GDP and AL industry included, here’s how the world could double prosperity while using less energy

There’s a neat paradox at the heart of the clean-energy debate: richer societies typically use more energy, yet the latest modelling from the Energy Transitions Commission (ETC) suggests we can (provided that we choose to) have a lot more of the good things that energy delivers (travel, cooling,...

High time to invest in Africa’s solar potential! Why? It records the highest ‘sunshine’ on Earth

Africa is blessed with sunshine. In fact, the African Development Bank notes that the continent has “almost unlimited” solar potential, roughly 10,000 gigawatts (10 terawatts) of capacity. This equates to more than 50 times the world’s current power needs. Yet ironies abound. Some 600 million...

In defence of aluminium: Why science is pushing back against Trump’s vaccine claims

An analytical comprehension of the MSCI ACWI IMI Aluminium Index

The MSCI ACWI IMI Aluminium Index — a narrow, commodity-dependent equity yardstick that tracks 19 aluminium-sub-industry companies across developed and emerging markets reads like a textbook case of high concentration and high cyclicality.
