The Key to a Successful Trump Energy Agenda Is Electricity
Rather than drill, baby, drill, it should be build, baby, build.
Yes, @jasonbordoff.bsky.social is absolutely correct about this: they key to the geopolitics of energy these days is *electricity*, not oil. That's true whether or not you care about climate change. foreignpolicy.com/2024/11/20/t...
