Joe Biden’s treasury secretary Janet Yellen once called “the greatest business opportunity of the twenty-first century” has revealed itself to be something of a disaster.
The new American President is likely to be blamed for the implosion of the green agenda, but its collapse long pre-dates his re-ascension.
