The new US tariffs are their last lunge

by

Nike’s shares have fallen by 14% after the announcement of the New Trump tariffs And they were already coming from a lousy years inertia. Since the historical maximums in the late 2021, Nike’s action has fallen almost 70%. This has only been the last episode … and perhaps the most difficult to correct in the short term. Why is it important. Nike had been strategically moving away from China … but it has ended up falling into an even greater tariff trap. Decades have been building a production network in Asia to benefit from low labor costs and government incentives. Now this business model is in existential danger. Stifel analysts They calculate That tariffs, without considering rises of prices or changes in countries of origin, could reduce the benefits per action of Nike this year by $ 1.69. It rains on a wet for a company that until the early post-pandemic years was exemplary. In figures. The tariff coup to Nike’s supply chain is devastating: 46% of Vietnam tariff (produces 50% of Nike footwear). 32% of Indonesia tariff (produces 27% of footwear). 54% of total tariff to China (the previous 20% + 34% new). These three countries represent 95% of Nike’s footwear production, leaving the company without viable alternatives to avoid new costs. UBS estimates That to counteract only the impact of tariffs on Vietnam, Nike would need to increase their prices between 10% and 12%. What has happened. Investors have punished Nike and other companies in the sector that depend on Asian manufacturing. In a single day, Nike’s actions fell by 14%, while their competitors suffered similar falls: adidas (-11%), Puma (-10%), Lululemon (-13%), Skechers (-20%), ON HOLDING (-15%). Nike is not only suffering from tariffs. The company It had already been dragging competitiveness problems In front of emerging brands such as those of the previous paragraph other such as Hoka, and had announced a restructuring plan with cuts of 2,000 million dollars. The context. This crisis is not only accentuated by the rise of its rivals in general, but there is a particular code name: Adidas, which has a strategic advantage by having a strong productive presence in Europe (up to 30%), which allows you to export from Germany and reduce your tariff exposure. Nike, on the contrary, depends almost exclusively on Asia, as we have seen before. And now what. Nike has few options to mitigate the immediate impact of tariffs. Increase prices: a couple of Air Jordan 1 high could rise from 180 to 198 dollars. Negotiate with suppliers to share the additional cost load. Accelerate automation and reduce its dependence on intensive labor. Pressure to obtain exemptions or modifications of tariff policy. Thus and all, the strong fall of Nike contextualizes the fear of investors to even the correct application of these measures is sufficient and the brand ends up losing competitiveness if it transfers the costs to the customer. Deepen. Nike is trapped in a perfect storm: Extreme Dependency of Asia (95%) for manufacturing. Impossibility of rapid relocation. Relocating manufacturing has not been for years. Margins already pressured. Permission fighting the loss of market share and going down prices. Double competitive punishment. If you absorb tariffs, you lose margin. If you upload prices, you lose customers. No viable alternative countries. At least in the short term. Nike built his empire under the ‘Just Do’ mantra, but now faces a harsh reality: he can’t do much before an overented tariff policy.

