Renewable energy is cheaper and healthier – so why isn’t it replacing fossil fuels faster?
Politics is just one challenge. The cost of borrowing to build wind and solar farms is another, especially in fast-growing developing countries. There are solutions.

Pennsylvania Trump voters are voicing regret. One business owner who helps families stay financially afloat says clients can’t afford daycare, food, or anything after bills. Has Trump fixed it? “Absolutely not.” They’re stunned at how much worse everything has gotten.

Tariffs apply to goods, not services. Zero in on the goods-producing sector, and you'll discover that it's hemorrhaging jobs. Indeed, the start of the trade war marks the peak in that sector, and it's been in recession ever since.

This is what it looks like when the younger generations take the lead.
The youth needs to be empowered to use their voice, it is through them that this regime will fall. It is through them that new leaders will rise. The future is theirs.

The Trump-Putin plan to end the Ukraine war would reward Russia’s aggression.
But even if Ukraine rejects it, the talks excluded Ukraine and Europe, adopting Russia’s frame of the US and Russia settling imperial spheres of influence.
For Putin, it’s win-win.

Trump’s plan for peace in Ukraine is a win-win for Russia
Opinion | Given the U.S. president's behavior toward Putin, it was unlikely the Trump administration would seriously pressure Moscow

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.
