i’ve recently come across an insightful video analysis that was reposted on tiktok, explaining the Gaza situation in depth and touching on the geopolitical and economic motivations that background it, along with the potential impact from the ethnic cleansing and the active genocide of Palestinian people by zionists. here’s a summary with some links to more-reputable news articles:

-roughly around a month ago, netanyahu declared his plan for a “new middle east,” an economic corridor stretching from India to the European continent, through the UAE, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and “israel.”

-due to the weakening of the US Dollar, this “new middle east” corridor serves as a hopeful (on their part) counter to China’s new ongoing “silk road.” it’s essentially a move for leverage on world economics, trade, and politics.

-Russia is the country with the largest proven reserves of natural gas. in 2022, Nord Stream 1 and 2 (Russia’s gas pipelines) were both blown up. sanction packages from EU ban Russian gas. no more Russian gas coming into Europe.

-Iran, the country with the second largest gas reserves, signs the Nuclear Deal in 2015-2016. the US backs out of the deal and reimpose harsh sanctions on Iran. Iran is barred from selling its gas and oil to Europe and others.

-with Russia and Iran out of the picture, “israel” (US-backed) proposes itself as a solution to EU’s gas shortages. in 2010, they find the Leviathan—a giant gas field in the middle east (Mediterranean Sea), off the coast of Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria.

-Syria initially declines offers over its gas reserves; the US now controls 1/3 of Syria and all its oil fields, and “israel” regularly bombs it’s most vital port (Latakia). another major port is in Beirut, which mysteriously exploded in 2020. both Syria and Lebanon’s maritime activity are limited, including in trade and gas exploration.

-Gaza, also having its own unexplored gas fields, has been under siege, under naval blockade since 2007. the only working port left in the coast is haifa port in “israel.” “israel” is now the only one able to explore gas and implement an economic corridor, like the proposed “new middle east.” what the US and “israel” have essentially done is killed off the competition, stole their goods, and cornered the market.

-in light of Europe’s gas shortages, to get them gas before winter, “israel” attempts to “stabilize” the region by solving “the Palestinian question”—more than displacement, they’ve resorted to ethnic cleansing and genocide. basically an acceleration of their plan.

-what Palestinian resistance groups have done in response was because they were backed into a corner. tooth and nail, life or death. it did not happen in a vacuum.

it has always been a move for natural resources; Palestine, Syria, Congo—every move for destabilization framed as intervention. it has always been greed for capital.

update:

it’s come to my attention that the video in question might have some more pro-Russian leaning stances, and so i’ve deleted the google drive link to the reposted tiktok and the link to the actual tiktok as i do not wish to platform the denial, partial or in whole, of the atrocities done to Ukrainian people. i will keep the summary up with some parts omitted because i still do think it is an insightful analysis in general and i do think the knowledge is still useful and relevant.

What would you want to tell the next U.S. president? FP asked nine thinkers from around the world to write a letter with their advice for him or her.

Dear Madam or Mr. President,

Congratulations on your election as president of the United States. You take office at a moment of enormous consequence for a world directly impacted by the twin challenges of energy security and climate change.

Democrats and Republicans disagree on many aspects of energy and climate policy. Yet your administration has the chance to chart a policy path forward that unites both parties around core areas of agreement to advance the U.S. national interest.

First, all should agree that climate change is real and worsening. The escalating threat of climate change is increasingly evident to anyone walking the streets of Phoenix in the summer, buying flood insurance in southern Florida, farming rice in Vietnam, or laboring outdoors in Pakistan. This year will almost certainly surpass 2023 as the warmest year on record.

Second, just as the energy revolution that made the United States the world’s largest oil and gas producer strengthened it economically and geopolitically, so will ensuring U.S. leadership in clean energy technologies enhance the country’s geostrategic position. In a new era of great-power competition, China’s dominance in certain clean energy technologies—such as batteries and cobalt, lithium, graphite, and other critical minerals needed for clean energy products—threatens America’s economic competitiveness and the resilience of its energy supply chains. China’s overcapacity in manufacturing relative to current and future demand undermines investments in the United States and other countries and distorts demand signals that allow the most innovative and efficient firms to compete in the global market.

Third, using less oil in our domestic economy reduces our vulnerability to global oil supply disruptions, such as conflict in the Middle East or attacks on tankers in the Red Sea. Even with the surge in U.S. oil production, the price of oil is set in the global market, so drivers feel the pain of oil price shocks regardless of how much oil the United States imports. True energy security comes from using less, not just producing more.

