Sean Duffy wants to put a nuclear reactor on the moon. People on Earth just want their bus to come on time.Nearly 23,000 people have signed a petition urging the federal Department of Transportation Secretary and interim NASA administrator to “fund transit, not fantasy” and focus on the challenge of decarbonizing America’s transportation system, rather than building a lunar power plant that could someday power a long-term base on the moon.That project, which the petition from the National Campaign for Justice dubbed “a space vanity project that diverts funding and focus from the urgent work of fighting climate change,” has…

But some of the best growth stocks aren’t the big household names. They’re often smaller businesses hiding in plain sight, waiting for a breakthrough moment. This week, two such companies caught my eye — and I’ll admit I’d barely heard of them until now. Both Shield Therapeutics (LSE: STX) and Pantheon Resources (LSE: PANR)…

As the voluntary carbon market works to recover from a crisis of credibility, one rising player is stepping in to offer something the sector has long lacked: financial protection from the very beginning. London-based startup Artio is the first insurer designed specifically to cover carbon-credit projects from the concept phase, before a single tree is planted or a ton of carbon is removed. Artio’s model is bold in its simplicity: Offer insurance to cover delivery shortfalls on carbon credits, giving both developers and investors the confidence to move forward early. It’s a solution to one of the most persistent problems…

Jerome Powell will step into the spotlight this Friday at the Jackson Hole gathering of central bankers under unusually challenging circumstances, delivering what is widely expected to be his final address as Federal Reserve chair. His best approach would be to focus on broad strategic issues, drawing lessons from his tumultuous tenure and setting the stage for the Fed’s periodic review of its Monetary Policy Framework.

These challenges are significant and…
