  • “EVs Are Failing To Break Into Mass Market” – Paul Homewood in WUWT suggests the “simple reality is that there is only limited demand for the upmarket cars currently dominating the EV sector; and many of these sales are for company cars, bought mainly for tax reasons”.
  • “Who really blew up the Nord Stream 2 pipeline?” – UnHerd‘s Freddy Sayers interviews Jeffrey Sachs and takes him to task over his claims that it was the U.S. wot done it.
