Centrism is Dead (And It Never Really Existed)
It's a common refrain these days to hear people lament a decline of the so-called "center" in American politics. We're supposed to look on in horror as "moderate" Republicans and Democrats become an engaged species of liberty-fighting patriots steamrolled by frothing, insane hordes of populist barbarians on their left and right flanks. They're the voice of reason, lovers of apple pie and staunch defenders of our constitution and all that's good and right in the US of A.

Is Green Energy Competitive without Government Support?
Until cost-competitive green energy that is dispatchable is available, renewable sources of electricity require backup conventional generation. Because the sun eventually sets, and the wind stops blowing, natural gas generation whose output can be varied (sometimes quickly) must be available as backup. The fixed and variable costs of the backup must be paid by someone. These hidden costs need to be considered in any calculation of “cost competitiveness.”

Did Trump just score major concessions from EU Commission head?
The European Union’s European Commission head, Jean-Claude Juncker, flew to Washington to have a sit down with US President Donald Trump about the tense trade situation between the traditional allies and trade partners. Trump’s tariffs programme might have been billed as a national security precaution, but that’s just how he managed to get it by Congress.
