China has some of the lowest energy prices worldwide, and in May 2024, coal accounted for 53% of China’s electricity generation. Reliable, affordable energy is imperative especially in the AGI race, but whereas the UK shuns coal for environmental reasons, many nations still burn

What if the UK reversed its coal phase-out? Reactivating Drax's 1.29 GW retired coal unit could power ~3.35M homes (based on Ofgem's 2,700 kWh/yr avg at 80% capacity factor), which could lead to a 2-5% wholesale price drop, saving households ÂŁ10-30/yr if carbon taxes are removed.

To stabilize UK debt-to-GDP (95.9%), a 4.72% nominal GDP growth rate is needed. To reduce it to 80% in 10 years, you would need 5-6% growth. Current real growth at 1% and inflation at 3.6%, massive productivity gains and cuts are the only options.

"Inflation rise takes the UK closer to debt-crisis cliff edge" – my latest @Telegraph column. Britain is heading for a very serious fiscal crisis – not unlike the 1976 fiasco which saw this country go "cap in hand" to the International Monetary Fund for a bail-out. Government.

The sad reality of AI is the best investment today is probably $META or ByteDance. As AI “frees up time for people to chase their passions” they’ll just spend more hours on TikTok and Instagram. Plus the algorithms will only get more addictive.