It is 0.5% of 1% of the Milmillonaria elite

by

At the end of 2023, it was estimated that around 1.1% of humanity controls 45.8% of all the wealth. At present, both percentages are likely to be short since the number of millmillonarians have passed 2,640 in 2023, to 3,028 ultra -ups in 2025with a heritage of more than 1,000 million dollars, According to data of Forbes. Among them, they accumulate a fortune of joint of 16.1 billion (Europeans) of dollars. However, even within that small group of Milmillonarios, there is also an elite that belongs to a select club: the 100,000 million club of dollars. The rise of the centimillonarians Just eight years ago, someone’s simple idea with a fortune of more than 100,000 million dollars was practically science fiction thing. At the end of the 80s, the planet’s largest fortunes barely exceeded 10,000 million dollars, and we had to wait until the Puntocom outbreakon the threshold of the 2000, so that someone will approach the 12 figures: Bill Gates. Today, on the other hand, the world has changed dramatically. In 2025 several milestones have been overcome, such as the fact of a person overcomes The threshold of 400,000 million of heritage. But in relation to this select club, the milestones have been that the number of members has promoted 15 people, and that One of them is a woman. According to data of Forbesthis select club formed by only 15 people, controls 15% of the total wealth in the hands of the Millionaires. That implies that the members of this select club control a sum of 2.4 billion dollars. That is, 400,000 million more than the joint assets that added the 14 members that formed it last year. Between 2018 and 2020, only Jeff Bezos exceeded 100,000 million dollars of heritage. In 2021, they joined this select Club Elon Musk, Bernard Arnault and Bill Gates. In 2022, they joined the Warren Buffett club, the founders of Google Larry Page and Serguéi Brin, and Larry Ellison. It was already a club formed by eight members. However, the greatest increase occurred in 2024, when the members had to clench a little to accommodate the 14 millionaires whose fortunes exceeded 12 figures. These are all club members in 2025: Elon Musk (342,000 million dollars) Mark Zuckerberg (216,000 million dollars) Jeff Bezos (215,000 million dollars) Larry Ellison (192,000 million dollars) Bernard Arnault (178,000 million dollars) Warren Buffett (154,000 million dollars) Larry Page (144,000 million dollars) Serguéi Brin (138,000 million dollars) Amancio Ortega (124,000 million dollars) Steve Ballmer (118,000 million dollars) Rob Walton and Family (110,000 million dollars) Jim Walton and Family (109,000 million dollars) Bill Gates (108,000 million dollars) Michael Bloomberg (105,000 million dollars) Alice Walton (101 billion dollars) The first woman in the club For the first time in history, a woman has managed to break the 100,000 million barrier and join this exclusive club. It has been Alice Walton, heiress of the fortune of Walmart, who took the witness of Françoise Bettencourt Meyersfrom L’Oreal, which in 2024 He stayed at the doors With a fortune that fleeting the 100,200 million fleetingly, but it was not consolidated above that figure. With an estimated assets of 101,000 million dollars, Walton is not only recognized for its vast wealth, but also for its philanthropy. It has donated approximately 1.7 billion dollars for 2024, including the donation of 249 million dollars to build the Alice L. Walton School of Medicine in Bentonville, hometown of the Walton family. His brothers Jim and Rob Walton are also part of this exclusive Millionaire club, with a fortunes of valued at 109,000 and 110,000 million dollars respectively. A Spanish and a French among Americans Among this elite of magnates, only two millmillonarians do not have American nationality: THE SPANISH AMANCIO ORTEGAfounder of Inditex; and the Frenchman Bernard Arnault, head of the LVMH luxury conglomerate. Amancio Ortega has consolidated his fortune above 100,000 million thanks to the good financial results of Inditex and the growth rate of its Real Empire Pontegadea. At present, Ortega occupies the Ninth position of the Millionaire List of Forbes, with a heritage valued at 124,000 million. Something more agitated It has been Bernard Arnault’s stay in this club during the last year, which went from taking first place on the Forbes list, to fall to fifth place due to the Sales collapse in China of its luxury products.

50 years later the amazing thing is not that Microsoft continues to exist. The hallucinating thing is that it remains (Tan) relevant

