Donald Trump’s energy plan, centred around “energy dominance” and a renewed focus on fossil fuels, poses significant challenges for the green economy and clean energy investing. By rolling back Biden-era regulations that supported renewable energy manufacturing, EV production, and emissions reductions, Trump’s policies could slow the pace of the energy transition in the US. This […]
Donald Trump’s energy plan, centred on “energy dominance” through fossil fuels, poses significant challenges for the green economy and clean energy investing. By rolling back Biden-era regulations, the plan could slow the momentum of renewable energy sectors, such as wind, solar, and electric vehicles (EVs). These sectors have benefited from substantial government support and private […]
Paragraphs:The global energy transition is altering the economic landscape, creating new opportunities and challenges for regions heavily reliant on oil and gas. Alberta, a major oil and gas producer, has long depended on the U.S. for refining and value-added processing, leaving it vulnerable to external market forces and global shifts. As the world moves toward […]
The green economy is witnessing transformative shifts, driven by surging EV adoption. In 2024, global EV sales reached 16.7 million units, with projections of 22 million units for 2025, accounting for 27% of global auto sales. China leads this revolution, dominating EV production, sales, and battery manufacturing, controlling 65% of global EV sales and 52% […]
The US dollar’s rally has intensified, reaching its strongest level in four decades, supported by robust domestic growth and heightened global uncertainties. This “smile” effect—strength in times of both economic growth and risk aversion—poses significant challenges for the green economy. As markets brace for potential tariffs under Trump’s administration, currency fluctuations could impact trade flows […]
As inflation moderates, the green economy stands to benefit from more favourable macroeconomic conditions, particularly in financing and labour. Falling inflation generally leads to lower interest rates, reducing the cost of borrowing for capital-intensive renewable energy projects. This creates a more supportive environment for expanding wind, solar, and other renewable initiatives. However, wage trends reveal […]
In-Depth Analysis The rise in bond yields, both in the US and globally, presents a mixed bag for the green economy and sustainable investing. On one hand, higher yields increase the cost of financing large-scale renewable energy projects, potentially slowing the adoption of clean energy technologies. Governments aiming to meet ambitious climate targets could struggle […]
The New World Order and Its Impact on the Green Economy The world stands at a tipping point, as political and fiscal decision-making gains precedence over central bank independence. This power shift, exacerbated by the possible return of Donald Trump to the White House, is forcing nations to adopt increasingly protectionist and crisis-driven policies. For […]
The increasing focus on private markets is shaping the trajectory of green investments. Pension funds, constrained by the shrinking pool of public equities, have turned to private equity and debt, despite concerns over high fees and exposure to interest rate risks. This shift aligns well with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) objectives, which are becoming […]
The “CEO Killer” narrative has emerged as a stark commentary on the systemic issues plaguing corporate leadership and governance, particularly in the United States. While the term may sound sensational, it reflects growing disillusionment with short-termism, greed, and the erosion of values that once underpinned sustainable growth. Some believe these challenges mirror the decline of […]
