Two Japanese nominees won prizes at the Academy Awards last weekend. Animator Hayao Miyazaki won for the film Boy and the Heron his second Oscar for Best Animated Feature, and Takashi Yamazaki took it with his monster movie Godzilla Minus One took home the prize for best visual effects. The Oscar success is well received in its own country, where the awards are seen as global recognition.

Yet there was a gray cloud hanging over the victories: after winning the Oscars, in Japan it was not just about the films, but mainly about the attitude of various prize winners towards their Asian colleagues.

In the immediate aftermath of several incidents, social media platforms in Japan were flooded with messages about anti-Asian discrimination. Thousands of users shared their personal experiences with discrimination under the (translated) hashtags #Asians and #racism.

Former winners ignored

Upon receiving the award for Best Supporting Actor, for his role as Lewis Strauss in Oppenheimer, Robert Downey Jr. takes the Oscar statue from the hands of former winner Ke Huy Quan, which he completely ignores.

Best Actress winner Emma Stone is also under fire after an awkward interaction with former winner Michelle Yeoh. She attempted to hand over the gold statue, after which fellow actress Jennifer Lawrence appeared to pull the award from her hands and gave it to Stone.

					A numerical substantiation?
NB Electricity traders (Eneco, Vattenfal, etc., etc.) buy electricity from power stations and sell it to us.  They purchase electricity months in advance.  This way, the power stations know when to produce how much electricity.  These are agreed amounts.  There is always a little variation.  That electricity is traded on the spot market.  These amounts are determined one day in advance.  These are the ‘leftover electricity’ that the power stations still have to use or the electricity traders still have to purchase.For example, the electricity traders then purchased 98% with fixed amounts, and the last 2% on the spot market.In the past, almost all electricity sales were done this way.  It was easy and predictable.  Prices were therefore stable.  Also on the spot market,Due to the crazy amount of solar panels and wind turbines we all have now, it is very difficult to predict how much power they will need in 3 months.  It is not possible to reasonably determine whether July 13th this year will be VERY sunny or whether it will be bad weather.  Either way.  On the spot market it is impossible to predict whether there will be a huge overproduction of all those solar panels or not.If there is a VERY high overproduction, the electricity is not worth anything.  If it is very cloudy, yes.Now comes the crux.  The electricity that I supply back to my electricity supplier with my solar panels MUST be used again.  You cannot store energy (Physics 101).  You can convert it to something else, but in the case of such amounts of electricity that is unrealistic.  In short.  It just goes up.  So my electricity dealer has to sell it on the spot market.  The value is zero.  But because of the netting arrangement, they have to give me a fixed amount.If 5% of your customers have panels, you can resell that power from your customers to your customers without panels.  No problem.  However, if 50% of your customers have panels, you suddenly have a LOT of power that you cannot use.  Because all those panels feed back at the same time.At the same time, they have of course also purchased electricity for a fixed amount in case the weather turns bad.  They also have to put the surplus that they purchased 3 months ago back on the spot market.So let’s say it’s sunny.Then their customers supply a LOT of electricity.  That electricity is not worth anything on the spot market, but they do have to ‘balance’ their customers.  That easily costs 10ct per kWh.  Plus they have to resell the electricity they had already purchased 3 months ago.  (It is not unusual for the electricity price to fall below 0)Suppose it’s bad weather.Then their customers supply little to no electricity.  The electricity on the spot market is expensive.  They have to purchase that electricity for their customers.This is essentially the problem.  The electricity traders have an outdated business model for the current times.  At the same time, people seem to want ‘certainty’ for their electricity rates.  And that is no longer possible these days.The day-ahead electricity sellers (a la Zonneplan) respond to this.  They only purchase on the spot market.  Their customers only receive the spot price for their kWhs supplied back, and they also pay little if they purchase electricity in sunny weather.Now I’m not saying that we should feel sorry for the electricity traders, but this is the basis of their problem.  There is of course an entrepreneurial risk factor, but due to the large differences in electricity prices and the risk buffers they have to create for this, they would have to make really stupid margins (per kWh), which will make everything stupidly expensive.
