If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

It’s meant to signify ‘normal - not radical’.
London-based journos have a tendency to do that.

My travel to Cosyne was barred by the Trump admin, so I'm here on my personal dime. I care about the COSYNE community, I committed to co-chairing. And I always learn here.

One can only hope that the incompetence will be their undoing. But I’m not holding my breath.

Pete Hegseth reportedly spent $24M of expiring DOD funds on lobster, ribeye steaks, and Alaskan king crab.
Now the Pentagon wants ANOTHER $500B, on top of Trump's record-setting $1T military budget.
Imagine what we could spend that money on instead.
