Investors should watch how methane reduction efforts in oil and gas are shaping new market opportunities—cutting liabilities and enhancing ESG profiles. A smarter way to align profit with purpose.

Germany's foreign minister has cancelled a planned trip to China next week - would have been the highest-level political visit under the new government. Comes amid deep fears about China's weaponisation of its rare-earth chokehold and the fallout on German + European industry.

The beast of the Berlaymont causing all manner of mischief even before his return to Brussels, we are so back.
Major development to this story: Krichbaum, the EU minister, has clarified that he wasn't speaking for the entire government when backing Selmayr. A German government official also said: “This is not a position agreed by the German government. We will not endorse Mr. Selmayr.”

UATX will never charge tuition. And we will never take government money. Here's why. Graduates spend decades shouldering debt for hollow credentials. This debt influences every decision they make: What job to take. Where to live. When to marry. When to have children. Some will

Doubling down on this #Stadtbild ("cityscape"?) thing really is exhibit A - just like the decision to vote with the AfD in January, an unforced error that seems to reflect a wholly misguided idea about what persuadable voters are seeking.

Gotta say, nothing I've seen in the last few hours has changed my view that Germany's governing party has a serious strategy for combatting the rise of the AfD. Quite the opposite.

"Many focus on the grinding progress Russian troops have made & shortage of Ukrainian manpower...but that is to look down the telescope from the wrong end. More striking is how little territory Russia has taken and the cost it has paid in men & materiel."

German-Polish reset latest
Polish court denied extradition to Germany of a Ukrainian national suspected of blowing up Nord Stream 2 and released him from custody. And rightly so. The case is closed.

Reupping for all my Sveriges Riksbank Prize crew
In this chaotic, turbulent world, it is a comfort to know that one thing will never change: journalists working for credentialled outfits will fall for Tommaso Debenedetti hoaxes.

Important, deeply reported piece in @sternde on the CDU's agonising debate over whether to maintain the anti-AfD "firewall" in its current form. Unless the AfD's rise is somehow arrested, I fear this is a dilemma without a solution.

Die Union findet kein Rezept gegen die AfD. Jetzt beginnt in der CDU eine Debatte über eine Öffnung zur extremen Rechten. Das könnte die Republik verändern.

Sad news about D'Angelo. Never saw him live, but when I saw Maxwell my main thought was, I wish this was a D'Angelo show.
