Solenergi - Solar Power

 

The next ten-fold increase will be equivalent
to multiplying the world’s entire fleet of nuclear reactors by eight 

in less than the time it typically takes to build just a single one of them.
The Economist: Solar Power An energy-rich future is within reach


What makes solar energy revolutionary is the rate of growth

In 2009, when installed solar capacity worldwide was 23gw, the energy experts at the IEA predicted that in the 20 years to 2030 it would increase to 244gw. 

It hit that milestone in 2016, when only six of the 20 years had passed. 

The world’s solar capacity hit 1,419gw last year.

Fondbolagen höjer sin lönsamhet när kapitalet ökar. Swedbanks fondbolag Robur, noterade en vinst på drygt 2,4 miljarder kronor.  I sin årsredovisning skriver Robur att det framför allt är utvecklingen på världens börser som bidragit till att det förvaltade fondkapitalet ökade med hela 17 procent jämfört med 2022.  SEB kan visa upp ett resultat på närmare 1,4 miljarder kronor för sin verksamhet i SEB Investment Management  Fondbolagens goda lönsamhet baseras på att fondspararna fortfarande är villiga att betala relativt höga avgifter. Den genomsnittliga fondavgiften ligger nu på 1,3 procent enligt en rapport från AMF. I kategorin aktiefonder är snittavgiften 1,45 procent av kapitalet. Svenskarnas samlade fondförmögenhet rekordhöga 7.900 miljarder kronor. Under årets första sex månader tog den svenska fondbranschen emot 103,7 miljarder kronor i nysparande, den högsta halvårssiffran någonsin.  Hans Bolander DI 29 juli 2024 https://www.di.se/nyheter/jattarnas-miljardvins...

Trump has already singled out pharma companies and countries like Ireland that reap the benefits of tax-avoidance moves.  Despite its small size, Ireland ran an $87 billion trade surplus with the U.S. last year—larger than any country except China, Mexico and Vietnam. https://www.wsj.com/health/pharma/how-trumps-tariffs-could-upend-pharmas-overseas-tax-strategy-5b8ca758 Is Ireland vulnerable again as the world’s vast shadow banking system starts to crack?
