Not only has writing brought many of my wrong ideas to light, but it refined my process for constructing an investment portfolio. I now have an improved method for mapping themes to actual concrete positions which I’ll illustrate here. I’ve explored a wide... |

Kathleen White & Caleb Rossiter, RCM New study shows how American clean coal technology can increase access to electricity and cut deaths from indoor air pollution The presidential campaign highlighted the impact on Americans of a ban on “fossil fuels” -- coal, oil, and natural gas. Whatever they believe about global warming – whether it’s natural or from fossil-fueled emissions of carbon dioxide, a mild warming gas and powerful plant food – most Americans now know that electricity for households and businesses becomes far more expensive when regulations ban “fracking” and require a... |