Fourth, energy security risks extend beyond geopolitics and require investing adequately in domestic energy supply to meet changing circumstances. Today, grid operators and regulators are increasingly warning that the antiquated U.S. electricity system, already adjusting to handle rising levels of intermittent solar and wind energy, is not prepared for growing electricity demand from electric cars, data centers, and artificial intelligence. These reliability concerns were evident when an auction this summer set a price nine times higher than last year’s to be paid by the nation’s largest grid operator to power generators that ensure power will be available when needed. A reliable and affordable power system requires investments in grids as well as diverse energy resources, from cheap but intermittent renewables to storage to on-demand power plants.

Fifth, expanding clean energy sectors in the rest of the world is in the national interest because doing so creates economic opportunities for U.S. firms, diversifies global energy supply chains away from China, and enhances U.S. soft power in rapidly growing economies. (In much the same way, the Marshall Plan not only rebuilt a war-ravaged Europe but also advanced U.S. economic interests, countered Soviet influence, and helped U.S. businesses.) Doing so is especially important in rising so-called middle powers, such as Brazil, India, or Saudi Arabia, that are intent on keeping their diplomatic options open and aligning with the United States or China as it suits them transactionally.

To prevent China from becoming a superpower in rapidly growing clean energy sectors, and thereby curbing the benefits the United States derives from being such a large oil and gas producer, your administration should increase investments in research and development for breakthrough clean energy technologies and boost domestic manufacturing of clean energy. Toward these ends, your administration should quickly finalize outstanding regulatory guidance to allow companies to access federal incentives. Your administration should also work with the other side of the aisle to provide the market with certainty that long-term tax incentives for clean energy deployment—which have bipartisan support and have already encouraged historic levels of private investment—will remain in place. Finally, your administration should work with Congress to counteract the unfair competitive advantage that nations such as China receive by manufacturing industrial products with higher greenhouse gas emissions. Such a carbon import tariff, as proposed with bipartisan support, should be paired with a domestic carbon fee to harmonize the policy with that of other nations—particularly the European Union’s planned carbon border adjustment mechanism.

Your ability to build a strong domestic industrial base in clean energy will be aided by sparking more domestic clean energy use. This is already growing quickly as market forces respond to rapidly falling costs. Increasing America’s ability to produce energy is also necessary to maintain electricity grid reliability and meet the growing needs of data centers and AI. To do so, your administration should prioritize making it easier to build energy infrastructure at scale, which today is the greatest barrier to boosting U.S. domestic energy production. On average, it takes more than a decade to build a new high-voltage transmission line in the United States, and the current backlog of renewable energy projects waiting to be connected to the power grid is twice as large as the electricity system itself. It takes almost two decades to bring a new mine online for the metals and minerals needed for clean energy products, such as lithium and copper.

The permitting reform bill recently negotiated by Sens. Joe Manchin and John Barrasso is a good place to start, but much more needs to be done to reform the nation’s permitting system—while respecting the need for sound environmental reviews and the rights of tribal communities. In addition, reforming the way utilities operate in the United States can increase the incentives that power companies have not just to build new infrastructure but to use existing infrastructure more efficiently. Such measures include deploying batteries to store renewable energy and rewiring old transmission lines with advanced conductors that can double the amount of power they move.

Grid reliability will also require more electricity from sources that are available at all times, known as firm power. Your administration should prioritize making it easier to construct power plants with advanced nuclear technology—which reduce costs, waste, and safety concerns—and to produce nuclear power plant fuel in the United States. Doing so also benefits U.S. national security, as Russia is building more than one-third of new nuclear reactors around the world to bolster its geostrategic influence. While Russia has been the leading exporter of reactors, China has by far the most reactors under construction at home and is thus poised to play an even bigger role in the international market going forward. The United States also currently imports roughly one-fifth of its enriched uranium from Russia. To counter this by building a stronger domestic nuclear industry, your administration should improve the licensing and approval process of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and reform the country’s nuclear waste management policies. In addition to nuclear power, your administration should also make it easier to permit geothermal power plants, which today can play a much larger role in meeting the nation’s energy needs thanks to recent innovations using technology advanced by the oil and gas sector for shale development.

Even with progress on all these challenges, it is unrealistic to expect that the United States can produce all the clean energy products it needs domestically. It will take many years to diminish China’s lead in critical mineral supply, battery manufacturing, and solar manufacturing. The rate of growth needed in clean energy is too overwhelming, and China’s head start is too great to diversify supply chains away from it if the United States relies solely on domestic manufacturing or that of a few friendly countries. As a result, diminishing China’s dominant position requires that your administration expand economic cooperation and trade partnerships with a vast number of other nations. Contrary to today’s protectionist trends, the best antidote to concerns about China’s clean technology dominance is more trade, not less.

