transfers troops and medium-range missiles to Kaliningrad and continues to arm its enclave with propaganda lies about an imminent NATO attack.

▶︎ The secret goal of the Kremlin: to conquer the "Suwalk corridor" between Belarus and Kaliningrad.

▶︎ From December 2024, an artificially created "border conflict" and "riots with numerous murders" will take place in the area of ​​the "Suwalki Corridor".

▶︎ At the very moment when the USA is paralyzed after the elections, Russia repeats the algorithm of intervention in Eastern Ukraine in 2014 on the territory of NATO, and this is in the scenario of the Bundeswehr exercises.

▶︎In January 2025, a special meeting of the NATO Council will be held, at which Poland and the Baltic states report on the growing threat from Russia.

▶︎ Russia is using propaganda to call black white and, under the pretext of threatening NATO, is moving additional troops to the Baltics and Belarus, especially in March 2025.

▶︎ In May 2025, NATO will decide on "measures for credible deterrence" to prevent a Russian attack on the "Suwalk Corridor" from the direction of Belarus and Kaliningrad.

▶︎ On X-Day, according to a secret Bundeswehr document, the NATO commander-in-chief orders 300,000 troops, including 30,000 Bundeswehr soldiers, to be transferred to the eastern flank.

This scenario is likely to be considered for NATO exercises.

But the spokesman of the Bundeswehr did not comment on the secret document.

💬 "In principle, I can tell you that considering different scenarios, even if they are extremely unlikely, is part of everyday military work, especially in training."

BILD was the same "yellow" publication that first published a map of Russia's attack on Ukraine with directions marked by arrows.

Then, in 2021, everyone laughed at the map and arrows.

@ajboekestijn Dat is nogal ehm, een schoolvoorbeeld van belangenverstrengeling? Er zijn wel eens grensgevallen, maar normaal gesproken belobbyed de voorzitter van de branchevereniging, de voorzitter van de commissie EN de senatoren. Dus dhr Oplaat moet zichzelf 2-3x belobbyen..? Linkje v. FTM?

[Arend Jan Boekestijn @ajboekestijn]

Dit kan toch niet. BBB-senator Gert-Jan Oplaat moet een druk bestaan leiden. De voormalig kippenboer is niet alleen de kakelverse voorzitter van de landbouwcommissie in de Eerste Kamer, maar hij leidt ook de brancheorganisatie voor pluimveeslachterijen.

@TeslaBoomerMama @SawyerMerritt @Tesla @IraEhrenpreis started out to change the world & he did, but you forget that his excessive wealth have also created room & a need for a new thrill, to buy his favorite donkey toy Twitter, change it without regard for societal impact..

So make the compensation in amount of “Elon 🌳’s planted?”

[Tomas Friedhoff @TomasFriedhoff]

@TeslaBoomerMama @SawyerMerritt @Tesla @IraEhrenpreis forget that Elon, with his original money made from Zip2 / PayPal, invested in a McLaren F1, his dream car at the time.

While the financial incentives might have triggered him early on, more as a recognition, who says that further stimulates the already wealthiest man?

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

I think Elon Musk should receive a new incentive package from @Tesla.

It's been 6.5 years since Tesla announced a 10-year CEO performance award for Elon, with vesting entirely contingent on achieving market cap and operational milestones that would make Tesla one of the most valuable companies in the world.

In order to fully vest, Tesla's market cap had to grow to $650 billion (an increase of almost $600B at the time), and important revenue and profitability goals would also have to be achieved.

Tesla achieved a $650B market cap just 2.5 years after that 2018 incentive plan went into effect. Tesla also went on to hit many of the revenue and EBITA milestones.

I think incentives are important, and like the previous 2018 incentive plan, I think a new one should at least be partly based on market cap milestones. $2T, $5T, $7T, $10T, or whatever the Board of Directors decides, but it should be ambitious. Elon has previously stated that with extremely good execution, he believes Tesla could achieve a valuation comparable to the combined value of Apple and Saudi Aramco in ~5 years. This would result in Tesla's market cap exceeding $4 trillion.

Optimus (Tesla Bot), Robotaxi's (FSD), next-gen car, Tesla Energy, etc. Tesla has so many big things in the pipeline that could create incredible revenue & earnings growth.

Like with the 2018 incentive plan, the new one should give Elon no guaranteed compensation of any kind - no salary, no cash bonuses, and no equity that vests simply by the passage of time. Everything must be performance-based. He will be compensated only if Tesla and all of its shareholders do extremely well.

Some may disagree with giving him a new incentive package because he's already so wealthy, in part due to these previous incentive packages. My response to that would be that Elon Musk is the best capital allocator in the world. He doesn't spend his money on giant yachts, houses, expensive car collecting, etc.

Most of his net worth is tied up in the stock of his own companies. Every one of Elon's companies, whether it be Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, Boring Co, etc., has a mission that partly aims to improve people's lives and push humanity forward. These innovative companies create jobs all around the world.

Information appeared (no official confirmation) that on January 14th, fire damage was inflicted on two Russian aircraft, namely the DRLV A-50 aircraft and the Il-22 bomber that were over the Sea of Azov.

By preliminary information, the A-50 aircraft was shot down. The Il-22 aircraft was damaged but was in the air and was attempting to reach the nearest airfield. However, it disappeared from radars after it started its descent, in Kerch area.
