A potentially precedent-setting vote today in #Europe: Should the world's largest development bank - EIB - promise to never again fund fossil fuel-based #energy projects? #Development #banks, #solar, #finance, #markets

Tired of blackouts, expensive oil, & China-backed coal plants, #Pakistan plans 7GW in #renewables by 2025. #Industrial users gained govt incentives to go green, in December the govt auctions rights to build #solar & #wind, and the #WorldBank is supporting. #energy, #electricity

Potential WINNERS if Iran-US conflict escalates: Renewable #energy, oil-rich nations that don't export thru the Middle East. MIXED: Saudi & UAE (higher oil prices, but tougher to do biz). LOSERS: #GCC tourism, economies of US, India, others. #solar, #iran, #oil

1yr ago, #Saudi women won the right to drive. #Uber claims 200 female drivers. Gradual cultural changes will affect #transport greatly, but change is slow. IE, in 2020, #women can leave KSA w/o a man's permission
