ok this may be copium but if the US is about to rip up the IRA and do a trade war with China, will the EU still having the Green Deal on the books and uh, not pursuing a trade war, mean it just… automatically becomes more prosperous??? this isn't such a wild proposition, right?
like look we all know that the EU risks becoming politically braindead for a bit with France and Germany currently being in chaos, but there's an incredible opportunity here to win simply by good old EU bureaucratic–political inertia?
oh shit if the US is gonna do hardcore pre-emptive trade war on China then Taiwan is absolutely fucked, the line on the map representing China's internalised costs is moving, because now the massive bleeding of US trade is baked in either way…
WAIT is this gonna be the thing that saves Northvolt????? did the US just save the Swedish green economic boom? is that even possible? am I going fucking insane????
holy shit i am So hyped for the end of the american century
