How did the fascination with the occult and esoteric practices around 1900 influence artistic expression, and what are some key examples?

The exhibit demonstrates how seemingly modern ideas often have historical precedents. The early 20th century saw various reform movements emphasizing natural living, spiritual exploration (Teosophy influenced artists like Kandinsky), and physical/mental well-being, mirroring contemporary concerns about sustainability and holistic health. However, these movements also contained darker aspects, with some aligning with racist and nationalist ideologies.

What are the key economic and strategic implications of the declining cost of renewable energy compared to fossil fuels?

According to a new report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), over 90% of renewable energy projects globally are now cheaper than fossil fuel alternatives. Solar power is 41% cheaper than the cheapest fossil fuel, and onshore wind power costs have dropped by more than half. This cost reduction is due to widespread use of clean technologies, massive Chinese manufacturing focus on emissions reduction, and $2 trillion in investment last year—$800 billion more than fossil fuels.
