Quick notes: War escalation | Sodium-ion battery...

  • Escalation: Russia and Ukraine have incentives to negotiate. The U.S. has other plans. It is replacing Ukraine as Russia’s main battlefield adversary.


  • EVs for all with CATL’s amazing new battery: CATL has solved sodium-ion batteries’ energy density problem. Specifications are incredible -- cheaper, safer, last longer, charge quicker, miniscule environmental impact.



  • Fragile Himalayan ecology: Respecting religious sentiments doesn't mean constructing 6-Lane highways. Let us not anger the deities that reside in the sacred mountains and protect us from harm. Tourism must take the form of homestead tourism, rather than the building of luxury eco-lodges.

Hindenberg as 'Soft Power'

Players like Soros and Hindenberg, which have been able to identify usefully vulnerable targets for short-selling purposes, can be seen as a sort of 'soft power' which can have the ability to shape markets. Since India has been keen on cultivating more soft power for itself, Indians should look at forming their own Hindenberg groups, not only to examine financial vulnerabilities in domestic markets beyond what regulators are able to do with their limited scope, but also to identify useful opportunities in foreign markets to influence them.
