The global electric power business is changing. The economic hegemony of fossil fuels (and perhaps nuclear as well) is gradually being undermined by the adoption of renewable generating technologies such as solar and wind.  This economic and technological transition resembles warfare or a sporting event with distinct winners and losers. Our argument is based on a stunningly non-controversial premise—namely, that superior, lower-cost technologies producing an identical commodity eventually achieve dominance. Let’s look at a previous…

The EV charger story is being treated like a consumer inconvenience – a queueing problem, a pricing problem, a reliability problem. It’s none of those first. It’s an infrastructure and grid stability problem dressed up as a charging debate. It was reported that this week that the UK has nearly 88,000 charge points, while government estimates suggest we may need 250,000 to 550,000 by 2030. Even the lower end implies a sustained build rate far above what we’ve normalised as “progress”. And it’s not just the…

The Saudi giant’s financial arc in 2024–2025 shows the story of a behemoth caught between two irreconcilable demands: it needs not only to act as the Kingdom’s principal fiscal engine but also to sustain the…
