Hello and welcome to the Intelligence from the Economist. I'm Orret Orgambi.

And I'm Jason Palmer. Every weekday we provide a fresh perspective on the events shaping

your world.

The American government is trying to encourage clean energy projects with lots of money and

a bunch of new laws. If everything goes according to plan, these kinds of incentives could really

transform the economy. Our correspondent tells us how.

And our obituaries editor reflects on the life of Carolyn Bryant, whose testimony doomed

14-year-old Emmett Till in 1955, setting America's civil rights movement a light.

First up, though.

In Britain, there's nothing that so brings out a sense of deep history, tradition, maybe

anachronism and a ceremony involving its royal family. And tomorrow it's going to be a big one,

the coronation of King Charles III. It's been almost exactly 70 years since the last crowning of a new monarch.

And to put it mildly, things have changed a lot since then. When Queen Elizabeth II started her reign,

the nation seemed to have nothing but adoration for its figurehead. But that enthusiasm has long been on the

wane, particularly among the young, majority of whom would do away with the monarchy altogether.

Nevertheless, there are still plenty of the fascinated and the faithful, some of whom will have

camped out for days near Buckingham Palace to secure a good view tomorrow.

It's like an extended family in a way to me, and I write to the royal sometimes and some of them actually respond.

I just think it's something that this little country has got and big countries haven't got that,

and so we should really cherish it and be thankful for all that pageantry and all that nonsense that people might think.

But it's our nonsense.

This Saturday in London an oldish man will get a newish hat.
