Many people know the Big Mac Index, published by The Economist. One can do a similar comparison with the magazine's price itself. It turns out, gulf nations pay the most for a weekly dose of economic analysis. Any guess why? #EconTwitter

#Coal once accounted for more than 60% of Germany's energy - now it contributes less than 20%. The gap was mostly filled by gas and nuclear. The recent rise of wind and solar is small. #Luetzi #Luetzerath