by

Does 50 years Two young people called Bill Gates and Paul Allen They created the one that has become the largest software empire in history. That April 4, 1975 was born Micro-Soft. The name occurred to Allen, what years later I didn’t remember why he used the script and that capital. The detail has remained in anecdote. One of the thousands which are already part of the history of a company that has managed to be relevant and toe for half a century. There are not many in the world of technology that can boast something like that. How did you do it? Windows 10: 9 very useful and little known tricks Reinventing himself. Microsoft has been lifted after each fall. And there have been many. And very important. But it was not so at the beginning. Microsoft, like all the big ones, was loved long before being (deeply) hate. Gates and Allen were in the right place and moment, but they also knew how to take advantage of their opportunities. The first arrived in 1980, when they reached an agreement with IBM to provide the operating system for its PCs. It is curious how history is repeated again and again, because that is just what would happen to that operating system that would end up calling themselves. Gates and Allen did not create that operating system: they bought the original, QDOS/86-dos, for $ 50,000, and modified it so that it could be used on the IBM PCs. Apple did the same with Nextstep (based on FreeBSD) When he bought Next and ended up turning that operating system in Mac OS X. years later Google would buy a small startup called Android Inc. to take advantage of an operating mobile system that he had created. That said. The story ended up. But those are other stories. That agreement with IBM was a turning point, but above all it was for its terms. Microsoft received $ 430,000 for that product – very less than Ibm hoped to have to pay – but Microsoft maintained the ability to sell its operating system to other companies. From that moment Microsoft was a rocket. One controlled by a Gates implacable and fierce. With their lights and their (many) shadows, Gates and his company would soon begin to achieve the goal that They had marked and that a priori seemed impossible: put a computer in each home. It did not matter others doing things in a different or better way: Microsoft always managed to impose itself. He did it with MS-DOS and of course he did it with his long and erratic Light of Windows operating systems or with its office suite, Office, today maximum expression of the intention of how everything can (but should not) become a service in the cloud. For 25 years, Microsoft was no one to cough him, but then the earthquakes began to arrive. First, Internet, browsers, search engines and social networks. Then the smartphone. Redmond’s company lost all those wars. Always late and bad, and he was convicted of that Innovative dilemma in which David wins the game to Goliath. But there is the really amazing. Microsoft fell and lost those wars, but he got up again and reinvented. Even those that had won – like that of the browsers, With Internet Explorer– He ended up losing them, but we insisted: it didn’t matter. There we saw the true strength of Microsoft. It didn’t matter if the general public hated her: they did not give up and tried one, and another, and again. They failed with bing in search engines, they had to spend 26.2 billion dollars to “compete” on social networks and also shipwrecked (Too bad) With Windows Phone. And once again, it didn’t matter. Faced with these failures, new successes. Not only that: definitive reinvention. After the arrival of new contendliere NadellaMicrosoft changed the image and of strategy. Of being hated and almost ignored it was relevant and even loved. He got it shyly In the mobile segment, but where he has achieved an exceptional triumph has been in the cloud, where Azure marks the pattern with his great rival, AWS. And since then and along the way, many more stories, many smaller and large failures and also many small and large hits. It is impossible to put them all here, but it is also inevitable not to mention legendary products. Among them the Xbox, pillar of a very forty bet But not especially fortunate For the video game segment. Or also the successes that the company also achieved with the devices of the Surface family. The Hololens were Another failureYes, but one that at least showed that the company always tried to reinvent himself. In those is precisely now Microsoft, but this time not to lose what may be the most important train in history: The artificial intelligence. His reaction thus has been faster and more ambitious than on other occasions, but still the unknowns about the result of that bet are enormous. Whatever happens, it will probably give the same. And it will give the same because Microsoft will end up doing what you have always done. Reinvent yourself. Happy 50, Microsoft.

