i know the digital hive mind is broken, but i don't know where to go with this: in the early twentieth century, lenin and others calculated the level of 'energetic concentration' (my word), i.e. a ratio of how many companies controlled how much of energy production. has this ever been tried again?

books aren't written and published, they grow infinitely slowly into the world, one word, page, book proposal, grey strand of hair, sleepless night and website at a time

in 2003, the electric power council of the commonwealth of independent states (forming the ips/ups system) asked the union for the co-ordination of transmission of electricity (the continental european system) whether the two systems could be synchronized, and a feasibility study was conducted

I'm given to understand the US will be applying a 250% tariff on continental philosophy

As it’s written in German, I hope to share a sneak peek in English soon. For now, here’s a little glimpse: a cartographic visualization of what I have termed a "climatological differentiation theory" (1918).

Excited to share that my dissertation has now been published with @velbrueckw.bsky.social: www.velbrueck.de/Programm/The... It looks at how society became a concern for the climate sciences and how climatological theories of society have evolved since the mid-19th century.

the more i'm reading about it, the less i understand how EU electricity market liberalization could happen. some industrial consumers lobbied for it, two states had an interest in selling/buying surplus power, but there was only one hardcore supporter (the uk) – against all the rest!
