Can Biden's green boom survive Trump's wrecking ball?
Financial Express Chandigarh|December 27, 2024
THE ENERGY TRANSITION sustained an electoral trauma as 2024 drew to a close. The incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump promises to undo at least some of the progress made on decarbonisation under President Joe Biden.

What does the future hold for out-of-form India captain Rohit Sharma?

Rohit has had one 50-plus score in his last 14 visits to the crease, and his last Test hundred came in March in the home series against England, a high point for him as a batsman and skipper.
