             And, this is why we continue to reiterate the message: Power will soon become the most valuable commodity in the world. Governments will join the AI arms race and alternative sources of energy are needed. As seen below, China is WAY ahead of the US on power generation.

             Sverige står för en promille av de globala utsläppen och är överlägset bäst i EU-klassen. Ändå diskuteras frågan om klimatmålen som om Sveriges agerande spelar en viktig roll för den globala uppvärmningen. Det är vilseledande och dumt.

             I just read an incredible paper. These authors went and used sequencing data from the U.K. Biobank and found that a sizable number of people were likely misdiagnosed with a common disease when they really have a rare one. The next part was amazing: They looked at sequencing

A historic step has been taken now – an agreement with Sweden on Gripen fighter aircraft, and that’s a good choice. We are counting on 150
