There've been plenty of opinions proffered on the BAAJA bill over the past few weeks (mine here: https://www.transitiontimes.net/tt-17-my-verdict-on-baaja/) but those don't move markets.
What moves markets is the companies themselves, and the energy transition …

TT#17 – My Verdict on BAAJA

Eine Zeit-Reportage über Low-Chill-Heidelbeersorten, die meine Frühstücksroutine lächerlich macht. Anbau in artenfremder Region, High-Performance Plastiktöpfe als Boden, dubiose Claims über Antioxidantien, es ist, wie man es sich denken kann.
