📊 EV’s charts of the week #5 β

Renewable energy; coal diplomacy; mobile money; scary jobs data; gut health

Hi,
Thanks for the amazing feedback on last week’s chart drop. It’ll become a weekly feature for members. We’re experimenting with length and breadth. Slightly more to read this week. Comments are open for you to discuss with other members, building on the success of our Friday discussions. Would you like to see these charts follow specific themes each week or should we keep the style the same as previous editions?
