    Why solar and wind are not winning

    Oped, Bjorn Lomborg, Published on 20/04/2024

    » Despite us constantly being told that solar and wind are now the cheapest forms of electricity, governments around the world needed to spend US$1.8 trillion (66.3 trillion baht) on the green transition last year.

Indeed, arguing that wind and solar is cheapest is a meme employed by green lobbyists, activists and politicians around the world. Unfortunately, as the $1.8 trillion price-tag shows, the claim is wildly deceptive.

    Raising children in the digital age

    Oped, Published on 19/04/2024

    » Parents in the 2000s are not taught parenting with addictive technology. The examples did not exist, and a comprehensive guide still needs to be written. We know parenting is a series of successes and failures with unsure outcomes. Presence (physical and mental) matters; however, technology is eroding parents' presence. Parents, with good intentions, are sidelining the tasks required to grow a well-rounded, responsible, and contributing member of society by farming out their duties to technology and drowning themselves in distractions. It is thus time to start teaching parents how to become better parents.
