Oli & gas (profiting from windfall price rises);

Banks (generating fees from increased trading as investors seek 'safer' assets);

Defence (that is gaining investment as countries look at a new global security environment); and

Renewables (which is benefiting form the hardening of the logic of energy diversification).

Capitalists love a crisis!

The growth in renewables alongside the (temporary) spike in oil prices is a silver lining to these very dark clouds. This will pay long-term dividends in health and climate change. And if capitalists do well from it, it's good for my pension fund.

34. War is good for business.
35. Peace is good for business.

IOW, come rain or shine, capitalists gonna capitalise.

Just a moment...
