Since China offered a truce in the trade war last October following its threat to deprive the United States of rare-earth magnets,
the Trump administration has been happy to stop escalating.
After all, imports from China have been falling, down by 40% in the year to June, compared with the same period in 2024.
Best to declare victory and call it a day.
But the US hasn’t won this battle
– and there’s strong evidence to show it’s afraid to really try.

Is the US actually too chicken to take on China for trade?

“Buildings are the single largest energy consumer in Europe. Transposition and implementation of the #EPBD is key to boosting the EU's current very low annual energy renovation rate (1%), reducing bills for citizens and businesses and the EU's dependence on imported fossil fuels, and achieving a zero-emission and fully decarbonised building stock by 2050.”

The Commission calls on EU countries to transpose the reinforced rules on the energy performance of buildings
The European Commission decided to open infringement procedures by sending letters of formal notice to all 27 EU Member States for failing to fully transpose into national law the provisions of the recast Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EU) 2024/1275.

Microsoft, Amazon and Google’s collective carbon emissions

or about a third of those of France.
The previous year, they emitted roughly 101m mTCO₂e,

Fohlenticker zur Hinrunde 2023/24: Mittelmaß mit 20 Punkten
Ticker vom 17.1: Nach 3 Punkten gegen Stuttgart - ein Sieg gegen Augsburg muss her 3 Punkte daheim gegen Stuttgart. Glücklich. Na und. Diesmal habe die "Punkteverspieler" die Punkte eben nicht verspielt, auch wenn auch ich vom Spielverlauf damit gerechnet hatte. Gut so. Und es sind 3 sehr wichtige Punkte, wenn man sich den Spielplan inklusive der Auswärtsspiele gegen die Bayern, Leverkusen und Leipzig anschaut.
