Nuclear power generation

This is not an energy chart. It is a chart about power. China has spent the past two decades expanding nuclear generation at speed. Germany has shut its reactors down completely. One country is building firm electricity capacity. The other has chosen to dismantle it.

Iran's internet blackout

Iran has been almost completely offline for more than a week. According to NetBlocks monitoring, nationwide connectivity dropped from normal levels to around 1% in early March and has remained near zero since. This makes it one of the longest internet shutdowns the country has experienced in recent years.

Oil passes $100 per barrel

Tariffs are a tax on imports. That is simply how they function. Now the US Supreme Court struck down Trump's emergency tariffs. He responded by imposing a 15% global tariff under a different law. But let's focus on the data.

Cash has absorbed more capital than any other asset class
