Interesting data from an international opinion poll: 11% see car owning *primarily* as a financial constraint / something that is hard to afford
consorsfinanz.de/unternehmen/st… Image
The share of people who see cars primarily as a financial constraint is strikingly similar across countries at around 10% Image
In most countries there is a substantial share of car owners who sometimes give up on using their cars because of the cost of fuel. Particularly among younger adults. Image
The share of people who support a *lowering* of fuel taxes (ca. 60%) is much higher than that supporting an increase for the sake of the environment (ca. 20%). Image

The UK is doing is very well with the vaccines, but is it going to people's heads?

This poll would suggest it is. British respondents rate the UK's performance better than Israel(!) and much better than the US, although the data does not bear that out. kekstcnc.com/insights/covid… Image
The actual data on the vaccination rate Image
These matrices are a *treasure trove* for laying bare national stereotypes.

So which countries do Germans think are doing *worst* with vaccines? Well, why, UAE & Italy.

*All* countries surveyed also likely to think that UAE is doing badly. Except this is the reality. 🤯😂🤦‍♂️ Image

You want to get a sense of how difficult transport is for climate mitigation? Go no further than this report.

A THREAD with lots of graphs
Transport is by far the largest sector of final energy consumption in the EU.

20 years ago, industry & residential were close, but both have declined, while transport has increased.
While final energy consumption increased, energy *efficiency* decreased steadily.

So what happened there? Well, travel *activity* increased (with ups & downs due to the economic crisis)

This is fun but how could they miss the dreaded *production stage*!? 😱😂
"All your 300+ references get misplaced after you approved the (correct) proofs, so the paper is online but everything is wrong with it. Hope no one sees it & spend a few days correcting references & emailing the journal manager" (TRUE STORY)
"Your special issue article erroneously gets published in a regular issue. Spend your holidays on the phone with the publisher. End up with the same paper published twice, once as "Reprint", with 2 separate DOIs"

The German government is pretty keen on (talking about) eFuels re: decarbonising transport. Good thread here on why it look like a bad idea.
In a nutshell ⬇️
It is of course *entirely possible* that the enamourment with eFuels is not authentic, but more a means to an end (= avoiding any move away from the internal combustion engine).

That would make this a "discourse of climate delay" (see paper & thread ⬇️

As you might have noticed, I'm not the biggest fan of the automotive industry. But this article on the links between German carmakers and the Orban regime shocked even me. 😱 Must-read.
It documents how German automakers receive large subsidies from the Hungarian state... Image
...while car production accounts for a large share of jobs in Hungary... Image

New paper on #EnergyPoverty and #TransportPoverty with the brilliant @CaitHRobin just published in Energy Research & Social Science doi.org/10.1016/j.erss…

Thread on the main findings...
This is one of those collaborations-that-had-to-happen. England provides modelled estimates of #FuelPoverty for low-level geographies, which is pretty unique. And @CaitHRobin has analysed that data in depth, in this paper...
...and this one...
