There've been plenty of opinions proffered on the BAAJA bill over the past few weeks (mine here: https://www.transitiontimes.net/tt-17-my-verdict-on-baaja/) but those don't move markets.
What moves markets is the companies themselves, and the energy transition …

So this was *very* good. Self-contained prequel to Friday the 13th, i.e. Jason's origin story. Tense, gory and a bit melodramatic, but top shelf if #horror is your jam.
