Natural gas has quietly become the one thing the US power grid can't live without. Natural gas is the most flexible power source on the grid. Unlike coal, gas plants can ramp up and down in minutes. That responsiveness is what keeps the lights on during peak demand. It's also the backup for when solar and wind go quiet. No sun, no wind, gas fills the gap. As coal and nuclear plants retire, the grid leans harder on gas. So even with green policy goals, real-world reliance on gas is rising. The scale is enormous. California's grid alone runs on 36 GW of gas generation. Remove that, and you face a serious question about grid stability. Alternatives exist. Hydropower, battery storage, and advanced nuclear can all provide on-demand power. But replacing gas isn't a 10-year project. It may not even be a 100-year one. The grid was built around it.

The presence of mines means shipping through the Strait of Hormuz will operate at less than half of prewar levels for months even if a US-Iran peace deal holds, a top shipping executive has warned. Takaya Soga, chief executive of Japan’s NYK Line, which operates a fleet of more than 900 vessels, said shipping would only resume at much lower volumes because of the capacity constraints of safer routes through the strait that run close to Iran and Oman. msn.com/en-gb/money/to…

There's a legal provision buried in South Africa's Income Tax Act that lets qualifying taxpayers slash a massive chunk of what they owe SARS. Most people have never heard of it. It's called Section 12B. Section 12B lets you deduct 100% of the cost of qualifying solar energy assets from your taxable income. In year one. One shot. Not spread over five years like most asset write-offs. All of it. Gone from your taxable income. But here's the part that makes this accessible. You don't need to go buy solar panels yourself. You invest into what's called an en commandite partnership. This is a legal fund structure where a group of investors pool capital to acquire solar assets. The fund generates electricity, signs long-term contracts (Power Purchase Agreements) to sell it to businesses and municipalities, and distributes profits back to investors twice a year. Individuals, trusts and companies can all participate. Now add gearing. The fund borrows against your capital. Invest R200,000 and the structure can deploy R400,000 worth of solar assets. Section 12B lets you deduct that full R400,000 from your taxable income. If you're sitting in the 45% tax bracket, that's R180,000 back from SARS. On a R200k investment. Your net out of pocket becomes R20,000. And you still earn 8 to 10% a year from electricity sales on top of that. This is not a loophole. It is a government incentive designed to pull private capital into renewable energy. Legal. SARS-approved. Binding class rulings exist on it. But not all 12B funds are equal. Due diligence is non-negotiable. Some people spend their whole careers handing SARS the full invoice. Others find the section.
