Congress has gotten bad at being Congress

It’s impressive how little the GOP managed to get done legislatively despite controlling the White House and both chambers of Congress.

Millions of Americans remain at jobs they hate for one reason: the health insurance they receive. That’s absurd.

Universal health care will give Americans the freedom to choose the work they want without worrying about health care coverage.

2025 comes to an end.

It’s been a strong year for deployment and innovation, but a worrying one for energy politics.

Moves like the US pause on offshore wind show how quickly progress can be undermined by polarised debate.

Here’s hoping 2026 brings calmer, more evidence-based energy policymaking.

Guys, Trump doesn’t care about Christians in Africa and it’s not really about the Nigerian oil.

It’s the rare earth minerals.

Nigeria has exploded in rare earth mineral production in the last couple of years. In fact, it is the number five rare earth mineral producer on the planet.
