How the pound, euro and dollar could boost your returns
One of the defining economic themes since the EU referendum last June has been the sharp slump in the pound, by close to a fifth against the dollar and 10 per cent against the euro. However, the drop in the pound is just one facet of a global foreign exchange story that has at its heart a much more familiar theme: the strength of the dollar.
You buy fair trade coffee, but where does your energy come from?
Consumers are increasingly conscientious in their shopping habits, but pay little heed to the provenance of their power. Take the source of that coffee in that cup in front of you. Where’s it from? Is it ‘fair’? Who supplied it? How much does it cost? Is it ‘green’ or ‘organic’? In contrast, energy, electricity and power aren’t regarded with such evident consideration and curiosity, although paying an expensive utility bill certainly provokes its fair share of worry and concern.
Nuclear and the politics of energy security
Nuclear appears to be back in vogue. Here at home, after a protracted debate, work is about to start on a new fleet of nuclear plants that could in the future provide as much as 35 per cent of the UK’s electricity.
Can the world meet its climate change targets without nuclear?
Nuclear power is, for some, the black sheep of the low-carbon energy family. On the one hand you’ve got the ‘greens’: wind, solar and hydro. All of them are exceedingly clean, or at least, they seem so. As clean as a cool breeze, as a sunny day, as a rushing river. Then you’ve got nuclear. That cold-war harkening cousin of the low-carbon family.
