THE rIGHT JUST HATES THE ECONOMY:
National economies recover faster when countries are powered by renewable energy, says new research (Phys.org, 6/14/23)
After all, a healthy economy attracts immigrants.Researchers from Trinity College Dublin looked for patterns in data from 133 systemic economic crises that affected 98 countries over a 40-year span. While their analyses show that countries relying on a broader range of energy sources experience longer recovery times, the best predictor of economic recovery was the extent to which a country relied on renewable energy.Underlining the significance of the finding is the fact that while data came from a widely diverse set of societies and their economies, the extent of reliance on renewable energy consistently accounted for a major proportion of the variability in economic recovery time.
