Great nuggets in this insightful piece by @aradwanski.bsky.social, including that the energy transition “is still happening globally, despite Mr. Trump’s disinterest in it, and his administration’s antipathy […] gives Canada an opportunity.”

Heisenberg replies, “No, but I know exactly where I am.”

Suspicious, the cop checks the trunk and says, “Did you know there’s a dead cat back here?”

Schrodinger sighs, “Well, now we do.”
