The UK is more than doubling the funding for a so-called Clean Industry Bonus to support offshore wind projects, just as the world’s biggest offshore wind project developer, Orsted, pulled the plug on a major UK plan due to worsened economics. The UK government announced on Friday that it is bumping up the budget for the Clean Industry Bonus to $722 million (£544 million) from an initial $265 million (£200 million). Under the Labour government’s plan to make Britain a clean energy superpower, the UK has introduced the Clean…

Solar radiation storms happen when a large-scale magnetic eruption from the sun accelerates charged particles in the solar atmosphere to very high velocities. This can cause protons to get accelerated to large fractions of the speed of light, meaning they can travel the 150 million km from the sun to the Earth in just tens of minutes. Once they reach the Earth, the rapidly moving protons break through the magnetosphere that shields Earth from lower-energy charged particles to land near the north and south poles. A major disturbance in the Earth’s…

On paper, the EU is phasing out Russian gas. A ban on new contracts kicks in by 2025, and the goal is full independence by 2027. That’s the public position, reinforced by press releases, parliamentary votes, and the REPowerEU strategy. But behind the curtain? Brussels is playing a double game. The truth is this: Europe wants Russian gas—it just doesn’t want to be seen wanting it. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the U.S. and Qatar is expensive. Infrastructure is uneven. And political unity across 27 member states is mostly a fiction…

Last weekend, at the Berkshire Hathaway (BRKB) shareholders meeting, Warren Buffett surprised everyone except his two children, who were the only people he had told beforehand, by announcing that he would be retiring as the company’s CEO. I guess we shouldn’t have been surprised that a 94-year-old wanted to retire, but Buffett’s boundless energy and enthusiasm for investing created an illusion that he would go on forever. He didn’t, of course, but much of his investing advice will. Warren Buffett was enormously successful…

It’s been a busy first half of the year, geopolitically, and this week has been no different, with the India-Pakistan conflict erupting into airstrikes, more back-and-forth on the tariff front, ISIS rearing its head in repositioning Syria, more cracks in the Libyan power architecture, and the hatching of a European plan to ban Russian gas fully by 2027 (but please can we find a way to get Russian gas that is … less obvious?). India and Pakistan are sliding into their most dangerous confrontation in years. After a deadly Kashmir attack…