Youth unemployment is the key for Spain to cease to be the EU strike champion

by

For a long time, Spain has been sadly famous in the European Union for having the higher unemployment rates. However, the panorama could be changing, with countries like Sweden and Finland registering a worrying increase in their unemployment figures. Regardless of the particularities of the labor market of the Nordic countries, there is a factor that seems to be the key to this change in tendency: youth strike in these countries has not stopped growing, while In Spain it goes down. A CYCLE CHANGE. According to the February 2025 data Presented by Eurostat, Spain has reduced its 10.4%unemployment rate. In general terms, these are not good figures taking into account that the average unemployment rate in the EU is 5.7% and 6.1% in the euro zone, but they suppose one more step in a progressive downward trend that began in 2013, the year in which there was a disastrous 26.06%. However, expectations have not been so flattering for Sweden, that he has seen how his unemployment rate did not stop increasing to 8.9%, while Finland is 9.2%. Although these numbers are still lower than those registered in Spain, the upward trend of the Nordic countries has already lit some alarms. The situation in Sweden. In Sweden, the labor market is experiencing a significant transformation, especially among young people. Eurostat shows a worrying escalation in the youth unemployment of Sweden that has gone from 23.8% in February 2024 to 25.1% in February 2025. EU sources They attribute this increase in youth strike to the lack of alignment between education and the needs of the labor market. To give an example, Sweden does not have a strategy to prevent premature school abandonment. That reverses in a labor market with young people with little job training. In 2022, before the relentless increase in youth unemployment, Sweden began to encourage professional training among their young people to increase the employability rate of their youth. Despite the measures taken in this regard, the country has failed to stop its escalation. Unemployment in children under 25 years. Source: Eurostat Finland: next unemployment leader? Finland also faces similar challenges, with an unstoppable increase in its unemployment rate. Eurostat data indicates that, in February 2024, their unemployment rate was 8.1%, marking a sudden ascent up to 9.7% in January 2025, and moderating at 8.8% in February 2025. Despite the efforts to diversify its economy, the dependence of certain sectors, such as technology, makes Finland more vulnerable to the fluctuations of the global economy, especially in agitated times such as those that are marking the Trump Tariff Policy. Again, just take a look at the unemployment figures of young people under 25 years to observe the same pattern of increase in the youth unemployment rate, which in February 2024 marked 18.1%, while in February 2025 it was already 20% The key to change for Spain: its young people. Observing youth employment data in Spain, there is a trend opposite to that of Sweden or Finland, with an unemployment rate in young people under 25 who has gone from 29.5% in February 2022, to 25.5% in February 2025. Again, without these bright figures, if they mark a sustained trend that is reflected in their total unemployment figures. Unlike what happened in Sweden, the Reform of Vocational Training (FP) in Spain Yes has had a good answerfacilitating the insertion of young people in the labor market. According to INE data, youth employment has marked a strong decrease in recent years, from 50.23% in the fourth quarter of 2021 for the strip from 16 to 19 years and 27.20% for the strip of between 20 and 24 years, to 38.79% and 22.02% respectively. Youth unemployment in Spain. Age strip from 16 to 19 years and 20 to 24 years Source: INE FP as a quarry again talent. According to Study data ‘How to promote professional training in Spain: recommendations on the basis of German and Austrian models‘prepared by the Royal Institute Elcano, around 50% of the Employment opportunities in 2025 They will be reserved for people with the qualification of the Superior Technician for Vocational Training, evidencing that the labor market needs new qualified talent. This data is complemented with the published By the Ministry of Education, Professional Training and Sports, which shows that the number of FP students increased during the 2022-23 course by 32.6%, highlighting especially in higher degree students, who had increased by 41.9%. Much to do. Despite the advances in the reduction of unemployment, especially youth, Spain still has a long way to go and is far from power celebrate your unemployment data. The Spanish labor market remains vulnerable to seasonality due to the preeminence of hospitality and tourism dependence. In comparison, countries such as the Netherlands (3.8%), and especially Germany (3.5%), with a serious crisis that keeps its economy on the edge of the recession, have managed to maintain their unemployment rates under control thanks to a strong investment in the Formation of their young people already efficient active employment policies.

