The problem with wind and solar power is that they are weather-dependent and intermittent. Renewables don’t balance supply with demand. They supply too much power when it isn’t needed (e.g., in the middle of the day) and minimal power at other times, including the evening peak. This solar glut can also force energy regulators to The post Albo launches new energy gimmick appeared first on MacroBusiness. |

The government is trying to set us against our ecosystems. We must resist this Trumpian gambit. By George Monbiot, published in the Guardian 16th October 2025 Crucial to the government’s war on nature is the “cauldron principle”. If a species is to be blamed for “holding up development”, it must be one you might find in a witch’s cauldron.

His work populates the earlier chapters of textbooks on the history of economic thought, where he is credited with being a pioneer in starting the Neoclassical School of Economics. |