Your administration should also strengthen existing tools that increase the supply of clean energy products in emerging and developing economies in order to diversify supply chains and counter China’s influence in these markets. For example, the U.S. International Development Finance Corp. (DFC) can be a powerful tool to support U.S. investment overseas, such as in African or Latin American projects to mine, refine, and process critical minerals. As DFC comes up for reauthorization next year, you should work with Congress to provide DFC with more resources and also change the way federal budgeting rules account for equity investments; this would allow DFC to make far more equity investments even with its existing funding. Your administration can also use DFC to encourage private investment in energy projects in emerging and developing economies by reducing the risk investors face from fluctuations in local currency that can significantly limit their returns or discourage their investment from the start. The U.S. Export-Import Bank is another tool to support the export of U.S. clean tech by providing financing for U.S. goods and services competing with foreign firms abroad.

Despite this country’s deep divisions and polarization, leaders of both parties should agree that bolstering clean energy production in the United States and in a broad range of partner countries around the world is in America’s economic and security interests.

I wish you much success in this work, which will also be the country’s success.

Excerpt from this story from Canary Media:

Octopus Energy has surged to the top of the U.K. electricity market with its plucky brand of clean, flexible, customer-centric energy. Now it’s loading up on new investment to make a broader push into North America.

The sprawling clean energy startup pulled in two new investments in recent weeks. On May 7, it announced a re-up from existing investors, including Al Gore’s Generation Investment Management and the Canada Pension Plan. Last week, it added a new round from the $1 billion Innovation and Expansion Fund at Tom Steyer’s Galvanize Climate Solutions. The parties did not disclose the size of the new infusions but said that they lift Octopus’ private valuation to $9 billion. Previously, Octopus raised an $800 million round in December, putting its valuation at $7.8 billion. Thus, eight-year-old Octopus enters the summer of 2024 as one of the most valuable privately held startups in the world, but one whose impact is felt far more in Europe than in the U.S. The new influx of cash will help fund expansion in North America, both by growing its retail foothold in Texas and by ramping up sales of the company’s marquee Kraken software to other utilities. The company has its work cut out if it wants to reproduce its U.K. market dominance across the pond.

“It is a Cambrian explosion of exciting growth in almost every direction,” Octopus Energy U.S. CEO Michael Lee told Canary Media last week.

In the U.K., Octopus has gobbled its way up the leaderboard of electricity retailers, consuming competitors large and small until it reached the No. 1 slot this year. It supplies British customers in part with clean power from a multibillion-dollar portfolio of renewables plants that it owns. The company lowers costs to customers by using smart devices or behavioral nudges to shift their usage to times when the renewables are producing the most cheap electricity. Octopus also began making its own heat pumps, to help households break out of dependence on fossil gas at a volatile time.

In the U.S., land of free markets and capitalist competition, market design largely blocks Octopus from rolling out its innovations, and instead protects the monopoly power of century-old incumbent utilities. There is no national electricity market to take over, but a state-by-state hodgepodge of fiefdoms that obey differing rules. So Octopus made its first stand in Texas, whose competitive power market most closely resembles the U.K.’s system. It now sources power for tens of thousands of retail customers in the state.

“It is absolutely clear to me that the energy transition is happening first in Texas,” Lee said. ​“This is a fantastic market to be in if you know how to work with customers and help them be a central focus in providing that energy transition to the grid.”

Such an assertion might have elicited derisive snorts from Californians or New Yorkers a few years ago, but facts on the ground now support Lee’s thesis.

Thoughts?

Trying to tamp down domestic petrol price rises/subsequent inflation - bc if the oil can be exported not only is there diminished domestic supply, but any given barrel would be evaluated against the potential price it could fetch in Europe (€€€€€) meaning domestic gas prices would need to be competitive for that given barrel to stay.

Also should be considered as a contingency for OPEC+ production shrinkage

Also interestingly, this goes against the interests of many oil companies, who would be more than happy to export the gas (though export capacity is another bottleneck) & bring about "the end of $4-$5 gas in the US", effectively redirecting most surplus generated country-wide to them. Real question is if biden enforces something to tie point-of-sale price to point-of-production price instead of potential global market price, otherwise it's a matter of who blinks first

In the lead-up to the European Parliament elections in June, during which far-right parties across Europe made gains while green parties and liberals suffered losses, the EU’s Green Deal, launched in 2020, and environmental policies generally were attacked—blamed for the economic downturn in many European countries, as well as inflation and the energy price crisis. Opposition to climate targets and the Green Deal has also been a theme in the recent French national elections. The policy platform of the far-right Rassemblement National—which won the first round of the elections—contains many proposals that would see backpedaling on existing greenhouse gas reduction targets, and a moratorium on wind energy development.

