The widening rift between the world’s two largest economies – the United States and China – has had analysts and market observers using the phrase ‘Cold War’ to describe how far the two global superpowers could go in their increasingly heated dispute. A new Iron Curtain could mean attempts to decouple the intertwined economic and trade relations between the biggest economies in the world, market analyst John Kemp argues.

Such decoupling, however, will take decades and may not be even possible, considering the intertwined global supply chains, including in the energy markets.

A solar power project to connect villages in Malawi has had a “life-changing” impact for rural communities. The initiative, led by Strathclyde University researchers, has seen affordable energy supply businesses set up in four villages.

The partnership, which has been backed by a £600,000 grant from the Scottish government, ensures locals own and operate the equipment.

It includes battery chargers and power connections for other small businesses.

Only 12% of Malawi’s 18 million population is connected to the main electricity grid, which dips to 2% in rural areas.
