By the afternoon, the IAF had attacked seventeen Egyptian airfields with about 500 sorties. The Egyptian air force lost more than 200 aircraft destroyed... read more

Was This the Worst U.S. Navy Aircraft Carrier of World War II?*Kyle Mizokami* *Aircraft Carriers, Americas* Although the Navy had judged the USS Wasp as having excellent firefight capabilities, these came up short during an actual attack. *Here's What You Need to Know*: *Wasp* was not a terrible aircraft carrier, but she had enough shortcomings to succumb to battle damage in September 1942. The U.S. Navy rose to prominence during World War II from just one of many major naval powers to the undisputed greatest in just four short years. This was in large part due to the expansion and effective use of its aircraft carrier fleet. Although most... read more

BWorld 490, Net zero carbon emission and net zero growth* My column in BusinessWorld, June 01, 2021. On May 18, the International Energy Agency (IEA) released its very controversial and sensational report, “Net Zero by 2050: A Roadmap for the Global Energy Sector” (224 pages).

By 2025, no new sales of fossil fuel boilers (for power plants). By 2030, phase-out of all coal power plants in advanced economies. By 2035, net zero emissions electricity in advanced e... read more
