The presence of Yemeni mercenaries in Russia reflects a larger trend of burgeoning relations between Moscow & the Houthis. However, this relationship should not be interpreted as a full-fledged strategic alliance.

Cooperation between the Houthis and Moscow is deepening. What does that mean for the group’s position in Iran’s network of allies and Tehran’s relations with Russia?

« By focusing on the carbon intensity of energy systems and the actual energy delivered to end-users, policymakers can better align their goals with the realities of a renewable-powered future »
Have we been duped by the primary energy fallacy?
Critics of renewables often say that we cannot possibly replace the vast amount of fossil fuel we currently use with clean energy.
The good news is that we don’t have to. My article in Medium explains why.
