More than anything else, we are told the American people are angry because globalization took all the manufacturing jobs that were once so abundant in the US and exported them to places like Mexico, China, Vietnam, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.
A new analysis has concluded that by increasing the global share of renewable energy to 36% would increase global GDP by up to $1.3 trillion. According to a new report published by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Renewable Energy Benefits: Measuring the Economics, released today, increasing the global share of … [continued]
Originally published on OilPrice. By Charles Kennedy Crude oil just capped off a third straight week of declines, as WTI nears the $40 per barrel threshold.