manufactures its pieces in Mexico

by

20%tariffs, to begin with all the countries of the European Union. That has been one of Donald Trump’s great ads last morning. The president of the United States has confirmed an almost endless list of new taxes to a total of 200 countries and regions. And, in addition, some specific ones are maintained. Among them, those related to the automobile industry. 25%. That is the tax that The United States Government will charge To all cars and pieces to make cars that enter through its borders. At least that is the intention of the US administration that has maintained these rates despite the concrete impositions to countries or organizations. This implies that a car that is manufactured in the United States will also have to pay A 25% extra cost For each and every one of the pieces that have been exported to the country. For example, if the battery of an electric car is manufactured outside its borders, said vehicle will have 25% of that battery. Tariffs to countries. This measure has not prevented Donald Trump from announcing new tariffs yesterday night. These new economic walls country will apply by country (or the sum of them, like the European Union). Implies that Europe will pay 20% For each and every one of the exports that makes the United States. Spain, for example, has in its Olive wine and oil exports to the United States as one of its main markets. If you want to continue operating in the country, companies will have to pay 20% more for their products to enter through their borders. However, these generalized tariffs do not apply if a specific industry has a higher tax. As 25% to the automobile industry is greater than 20% that the products of the European Union receive, the highest section is applied. Little affected … The automobile industry in Spain will be little affected. At least directly. This occurs because most of the cars that are manufactured in Spain are small and of contained prices. That is, they are The perfect product to sell in the European Union That, in fact, it is with much the main buyer of cars Made in Spain. In fact, mass vehicles are not exported to the United States. Some time ago it was done with the Mercedes Vito and the Ford Transit. However, no car or van is currently sent. … more or less. That the automobile industry does not directly suffer the designs of the new United States government does not mean that 20% tariffs to the European Union and 25% to cars are not a problem. Keep in mind that with such high tariffs an increase in short -term prices is expected, which, in turn, results in an economic deceleration and lower consumption. It is a threat to Germany, that does not go through its best moment And it is also the main car buyer in Spain. Of course, it is not good news that the European buyer has less money in his pocket. The component industry. Those who will be more affected by the 25% tariff to the non -American car are component manufacturers to produce cars. This industry represents more than 25.6 billion euros in Spain, According to Sernauto data. The Spanish Association of Automotive Suppliers (SERNAUTO) points out that 65% of the exports that Spain carries out in this sector are destined for the European Union, adding more than 16,600 million euros. Again, Germany (3,950 million euros) and France (3,840 million euros) were the main commercial partners. The role of the United States is much more content. It is the eighth country by business volume to which Spain exports its components. However, the association indicates that it is a strategic market, with high added value and key indirect dependencies. Beyond the direct tax. Beyond the 1,021 million euros that the export of components for automotive to the United States is calculated, the sector is enduring breathing because it ensures that the Spanish component industry has a great presence in Mexico. So much Mexico like Canada await What measures Donald Trump finally takes with these countries. Historical commercial allies, the president of the United States has repeatedly threatened them with raising new levies against them. This would be a greater coup for the interests of Spanish companies. In addition, we must add that an increase in the price of the products that Germany exports to the United States can force productive costs to be cut and, therefore, other commercial partners are studied. Here, it is impressible for Spain to remain competitive so as not to be replaced by suppliers that offer their products at a lower price. Government response. For the moment, The European Union waits until April 9 To vote what measures it takes against tariffs that the United States to Imports of Steel and Aluminum (keys also in vehicle production). Besides, hope to have this Friday A meeting with American representatives. From the Government, Pedro Sánchez has announced that a source of support to the sectors affected by exports worth 14,100 million euros will open. Of these, 6,000 million euros in two ICO guarantees of 6,000 million, a 200 million euros investment support fund for new plants and the network mechanism “to maintain templates similar to how ERTe acted during the pandemic”, in words collected by The country.

