Today's politics coverage is a global patchwork of local fights with big implications. From Alberta's new solar panel recycling fee to protests against a Kushner-backed resort in Albania, the thread is about how governments and corporations are clashing over resources, environment, and public trust. Brexit's decade-later cost to UK consumers ties it together: policy decisions have real, lasting financial consequences.
Two stories show how environmental policy and foreign investment are stirring local backlash.
Alberta's $14 recycling fee on new solar panels, the first in Canada, has the renewable energy industry worried it will scare off investment. The government calls it proactive; critics call it a tax on green growth.
Protests in Albania against a Jared Kushner-backed luxury resort on Sazan island have grown into a broader anti-government movement, mixing environmental and political grievances.
Brexit's financial hangover and Australia's new price gouging law both put money in the spotlight.
A decade after the Brexit vote, The Guardian tallies the costs: higher grocery bills, holiday fees, and customs headaches. The numbers are concrete, the sentiment is regret.
Australia's new price gouging law, targeting Coles and Woolworths, takes effect July 1. It bans prices 'significantly above' cost plus a reasonable margin, but enforcement will be the real test.
Germany and New York take opposite directions on coal and solar, while Alberta's fee could reshape the solar market.
Germany's coal phase-out by 2038 may slip as rising gas costs make coal harder to quit. The country still gets 20% of its power from coal, and the math is getting uncomfortable.
New York's balcony solar bill, allowing plug-in panels for renters, passed the legislature and now awaits the governor's signature. It's a small technical fix with big potential for solar access.
