Gas prices have surged to nearly $4 per gallon after the Iran conflict, pushing more drivers worldwide to consider EVs.

Nature-based investments generate measurable financial returns by restoring ecosystems that produce sellable credits and reduce future risks. A reforestation project, for example, can earn $20–$50 per ton of verified CO2 removal while boosting land value and lowering wildfire‑related losses. These outcomes turn ecological restoration into a credible, revenue‑producing asset class.25 Mar 2026 | Synopsis

The CityA.M. column argues that the Iran crisis proves Britain's net-ero policy is economically reckless. It claims the UK's refusal to tap domestic oil and gas left it vulnerable to inflation and energy shocks, with growth stagnating and PMI data showing weakness. The author calls for renewed fossil-fuel production to restore stability - ignoring that global oil dependence itself drives volatility and that renewables reduce long-‘term geopolitical risk.

New York's push to reclassify Uber and Lyft drivers under higher‑cost insurance rules has triggered a political fight, with warnings it could drive out part‑time drivers and raise fares. The move also threatens EV adoption in ride‑hail fleets, since EVs already face higher premiums. The outcome will shape gig‑work economics and the future of shared electric mobility in New York and beyond.

A counter-narrative to claims that renewables are driving an environmental and economic crisis. Clean energy investment is not waste but strategic modernization; Europe's energy challenges stem from fuel imports, not wind and solar; and waste issues are solvable. The real risk is clinging to an aging fossil-centric system while global competitors scale the next energy economy.