Police have proven to be faster confiscating him

by

Exceed speed limits It has consequences. In some cases, the infraction does not exceed some hundred euros and a good review of Card pointswhile the most serious can punish themselves with jail sentences. An Austrian driver who stopped for Circular at 123 km/h With his bugatti chiron, he would have preferred any of the aforementioned sanctions, in order not to have to face the punishment that the Austrian police imposed: seized his car. Bugatti Chiron runs a lot, sir agent A driver in Austria was arrested by the police for leading 123 km/h in an area where the maximum limit was 60 km/h. This speeding, which represents more than double the allowed limit, led the police to apply the usual regulations in these cases: the immediate confiscation of its bugatti chiron. According to him Austrian medium Heutethe incident occurred in the famous Ringstrasse of Vienna, a ring -avenue surrounding the center of Vienna with a 60 km/h speed limit. A Patrol equipped with a mobile radar He took positions in the immediate vicinity of Parliament to control speed infractions in that area. What they did not expect is that they would end up stopping and confiscating a car with 1,500 hp driving twice the speed allowed by a city with such restrictive traffic standards. In his defense, the 38 -year -old driver alleged that the supercar, who carried German registration, belonged to a friend, but this did not prevent the authorities from confiscating the car immediately, as collect in a video Uploaded to YouTube by a witness. In addition to the confiscation of the vehicle, the driver also lost his driving license on the spot. This incident underlines the seriousness with which Austria is trying the Serious traffic infractions, a regulation that It has endorsed recently to dissuade offenders. Touch the image to go to the original message Traffic Law in Austria Austria has recently implemented stricter laws against speeding, allowing vehicle confiscation in cases of serious infractions. This regulation applies to drivers who Speed ​​limits exceedin an effort to reduce accidents and improve road safety in the country. The regulation establishes that, in case of exceeding the limit out of the town in 50 km/ho more than 30 km/h in town, the driver will run out of driving license. In this case, the Chiron driver doubled this maximum limit of 30 km/h when driving at 123 km/h. In addition to these limitations, it is specified that if it circulates above the speed limit at 60 km/h in a populated area (in this case the limit was exceeded at 63 km/h) the car will be retained a maximum of 14 days. The confiscation of luxury vehicles such as Bugatti Chiron sends a clear message that no one is above the law, regardless of its economic status. The Austrian government has been interested in selling the cars it seized, but as the driver claimed at the time of the seizure, he was not the owner of the Support, the procedure would be complicated since it would be necessary to decide whether the property of the owner or responsibility of the driver prevails. 2.5 seconds were enough The bugatti chiron is An exceptional hypercocheequipped with a 8.0 -liter W16 engine and four turbocharger that produces 1,500 hp and 1,600 nm of motor torque. With these benefits, it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.4 seconds, so a pressure on the accelerator of just over a second would be enough to far exceed the speed limits of the ringstrasse.

The new US tariffs penalize Taiwan almost as much as China. And its chips industry is the most damaged

by

The tariffs imposed by the administration led by Donald Trump They are here. The current US president has used this pressure tool throughout his electoral campaign, and just two and a half months after returning to the White House is running your promise. These taxes affect most of the countries with which the US maintains a commercial relationship, among which Spain is, but Taiwan presumably is One of the most damaged. And it is that the Trump government is determined to do everything necessary for the US to recover leadership in the semiconductor manufacturing industry. At the moment In Asia they occur 90% of memory chips, 75% of microprocessors and 80% of silicon wafers. However, the most outstanding country in this continent in this sector is Taiwan, with a production of 90% of high integration chips and 41% of microprocessors. This is the exemplary punishment to Taiwan: some tariffs of 32% The US administration is already taking the necessary measures to cause US companies to buy integrated circuits made of homeland. The tariffs you are approving They largely pursue this objective, and, despite the alignment in the geopolitical field that support the US and Taiwan, the manufacturers of Taiwanese chips are not at all safe from the tariffs. In fact, Donald Trump made a statement at the end of January which he presented his intentions with total. “In the very close future we will impose tariffs on foreign production of computer chips, semiconductors and pharmaceutical products to return the manufacture of these essential goods to the US” “In the very close future we will impose tariffs on foreign production of computer chips, semiconductors and pharmaceutical products to return the manufacture of these essential goods to the US (…) went to Taiwan; Now we want them to return. We do not want to give them billions of dollars in the ridiculous Biden program. They already have billions of dollars. They don’t need money; They need an incentive. And the incentive will be that they do not want to pay a tax of 25, 50, or even 100%, ” The current US president declared. The near future of which speech has already arrived. As explained The countryon Vietnam there are 46%tariffs; About Cambodia, 49%; over China, 34%; and about Taiwan, 32%. The case of the nation led by Xi Jinping is a bit special because the new tariffs approved by the administration of Donald Trump are added to those who had been deployed by the US government previously, which makes a total of 54%. Even so, to some extent it is surprising that Taiwan comes out so disadvantaged. In any case, in regard to this last country, this measure is consistent with the statements in which Donald Trump anticipated that he wants the US to recover leadership in the semiconductor industry. However, Taiwan still has an oxygen ball, although It seems that it will not last long. And is that an epigraph of the newly announced tariff plan Expressalthough in an unclear way, that tariffs for some specific products, such as semiconductors or medicines, will not yet come into force. In that case they will presumably be temporarily subject to the universal tariff of 10%.

