Odd Lots · Lots More With Isabella Weber on Draghi's EU Competitiveness Report · 13 Sep 2024 podcast

So it should team up Yeah

bargaining argument?

Yes.

So th that basically Europe European countries should team up in buying gas and that way be able to get lower prices on the global market, which again was a very, very hot topic in twenty twenty two, where basically the rest of Europe was really trying to do that and the German government was quite keen to

keep um procuring by themselves to make sure that Germany is supplied first.

So again, this is kind of a commentary on the last crisis, looking ahead at the next crisis, that we need more coordinated pro procurement on the European level.

I do agree with that basic premise.

That basically there is a challenge how to rethink the European model to make it competitive moving ahead.

And I think that Draghi's also right in emphasizing that in good parts this should build on existing strengths.

So Europe is still pretty competitive in the whole.

Clean tech sector.

I mean, of course, China is has become a very major player.

They're the most important player, but still there are many technologies where Europe actually is in a good position.

And where basically the the pipeline from innovation to employment and then actually like turning this into successful businesses is where the project fails.

And I think trying to tackle this is spot on and it's exactly right.

I would also say that the whole discussion around

Energy prices is of course related to competitiveness.

And this is where I would actually add the CO two price question, which is something that he kind of touches on but doesn't really go into.

Where I think in the US, I don't know how you see it, but my impression is that the idea of carbon pricing in the US is basically off the table.

I mean the Democrats are not gonna do it and Trump is definitely not gonna do it.
