  • The best time to decouple from fossil fuels was 1973. Today is also a very good time.
  • Israel’s attack on a gas field was reckless, an open provocation, and didn’t serve the interests of America or the world
  • You’d think Saudi Arabia has enough pull with the US Government to get this all to stop before fossil fuel infrastructure is permanently destroyed at a massive scale

  • The longer global energy systems remain tied to centralized fossil fuel infrastructure, the more they become high-value, low-resilience targets—economically and militarily—inviting escalation and systemic shocks.
  • Markets alone won’t unwind that risk fast enough; without coordinated policy and investment, capital keeps flowing into assets that are profitable short-term but increasingly fragile under geopolitical stress.
  • A rapid shift toward distributed, electrified, and renewable energy systems isn’t just climate policy anymore—it’s a hard security strategy aimed at reducing choke points, stabilizing supply, and lowering the incentive for conflict over fuel assets.
