It’s been brought to my attention that the Economist cover story is blaming Gen-Z socialism on “an influential group of socialist academics” led by @isabellamweber.bsky.social. Turns out Gen-Z got radicalized by … our analysis of corporate earnings calls. Huge if true!

If I were an action hero, this is what I’d say to the bad guy before the kill shot.

"Epistemic derisking" describes how knowledge infrastructures – such as energy models, scenarios, and plans – are leveraged by states in efforts to mobilize private capital for energy transitions. New article with @rosiecollington.bsky.social: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

New paper in @internatltheory.bsky.social! In 2020-23, nearly every major financial company worldwide was pledging to reach net zero. By 2024-25, many bailed as political backlash ramped up. Why were net-zero norms so weak? In the paper, I argue that companies were caught in a "hype cycle"

New review article! State capacities for decarbonization: from investable transitions to green transformations by Rosie Collington. @rosiecollington.bsky.social doi.org/10.1080/09644016.2026.2633835

Hilarious how for years serious people have said that you can't rely on renewables because they are prone to disruptions in supply www.ft.com/content/19f1...

Profiteering is not a bug but a feature of wars. TotalEnergies took “advantage of the wartime disruption to make a bumper profit” of more than USD 1 billion. The right response to this war is to end the war, cut off windfall profit opportunities and stabilize prices. www.ft.com/content/eba8...

Government must deliver for working people—and every dollar in our budget should work as hard as they do. That’s why I directed every agency to cut waste and help close our budget gap. Here’s some of what we found.

Tomorrow I'm heading midwest for @isanet.bsky.social, where I'll be presenting initial findings from my project with @lenseabrooke.bsky.social on market data infrastructures, environmental & social risk & the brave new world of development finance (beyond derisking as we know it!)

The war on Iran likely brings a new oil price shock and windfall profits. So, who stands to win? Our research shows: Last time around (2022), the US reaped the largest fossil fuel profits of any country ($377bn). 50% went to the top 1%, only 1% to the bottom 50%. A🧵

I have a new review paper out in @environmentalpol.bsky.social! ✨ What would it actually take for states to pursue green transformations? I identify 5 capacities — planning, disciplinary, strategic, legitimation and adaptive — and their respective policy elements, capabilities and institutions

it’s not just a horribly unfair system — it’s also so terribly and unsustainably designed “In the last year £15.2bn of interest was added to loans, but only £5bn repaid” Glad to see the FT editorial acknowledging the insanity www.ft.com/content/82f5... Britain’s inequitable student loan system
