One notable record Investment in solar outpaced that in oil for the first time last year, according to the International Energy Agency, which released a report recently on global energy the world is still investing far too much in fossil fuels, the Paris-based group warned. Investment in that sector is currently double the maximum amount that would be allowed if nations are to meet their stated pledges to reduce emissions, the IEA said. A growing gapSince 2018, far more funding has been put into clean-energy development than into fossil fuels, and the gap continues to grow. Last year saw a record $ trillion invested globally into energy sector, of which more than $ trillion is dedicated to clean energy. "For every dollar invested in fossil fuels, about dollars are now going into clean energy. Five years ago, this ratio was one-to-one," IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol said in a statement. "One shining example is investment in solar, which is set to overtake the amount of investment going into oil production for the first time."Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine which began last year boosted demand for energy of all types, raising investment in fossil fuel as well as clean power. The war set off a price spike in oil and gas, of which Russia is a major producer — supplying about 12% of the world's crude oil and nearly half of the European Union's natural gas. Investors responded by doubling down on all options, throwing money into developing gas and oil sources outside of Russia, as well as into new renewable energy developments that don't need gas at all. Natural gas is a fossil fuel that contributes to global warming. While it was long considered "cleaner" than older fuels, like coal and oil, recent research shows it could be much more damaging to the climate than previously thought, as its extraction releases large amounts of methane, a powerful heat-trapping rapid acceleration of clean-energy investment is good news for the world's pledge to meet its climate targets. If the pace of the last two years continues, "then aggregate spending in 2030 on low-emission power, grids and storage, and end-use electrification would exceed the levels required to meet the world's announced climate pledges," the IEA wrote. "For some technologies, notably solar, it would match the investment required to get on track for a stabilization in global average temperatures."However, that can only happen if planned oil and gas development is scaled back significantly, IEA warned. "The risks of locking in fossil fuel use are clear Fossil fuel investment in 2023 is now more than double the levels required to meet much lower demand in the [net zero emissions] scenario," the report found. Fossil fuel prices create a dilemmaThe still-high prices of fossil fuels, and oil and gas companies' record profits in the past year, have created a quandary for investors, who are eager to make more profits off commodity prices. "A key dilemma for investors undertaking large, capital‐intensive gas supply projects is how to reconcile strong near‐term demand growth with uncertain and possibly declining longer-term demand," IEA the clean-energy boom is to continue, the agency said, another key point needs to be addressed Equality. So far, clean-power investment has been restricted to just a few countries — primarily China, the European Union and the "Remarkably, the increases in clean energy investment in advanced economies and China since 2021 exceed total clean energy investment in the rest of the world," the IEA found. The high upfront costs of clean-energy infrastructure and high interest rates mean that many developing countries aren't investing in renewables, even though their use, in the long term, would cost less than fossil fuels and would save lives, the IEA said. In the and many developed nations, meanwhile, the need for multiple approvals for an energy project, often taking years or even decades, has slowed down the buildout of clean energy.

There’s something about Trump’s essence that maddens all former children who long ago always did the assigned reading, only to see their lazy bully classmate bloviate their way into the Ivy League thanks to their rich dad. “At long last he’s paying the price for not following the rules,” we think. And yet, there’s something discordant about hearing from the New York Times that this is “the first time a former president has faced federal charges.” The Washington Post made the same point, with a subheadline saying, “Political earthquake as GOP frontrunner is now first ex-president indicted by the DOJ.” Your disquiet may grow if you truly consider that no president has ever been impeached, convicted, and removed from office. Richard Nixon was not even impeached; he resigned before the House could vote after the Judiciary Committee approved three articles of impeachment. Bill Clinton was impeached, and Trump was impeached twice, but both were acquitted in their Senate trials. How can this be? Trump is extremely bad, and honestly, I’m still smiling today as I imagine him screaming, “UNFAIR!” at the squirrels on his New Jersey golf course. But it makes no sense to believe he’s the only president in American history who’s ever acted so maliciously that he deserves to face potential consequences. To understand this, you might want to read “Murder on the Orient Express,” the 1934 mystery by Agatha Christie. In the novel, detective Hercule Poirot boards the famous train in Istanbul. There are only 14 other passengers in first and second class. On the second night, the train is forced to stop in Croatia due to a huge snowdrift, and the next morning, a businessperson named Samuel Ratchett is discovered dead in his cabin, indicating that the killer must still be on board. The evidence is peculiar. Ratchett has been stabbed 12 times, but some of the wounds appear to have been inflicted by someone who’s right-handed, and some appear to be from someone left-handed. Some came from someone extremely strong, some from someone weak. And a fusillade of other clues all point to different suspects on the train. Poirot considers it all and then gathers all the possible suspects together, along with his friend who’s a top executive of the railroad line. He suggests two theories of the case 1. The victim was murdered by someone who’s no longer on the train, who somehow got on board and then escaped unnoticed. 2. Ratchett was murdered by everyone. All the passengers had a motive to kill him, each one stabbed him, and no individual can rationally be held responsible separate from the others. Poirot says he’ll let his friend decide which theory makes the most sense. After pondering it briefly, his friend says it must have been the unknown stranger and that’s what he’ll tell the police. This is American politics — and politics generally — in miniature and why it’s nearly impossible for societies to punish the perpetrators of great crimes Anything terrible on a large scale demands broad elite endorsement and participation. When it comes to major evils, most people at the top must be guilty for it to happen in the first place. And so everyone gets away with it. Think about the Vietnam War. Lyndon Johnson and Nixon were most responsible for it, murdering perhaps two to four million people across Indochina. We don’t have a more exact number because we’ve never cared enough to make a serious effort to find out. But achieving this body count, far greater than any serial killer could ever dream of, obviously required buy-in from far more people than just these two presidents. How could any legitimate justice process convict just Johnson and Nixon? The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution passed in the House of Representatives 416-0 and in the Senate 88-2. Congress affirmatively voted to fund the war for years. Or take the war on terror, which appears to have caused million deaths. The post-9/11 Authorization for Use of Military Force flew through Congress with only a lone House member voting against it. Even Bernie Sanders voted yes. 296 members of the House and 77 senators voted for war with Iraq. As in “Murder on the Orient Express,” there was a lot of stabbing by a lot of people. This dynamic holds true to an extent even when a society is conquered. The Nuremberg trial process included prosecutions beyond the most famous Nazi officials. But of over 3,000 potential cases, most were dropped, and by the 1950s, those sentenced to prison had almost all been released — because the needed German elites to help us run Germany. The trials of Japanese war criminals were even less consequential for the same reasons, with Emperor Hirohito explicitly excluded from any responsibility. However, it is occasionally possible for societies to address minor crimes that major figures commit by themselves or with a small circle of cronies. Probably Trump’s most significant crime was his support for the Saudi war on Yemen, which has led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. But Trump shares his guilt with a large chunk of the political system, so that’s fine. It’s the hush money for Stormy Daniels and mishandling of classified documents that have tripped him up. I hate taking away from anyone’s enjoyment of Trump’s troubles, especially given the shameless delight that they’ve brought me. I understand the temptation to look at what’s happening and believe that the system works. The problem is that this is correct The system is working — it’s just not anything resembling a system of justice.
