Introduction to the Yellow Vest Movement It’s Sunday afternoon and ten people are gathered for a theater rehearsal in a community center in Lille, a city in northern France. Most of the amateur actors here didn’t meet through the art scene. They met during the “yellow vest” protests in France. The grassroots protest movement peaked in 2018 and 2019, when demonstrators in yellow high-visibility vests blocked streets across France in response to fuel tax increases intended to partially fund climate action. The Movement’s Decline and Legacy Since then, the movement, called “gilets jaunes” in French, has declined somewhat. Smaller, local…

Reflections on the Past Year There are many ways to reflect on the successes and failures of the past year. Different topics are important to different people. But the thing that all Americans care about is money. The cost of living was a deciding factor in Donald Trump’s victory. He promised to make the…
Introduction to New Safety Policy Thousands of North Sea oil workers are being told they must lose weight if they want to continue flying offshore – or risk losing their jobs. From November next year, the maximum clothed weight of a worker traveling at sea should be 124.7kg (19.5kg) – so they can be winched to safety in an emergency. Reason Behind the Policy The Coast Guard Rescue Helicopter’s maximum winch load of 500 pounds (39 kg) is made up of this number plus the average weight of a rescue worker of 200 pounds (14 kg), a 50 pound (4.5…
Introduction to America’s Energy Emergency Donald Trump declared a questionable “national energy emergency” when he entered the White House. Soon he might actually have one. The president promised that his America would do "baby exercises" to reach new levels of prosperity by making the most of its oil and gas reserves. Shift in Energy Policy Mr. Trump has now eliminated hundreds of billions in tax breaks and grants for low-carbon and clean energy research and instead allocated them to fossil fuel investments. There is no better example than Revolution Wind, one of the largest offshore renewable energy projects in America.…
