EVs DO NOT EMIT MORE PM
Recently @OECD published a report about particulate matter (PM) from road transport. Newspaper headlines blared that electric vehicles where worse than combustion vehicles. That conclusion was wrong according to the report itself.
Let me show you.
The report (published december 7) can be found here: https://t.co/1HpicKexOt
It's main point is well taken: as cars get cleaner, fine particles emitted by brakes, tires and road surfaces will become more important.
The table comparing electric and combustion engines is on page 92. I took averages of low and high values to get the graph in the first tweet.
I merely took the averages. To get this.
I think it is a terrific report that pulls together a LOT of literature on fine particles that cars spew into the air and that make us sick.
We have ignored this problem for too long, and there's more here than simply exhaust!

1/ Thoughts on Disney's Analyst Day.
Obviously a longtime Disney D2C bull; I was astounded, shocked by slate's quality, range, volume.
This is Disney going beyond a digital "Vault" plus originals. It is saying all of your favorite stories, more,
2/ Not just a stronger Disney+, but one that hugely raises the tablestakes of competition, growth, press coverage, notability.
Paramount+ plans new Star Trek year round. Feels quaint now. Peacock will have a Jurassic Park + Fast series eventually.
3/ In "Content, Cars, and Comparisons in the 'Streaming Wars'", I wrote about how Disney $1B in content spend gets several billion of equivalent spend through its resonance
Mando was a top 5 show per @ParrotAnalytics in 2019. Disney thinks it can have 10 "Top 5s" a year.
4/ Trade talk can be misleading, but it takes only a cursory look at Twitter, the most popular shows of the past decade (Walking Dead, Thrones, Mando, Stranger Things), Disney's dominance at the box office (8 of top 10 in 2019) and wonder how to beat
5/ Roadmap doesn't just suck oxygen out of streaming wars (as Netflix did from 2014-18), it will enable Disney+ to rapidly grow its price
If I pay $54 a year to use Disney+ for 2 months, what happens when it's year-round?
Worth $15 month in

This feels like the true unveiling of Disney+ versus April 2019, tbh

In other words, the year-long Disney+ Open Beta attracted 87M subscribers.

A former exec at a global media giant: "This is how the game is now played. If other companies want to compete, this is now the threshold... it's a kind of cultural shock and awe" (With permission)

I pay $27 per month for Disney+. This is the biggest bull thesis for Disney.
