moreI am retired apart from managing family investments - mostly equities. I live near Zurich, Switzerland. I keep physically fit by walking and mentally fit with an art hobby and by writing on philosophy, economics and politics as related to cleaning up our polluted planet. My writings are published internationally.
As a retired businessman with a passion for drawing, who has lived on four continents, I long ago started to appreciate the natural beauty that surrounds us - the enormous variety of colours, flora, fauna and topography and the impact that has had on cultures and peoples. Most of us view that beauty without really seeing it and for thousands of years artists have tried to capture it and thus, teach us the art of seeing. My email address is jbhanshaw@gmail. com

Electric Vehicle And Battery Metal News
Interesting article but a question I keep asking goes unanswered. Where is the power coming from to recharge all these EVs in the US and Europe, maybe elsewhere too. The existing power infrastructure is old, overloaded with existing demand and there is no way it can cope with all this new demand.

British Shale Revolution Crushed: America’s Unique Ownership Of Oil And Gas
Interesting article. You mention Britain importing LNG from Russia last winter. Did you know that Boston in the US did too? Sounds crazy but I suppose the craziness is home grown and the Jones Act prevents non US built ships doing coastal work and there are no US built LNG carriers.
Also I doubt that a hard Brexit will stop electricity from crossing borders because last winter France - not a lover of Britain - had to import some from Britain.
Why Is The Weakness In GBP/USD Likely?
Interesting article. I live in Switzerland but have most of my investments in US equities so watch the movements closely. I have also watched the pound over the longer term, not against the USD but against the German DM when that existed. In 1960 the exchange rate was GBP 1 = DM 12. If the DM existed today it would be GDP 1= DM 2 or thereabouts. Looking ahead I see no reason why that decline will not continue. James
