I’m making a slight adjustment to the Energy Flux publishing schedule. To carve out more research and writing time in the run-up to the fortnightly features, the daily newsletter will not publish on the last Thursday in each cycle. That means there’s no Energy Flux today.

I’m putting the final touches to a fresh deep-dive that I’m excited to share with you all on Friday afternoon (UK time). The extra time will be reflected in the overall quality of the piece, and all future features.

Also, with the Easter holidays in full swing, I’ll be taking off all next week to spend time with the kids while they’re at home. Normal service will resume the week commencing 19th April.

I’ll leave you with a list of the most interesting headlines from the last 24 hours.
