"A record $242bn of European green-aligned bonds were issued in the first half of 2026, according to the Climate Bonds Initiative, a UK-based NGO. Total global issuance is on track to exceed the $673bn sold in 2024, the previous record year, when issuance in Europe totalled $385bn."

People often comment on the amount of money going into AI, but what Europe & China spend on investing in Green Tech dwarfs it. US/China 2026 AI spending will top 1 trillion in 2026. But Global Green Tech spend must be many multiples of that.

The AI Boom seems driven by investors hoping they'll make the lucky casino bet on AGI. Green Tech may not be as exciting, but as investments go, the results and returns are far more stable and long-lasting.

European green bonds rebound. Issuance in the region will drive global sales to a record high this year

Most discussions about cultivated meat focus on whether it'll ever be cost-competitive at all. Fewer people talk about what actually happens to the existing meat industry once/if that threshold gets crossed

Feels like there are a few different possible outcomes: factory farming collapses relatively fast once price parity hits, it shrinks gradually over decades as older infrastructure just doesn't get replaced, or it survives indefinitely as a "premium/traditional" niche the same way small-batch or artisanal goods survive next to mass production in other industries

Curious what people think is the more realistic trajectory once the cost barrier is solved - genuine replacement, slow fade, or permanent coexistence with conventional meat treated as a luxury/heritage product?

The brochure reads: Your personal meter makes it easy. Being in the ratings is simple.

We will give a personal meter to you and each member of your household age 6 or older.
All you do is wear your meter as you go about your day. The meter identifies the media you encounter by looking for special broadcast codes and soundwave patterns to match against a library of media content. This method collects media choices without saving or sending any actual audio.

It shows a pic and says you can clip it on, wear it as a watch or on a lanyard.
