2/2 Punchline: 15 nations in Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America have today or are finalizing SAF policy.

Policy literacy and awareness is a competitive advantage in this landscape.

I like this article on ChatGPT energy use.
Detailed, clear, well referenced.

Punchline: a lot less than prior estimates, based largely on (a) questionable assumptions in prior estimates and (b) effiency improvements since 2023.

Thanks Josh You at Epoch AI.

Getting better at the AI image generators.

Tried Sora (OpenAi's image generating platform).
Gave it prompts for Julio Friedmann as Carbon Wrangler.

Don't know why it makes me bald. Or bearded.
Second one is in the style of F. Remington

Fun. Good way to goof off.

Wanna see some awesome?

When Republican congressional reps ditch their own constituencies, some Democratic Reps. are holding Town Halls in their districts.

Rep. @ericswalwell.bsky.social did that this weekend - in Florida's 13th (Anna Paulina Luna’s district).

Bravo 👏🙏

Achtung!
Attention!

China is not the endgame - it’s the ball game.


It’s centrality to manufacturing, trade, geopolitics, finance & more demands a better climate/energy playbook for.

Blowing past 1.5 C of warming got you down?

It should. Progress is hard & we keep failing.
You’re paying attention.

The path forward requires ambition, humility & generosity

1/2 Quick update: My last substack article focused on energy poverty and mentioned the US cases in the Navajo Nation.

A recent @washingtonpost.com article focused on this shameful reality - accentuated by booming growth in electricity in AZ.

Energy poverty & electricity access are pressing, urgent, important issues in the energy transition.

My latest piece discusses them in the context of the nomination of Chris Wright to US Sec. of Energy

Some opportunities are hidden in plain sight.
Enjoy.