The doors of green hydrogen from Spain have found its starting point: the Basque Country

by

While Spain account With several hot green hydrogen points, infrastructure for distribution, such as H2Med, still Keep in development. However, the Basque Country has emerged as a new channel. Short. The H2BIDEA project, coordinated by Nortegas, aims to boost the development of a pure hydrogen distribution network in the Basque Country. The initiative will have the aid of the company Tubos gathered, in charge of creating the special tubes where high pressure hydrogen (160 bar) will be transported. A great initiative. Through a consortium of Basque companies, H2bidea It is cemented The pillars for the Basque Corridor of Hydrogen (BH2C). With this corridor they seek to establish an interconnected green hydrogen infrastructure that facilitates its transport and distribution, both regional and European. In three years, H2BIDEA hopes to have a distribution network demonstrator called H2TESTLAB, which will allow evaluating the efficacy of the installed infrastructure, according to has had notic access from Álava. Mass support. The project has the support of the Basque Government and the European Union, as well as with the collaboration of the Basque Companies Consortium, such as Arizaga, Bastarrica and Company (ABC Compressors), Orkli, Commercial of Electronic Applications (FIDEGAS) and Calcinor Servicios. It is not the only one. Because Spain continues to advance in the creation of more projects, such as the Mediterranean corridor (H2Med). This development initiative intends to interconnect Spain, France and Portugal by 2030 in what will be the first European hydrogen infrastructure. However, in recent weeks, has faced a controversy In Zamora on the use of water in the production of green hydrogen. More challenges at European level. A recent study by West Wood Energy consultant has estimated that only 17% of green hydrogen projects in the continent will materialize within five years. In that context, According to a Global Energy Monitor reportEurope faces difficulties to fulfill its decarbonization strategy due to the shortage of hydrogen produced in a renewable way. The limited amount of available green hydrogen and the slow progress of the announced projects question the viability of the energy transition plans of the continent. From another perspective. The Basque Corridor is an initiative that has emerged as a strategic point for the production and export of green hydrogen. In this way, it joins the ambitious plans of Spain to become a European green hydrogen leader. In fact, recently, the Spanish nation launched A hydrogen project with an investment of 1,214 million euros from the NextGneu funds.

