Despite this election, I remain an optimist about America and the world. Humanity will continue to produce new ideas and new innovations to improve our lives. Good people will continue to come together to improve the world. And the political tide will turn. We'll make it so.

A Bill Gates backed company is now producing butter with no animals, no plants, and no oils — it’s made from carbon. The company is working with restaurants, bakeries, and food suppliers to incorporate their carbon-made butter. Mainstream media reports it has the “blessing and

The most bizarre sort of fantasy. The markets don't want this. Utilities don't want this. Frackers certainly don't want this. No one who breaths air wants this. Drill baby drill, while vacuous, at least nods to commodities in demand.

This is an incredible analysis of how Putin's invasion of the world will re-order the global world, largely for the better. By a leading Chinese policy thinker, in Shanghai, originally written in Chinese. Brief thread, but read the whole thing. uscnpm.org/2022/03/12/hu-… 1/

THREAD: Solar is plunging in cost faster than anyone, including me, predicted. Today I'm publishing an update of my solar cost forecasts from 2015, with more data & improved methods. Tl;dr: Solar is on path to become insanely, world-changingly cheap. rameznaam.com/2020/05/14/sol… 1/20

More EVs are now sold every year in China than cars - of all sorts - are sold in the US. This trend isn't stopping. EVs are all of the growth in the global auto market since 2017. via @electricfelix

Biden should propose a US energy bill as a pro-Ukraine, anti-Russia measure. Take the energy components of Build Back Better. They reduce US demand for both oil and natural gas, which hurts Putin. Add support for further LNG exports. Balance it over 10 years for Manchin. Go.

Replying to @ramez
He closes by saying that China has 1-2 WEEKS in which to make a choice. And basically says that China should choose the West, and use its influence over Putin to end the war and bring him to heel. It says that China is the only nation that can. I don't disagree. 7/
