Some build their light slowly. Quietly. Year after year.
Until one day it blinds you with its greatness.

The Energy Mix recently republished my personal reflection on how many stories I’ve been covering about coal.

Now it seems like every time I turn around there’s more in the news about a coal comeback.

Liverpool might have lost. But Wirtz sure didn’t.
As the final whistle blew, the crowd’s murmur seemed to carry a quiet promise. A whisper of spells yet to be cast on Anfield’s stage.
If this was only the opening act, then the Premier League is about to witness a new kind of magic unfold.

York United FC showed exactly that on Saturday evening at ATCO Field, grinding out a determined 1-0 win over Cavalry FC to stretch their unbeaten run in the Canadian Premier League (CPL) to six matches.
As promised, videos from the G7 Summit protests in Calgary in my latest Substack post.
Isa Carlin, Migrante Alberta: "There are undocumented children in this province who haven’t been to elementary school in months or years because of their immigration status."
"Temporary foreign workers on farms here in Canada face some of the most intense forms of exploitation and degradation. Many workers and their families face limited access to clean water because of their living and working conditions - eight family members sharing one bathroom, migrant workers living in trucks, agricultural workers denied the right to breaks and adequate hydration during hot summer months."

A man once hailed as the most successful team principal in modern Formula 1 has finally been shown the door.
