Side note: There was no energy crisis before the USA & Israel launched an illegal war on Iran and subsequently blew up fuel stores…oh and hundreds of innocent Iranian school girls. The USA & Israel did that, Iran is defending themselves any way they can, much like any other nation would. 🤷♀️

The Trump administration pushed its automakers to back off on EVs then started a war that would cause an oil shock and drive a new wave of EV demand — particularly from Chinese brands. They just keep winning! “Our main challenge now is securing enough EV supply to meet the growing waiting list.”

Fascinating how the west’s journalists seem to have paid China zero attention since forever - anyone who’s been to China in the past decade will tell you the entire country is hell bent on decarbonising & electrifying everything. From my local perspective they are decades ahead of NZ

The Australians aren't mucking around. Ordering fuel in bulk from America. Because China just stopped exporting and Australia was reliant on China. Where are orders from NZ importers?

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.