Is Nintendo Switch 2 penalty?

by

The noise generated by Nintendo Switch 2. In a generous direct one hour, the Japanese company presented almost all the details of its new console. Command functions, launch catalog and titles that will be to come. The event hangover was longsince after it we find out about the price, of the increase in the price of games and of issues such as ‘Broadcast’ Reserve System. Since yesterday, several friends have asked me if they reserve Nintendo Switch 2. I have been raising a few hours What will I do when the machine goes on sale And then I will try to answer that great question a little if, as a Nintendo Switch user, Nintendo Switch 2 is worth penalty. To do so, I am going to put myself in the skin of the different profiles of players that can feel identified at this time. Switch user since April 2017 Eight years have passed since the launch of the previous console and you will surely have played all the great exclusive that have been launched for the machine. You may be updated to the model OLED To have a better experience when you are not on TV, but if your profile is a user ‘dedicated’ to switch taking advantage of that hybrid model it proposes, I think it is a good idea to buy Nintendo Switch 2 of launch. In the absence of seeing the screen of the new console, moving from a good OLED to a LCD (by a lot of resolution, 120 fps and HDR that has) seems like a step back, but in the dong to Switch the seams have been noticeable for a long time, a lot of time. The purchase of the first is more than amortized and, although you could continue for a time with switch and make the jump to Switch 2 in the future, play ‘Mario Kart World‘ and ‘Doneky Kong Baniza‘In summer, as well as that future’Metroid Prime 4: Beyond‘With improvements, it will be a taste. In addition, and obviously, in the Direct we saw a lot of multiplatform games. If you are only Nintendo user, titles like ‘Elden Ring‘,’Yakuza 0‘ either ‘Cyberpunk 2077‘, among others that will arrive, open a huge fan for a switch catalog that is already dilated. And that for not having the retrocompatibility with all Switch physical and digital games that you have not yet played or added such as the Gamecube emulation in Nintendo Online. As I say, in this case (player who only has switch), I think that making the jump to Switch 2 launch is a good idea. And let it go in summer is a good incentive to enjoy it for hours, hours and hours with games already thrown or with which they will come. You have switch, but also another platform You may have a launch switch, but you have also been doing with a Xbox Series x or one PS5. Maybe also with a Steam Deck Because that portable game already supplies Nintendo Switch, but you wanted a ‘cyberpunk 2077’ portable. Or you had switch for laptop and lounge plus one Gaming PC in conditions. Come on, you give all the sticks. Here it will depend on something very important: how long does Nintendo want to stretch the first switch with its exclusive. That is, in this case, you use the other platform for its exclusive and multiplatform, but Switch may have it for what you want to play in laptops plus those that you can only play in a Nintendo machine. Games like ‘Metroid Prime 4: Beyond’ will also arrive at Switch Switch 2 would make the same meaning as Switch, but if Nintendo continues to launch its games on both machines once the successor and the exclusive Switch 2 do not call you for the moment, maybe waiting is a good idea. It all depends, in this case, the games: if you want to play ‘Mario Kart World’ because the saga flips, You have no choice but to buy the new console Because it will be exclusive to her. If what calls you is ‘Metroid Prime 4: Beyond’, it will also be on switch. As I say, a switch 2 makes sense for the exclusive Nintendo if you already have other platforms in which to play the rest of third companies catalog, but if the games that interest you still appear in your switch, perhaps waiting for a price reduction or a second -hand offer for Switch 2 is not a bad idea. Are you laptop or desktop? Casual or more jugon? In this case I will raise a double melon because here I have a very clear answer depending on your style of play. Here it will give the same if you only have switch or more platforms: the new console makes you tilín and you want to buy it, without more, so I will not value more cases than how much you play and in what format. And I have it so clear that I will summarize it a lot: Yes resounding. If you play more in desktop mode, Switch 2 is a good purchase. What has been said above: Switch has been dragging for a long time and Switch 2 is updated in resolution and performance. In desktop and large screen is where video games are most noticeable, so seeing titles at more resolution, with more definition of textures and with that support for 60 fps or 120 fps in 1080p, as well as HDR support, is interesting. And if you are very jug, I say the same. No, at least for the moment. If you play in laptop, especially if you have an OLED, I consider that you can wait for it to get off. The Switch 2 resolution is 1080p, has HDR and 120 Hz in the panel, but in the end they are still 7.9 inches and yes, that increase in definition in image and textures is noted, but when playing on … Read more