Tapping into a widespread sense of economic insecurity, both right-wing and centrist parties adopted this narrative and sparked a politicized debate that frames pro-green and pro-competitiveness policies as opposing forces. Italian co-leader of the hard-right European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group Nicola Procaccini called the Green Deal “crazy and sort of a religion,” while Peter Liese of the center-right European People’s Party (EPP) said the planned phase-out of the internal combustion engine—a central policy of the Green Deal’s plan to decarbonize the transport sector—was a mistake.

European policymakers now face the challenge of crafting a green industrial strategy that meets climate and sustainability targets and competes economically with the U.S. and China—but also addresses the concerns of disenfranchised voters who have turned to extremist parties, particularly regarding the cost-of-living crisis and the perception that green policies are out of touch. Ensuring a just transition for workers in declining industries will be essential for the strategy to be economically effective and politically feasible.

What would be the key pillars of a European green industrial strategy, and how can they be designed to ensure both environmental sustainability, economic competitiveness, and societal acceptance? How can a green industrial strategy avoid becoming overly protectionist to ensure that trade policies support rather than hinder the cost-effective deployment of green technologies? And how can it benefit disenfranchised voters and appeal to the rising political right?

Rather than having a cohesive, long-term strategy, the EU’s industrial policy often consists of disjointed measures that respond to immediate pressures and development—such as competitive actions from global powers such as the United States and China.  China’s industrial policy has supported green industries for over a decade, especially in in the clean energy sector, and created challenges for European companies. Meanwhile the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which became law in the U.S. in August 2022, caught European policymakers by surprise, as its tax credits to promote the deployment of climate technologies has affected European companies’ investment decisions.

During its latest meeting in June, the European Council agreed on the Strategic Agenda 2024-2029, which calls to strengthen European competitiveness while at the same time retains the goal of making Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. It emphasizes the importance of bolstering the European Single Market, but also highlights the need for strengthening Europe’s industrial base in order to decarbonize European industry, develop the Union’s competitive edge in digital and clean technologies and diversify strategic supply chains.

The good news is that Europe does not need to start from scratch. First of all, while an easy political target in the recent elections, the Green Deal—the set of proposals which guided the EU’s climate, energy, transport, and taxation policymaking over the last five years—contains several legislative acts as well as mid-term targets which can guide the new green industrial policy. Despite political stigma, key components of the Green Deal, such as policies that drive decarbonization in industry and support resource efficiency through circular economy business models, are essential for European competitiveness and economic security and must be upheld. These policies must also provide tangible benefits for small businesses and communities and generate employment by stimulating local economies.

Second, the financing aspect of an industrial strategy will be crucial. Increased government funding for innovation in net-zero and circular economy technologies is needed, with a particular focus on scaling-up successful pilots and innovations. Initiating mission-oriented public-private partnerships and continuous funding support from early-stage development to large-scale implementation has been recommended by the Corporate Leaders Group Europe. Furthermore, well-structured funding opportunities for green infrastructure projects and businesses, coupled with project de-risking measures such as government-backed guarantees and demand-side incentives will enhance the leverage of private capital.

To maintain leadership in the green transition, the EU must also invest more heavily in research and development to support the scaling and commercialization of green innovations in Europe, but also across entire value chains. European innovation ecosystems and networks will increasingly need to extend and include trading partners, especially upstream producer countries. This will also support European green tech companies to export their products globally.

Third, it will be important to ensure that a European green industrial strategy does not become overly protectionist and unnecessarily increases the costs of the green transition. A green industrial policy that erects trade barriers that do more harm than good would be self-defeating. However, protectionist policies are often supported by far-right groups in Europe such as the Rassemblement National who typically emphasize national sovereignty and economic self-sufficiency. They advocate for protectionist policies to shield domestic industries from foreign competition, out of a belief this preserves jobs and strengthen the national economy. Protectionist rhetoric also resonates with European voters who feel left behind by economic globalization, such as those in declining industrial regions.

While there is a case for green industrial policy in support of the development and adoption of early-stage clean technologies, it is important to avoid protectionist tariffs on mature technologies that increase costs for end users and could trigger retaliatory measures from trade partners. Favoring domestic firms and products by relying on tariffs, discriminatory public procurement, or investment-screening controls can be distortive, leading to less efficient resource allocation globally and to higher prices and fewer choices for European consumers.

