The planned investments seek to increase bike lanes, fund wider pavements and cycle and bus-only corridors as part of a GBP 250 million emergency active travel fund - the first stage of a GBP 2 billion investment. The scheme is part of the GBP 5 billion new funding which had been announced in February 2020 for cycling and buses, but was fast-tracked because of the pandemic.

The policy includes plans to

- create 150 miles of protected cycle track, and Transport for London, which plans a "bike Tube" network above Underground lines.

- GBP 50 Vouchers will be issued for cycle repairs and discounts will be attributed to employees on the purchase of a new bike through the "Cycle to Work scheme".

- bring E-scooters for trial as of June 2020.

- build more protected cycle routes in towns and improve the National Cycle Network, with higher standards for cycling infrastructure

- boost investment by creating a long term cycling programme and budget to ensure a guaranteed pipeline of funding.

- set up a new national e-bike programme, and encourage more frequent usage of e-bikes.

Energy Security, Not Climate Goals, Is Now Driving the Clean Power Boom

While ships are beginning to trickle through the Strait of Hormuz after months of near-total closure, it will be a very long time before the effects of this year’s energy crisis fade from the global economy – if they ever do. This latest round of turmoil in global oil and gas markets has catalyzed clean energy adoption to a degree that may permanently alter the global energy landscape, as well as the way that we conceive of energy security and geopolitical strategy. It is extremely telling that, against the backdrop of the United States…

Iraq Is Keeping Its Syria Oil Route—Even If Hormuz Reopens

Nobody, especially not Iraq, wants to be caught relying on Hormuz ever again. Iraq is preparing to export crude oil and naphtha through Syria's Mediterranean port of Baniyas, expanding an emergency workaround that emerged after the closure of the Strait of Hormuz disrupted the country's primary export routes and left storage tanks filling up. According to Reuters, Iraqi officials say the strategy will remain in place even after shipping through Hormuz returns to normal. That alone says plenty. Iraq normally exports around 3.6 million barrels of…

China Is Taking Its AI Boom Under the Sea

The data centre industry has taken off in the last few years, as tech companies look to develop the massive computing power needed to run complex operations, such as artificial intelligence. Thousands of data centres are being developed on land, but now, some countries are looking to establish innovative models in alternative locations, such as underwater. In May, China launched the world’s first wind-powered underwater data centre off the coast of Shanghai, with an investment of around $238 million. The 24 MW-capacity Shanghai Lingang undersea…

Why Small Modular Reactors Are Becoming a National Security Priority

For decades, energy policy in Washington was debated on the basis of economics, climate change, and domestic politics. That era is over. The United States is entering a period where energy security must be recognized as a core pillar of national security and military readiness. The global competition underway with China is not just about trade or tariffs. It is about industrial capacity, technological dominance, artificial intelligence (AI), semiconductor manufacturing, and defense production - all of which depend on a foundational requirement:…
