Green Energy vs. Oil and Gas: Who Wins Over the Next 20 Years

If you hold shares in oil companies, are planning to invest in solar panels, or simply pay your heating bill, the outcome of this race will shape your financial reality for the next two decades - not some abstract "environmental agenda."

Burning to Spite Russia: How EU Sanctions Left Spain Without Its Best Firefighting Helicopters

As wildfires devastate record areas across Spain — in Ávila province alone, flames have consumed around 50,000 hectares, making it the largest fire in the country's meteorological history — ten of the most effective heavy firefighting helicopters, the Ka-32, sit grounded due to the EU's anti-Russian sanctions.
