Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.ut there's little sign of sunrise yet.
Outlook: Water protest
SHARES PRICES in the water sector have not recovered from the shock of the price cuts announced by the industry regulator, Ian Byatt at the end of July. Unless the individual companies can persuade him to go easier in face to face meetings over the next fortnight, then a rash of appeals to the Competition Commission looks increasingly likely. One option being mooted is a collective appeal unless Mr Byatt gives ground and allows the industry a cost of capital higher than 4.25-5.25 per cent. Now is the time not to blink.