An example are the recently announced EU tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles that follow earlier tariffs imposed by the U.S. While these new tariffs will affect Chinese EV manufacturers’ prospects in EU and U.S. markets, they will raise prices for European and American households and exacerbate the affordability issues of the energy transition for low-income social groups, who already perceive green policies as main contributor to the cost-of-living crisis. Additionally, such tariffs might provoke retaliatory measures from China, potentially impacting other sectors and posing new economic challenges, particularly for France’s agricultural sector and producers of cognac and pork. Also, tariffs will cushion and protect domestic manufacturers from Chinese competition rather than making them more competitive, as well as delay the transition to low-carbon electric mobility systems.

Rather than become inward-looking, Europe will need to increase its international cooperation with trading partners, especially low- and middle-income countries. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the issues arising from concentrated semiconductor supply, emphasizing the need for diversification in the supply of critical goods like semiconductors and raw materials. Since then the EU has initiated critical raw material partnerships with several resource-rich countries, including Namibia, Kazakhstan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia and Uzbekistan. These partnerships are crucial for European competitiveness (ensuring access to materials needed for the twin digital and green transitions), but must also support industrialization and value-added industries in partner countries beyond mere extraction to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes.

Fourth, the link between environmental regulation and industrial policy needs to be further strengthened. One common argument has been that Europe’s environmental regulation and reporting requirements hampers competitiveness. For example, the leader of the German liberal Free Democratic Party, Christian Lindner, opposed the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive as it would place additional administrative burdens on companies. Eventually adopted in May 2024 after much political bargaining, companies are still concerned about increased compliance costs and administrative burdens associated with implementing comprehensive due diligence processes.

This, however, overlooks that the EU’s global leadership in setting environmental legislation and standards has been a cornerstone of its competitiveness and international influence for the last two decades. By setting stringent environmental standards and regulations, the EU has not only driven innovation within its borders but also shaped global norms and practices, compelling other regions to follow suit. Recent economic analyses show that Green Deal regulation has positively impacted innovation and European competitiveness internationally.

After the EU election outcomes, mainstream parties such as the EEP are already backpedaling on climate policy and have announced that they will oppose the planned phase-out of the combustion engine by 2035—partly because many far-right parties strongly oppose this policy. This, however, would not help competitiveness of European car manufacturers. Maintaining a focus on internal combustion engines cars could leave EU manufacturers lagging behind in the global EV markets and fall further behind technologically.

Instead, establishing unified EU-wide standards for green products and technologies and strategically advancing these standards internationally is crucial. It is essential to engage closely with Europe’s trading partners, particularly suppliers of materials and components in developing countries. These suppliers are integral to various value chains, including those for batteries, electronics, textiles, electric vehicles, semiconductors, and plastics. Without such engagement, Europe’s environmental policies and new standards run the risk of becoming trade barriers, restricting market access and causing disruptions for European brands and their suppliers, which would cause pushback.

Fifth, a green industrial strategy that identifies and supports leading sectors must also consider those negatively impacted by the transition. Therefore, principles of a just transition and social inclusivity are crucial. This includes implementing policies through the existing Just Transition Mechanism to support workers and communities affected by the shift to a green economy, minimizing social and economic disruptions. The mechanism, which includes training programs, will mobilize around €55 billion from 2021 to 2027 to the most affected regions, especially coal mining. Expanding the mechanism to other industries, for example the car manufacturing industry which is expected to lose up to half a million jobs in the shift to EV manufacturing, will be needed.

When it comes to consumer acceptance, the bottom line is affordability. If new green technologies are not affordable for most consumers, there will be political backlash, as seen with home heating systems in Germany. Heat pumps, a common piece of green home heating technology, became a major political issue used by the far-right AfD in Germany’s local and European Parliament elections. Thus, it is essential to design policies that keep the green transition affordable for consumers, avoiding regressive measures that disproportionately impact low-income households.

To remain competitive, the EU must reaffirm its commitment to leading the global green transition. By building on existing policies established under the Green Deal, Europe can develop a strategic green industrial strategy that not only matches the economic and technological advances of the U.S. and China but also reinforces its commitment to environmental sustainability and climate protection, but also social inclusion and equity. A political shift is underway in Europe, but this transition is inevitable. To make it more politically feasible and inclusive in the short term, it’s essential to implement strategies that address public concerns and demonstrate clear benefits. By doing so, the existing Green Deal can become a visible catalyst for economic and social transformation and the industries of the future.
