NEW 🧵 A quick thread of charts showing how Trump’s economic agenda is going so far: 1) US consumers are reacting very very negatively. These are the worst ratings for any US government’s economic policy since records began.

So the reason Norfolk Island copped a dramatically higher tariff than the rest of Australia is two shipments of Timbaland boots from the Bahamas and some aquarium supplies from the UK that had their point of origin mislabeled or misrecorded. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

It's got zero to do with negotiation or indeed with any sense of logic. The tariff rates are the product of minds which are functionally insane, doing fantasy mathematics at scale. We're all lost in a hall of mirrors pretending that a compass will help us find our way out.

Why are UK electricity bills so high? It's fossil gas, stupid! Many want to make us believe that it's because of renewable energy. But look at the data and you find very little impact of renewables but a huge impact of the cost of fossil gas. HT @daanwalt3r.bsky.social @ember-energy.org

I've never seen a nation torch its reputation the way Musk and Trump are torching that of the US. Every day they find a way to make a new segment of the world population detest them. Makes Brexit look like a PR triumph.

NEW ANALYSIS: Current running costs of heat pumps on standard tariff reach cost parity with gas boilers with average efficiency (SCoP 2.9). BUT: Highly efficient heat pumps + smart tariffs can more than halve heating costs. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
