The energy transition happens often in unlikely places at unprecedented rates.

How many people are subconsciously paralyzed and cognitively inert right now because the main feature of their (american) identity - pride - has been summarily revoked?

Where will small-c capital go - personal savings, attention, and principled ‘retail’ investment; when markets get caught up on distributing the proximal future?

Any followers know what my deal is? Non-rhetorically :)

Just curious who’s curious and wants insight or has gleaned it…I think what I’m up to is worth chewing on or propagating now, & could benefit from add’l feedbacks, +/-.

Few *act* interested/cognizant & I don’t hype - but could? 👂🫲
