Interesting study from researchers at UCL on how wind power has held down energy costs in the long term. The key argument is that it has lowered gas prices in Europe by reducing demand for gas. And actually most of the savings are on gas, not electricity bills www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Four key channels creating pension wealth inequality in changing pension landscape by @bbonizzi.bsky.social et al -greater inequality of pension contributions -lack of redistributive mechanisms within pension schemes -missed contributions over time -unequal capacity to take on risks

3 'species' of green central banking from @cornelban.bsky.social: "Europe’s is legalistic, incremental, built for credibility. China’s is directive, experimental, built for speed. And America’s, if it can be called a species at all, is reactionary—guarding the fossil order while the seas rise."

When central banks were asked to "do smth" about climate, the Fed sat it out, the ECB experimented then retreated but the PBOC planned green and brown money at scale. geoeconomic.substack.com/p/central-ba...

Orkney Council has confirmed all profits from its new wind farm will go into local services - wealth will circulate locally, not flow to distant shareholders. It's a glimpse of what community benefit from renewables can look like. But how typical is this? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Love this forensic analysis of the ECB's discourse around rate hikes during the 2021-23 inflation shock. A brief sellers inflation – aka Another-World-Is-Possible – moment (blue), before the empire (green) strikes back with overwhelming force.

Paths to Power (PtP) is out in @bjpols.bsky.social! It is a database with data on cabinet members' social profile globally from 1966-2021. This is a great team effort with @chknutsen.bsky.social, @peterla.bsky.social, @inalkristiansen.bsky.social. But many more helped us along the way 🙏 A short 🧵

Exactly. "Corporation tax data should focus on the parent" - Brian Cronin, Irish Fiscal Advisory Council.

Interesting from @ejprjournal.bsky.social, @steven-vanhauwaert.bsky.social et al. Different context, but this 'authoritarian nostalgia' has relevance for shifts in cultural politics even if not evidenced in electoral politics (yet) e.g. in post-catholic(ish?) Ireland

UNRWA’s humanitarian supplies are sitting in warehouses outside #Gaza - banned from entering by Israeli Authorities. We have enough food for the entire population for 3 months stuck in Egypt & Jordan. There’s no more time to lose - we need a green light to start bringing in UNRWA’s aid immediately
