Funny how a temporary 40% gas spike is 'just geopolitics' but a permanent 6% electricity increase is a reason to write off EVs.

@HarryStebbings@typesfast If kids come home at 3pm and you're less productive until 6pm... it's fraud? C'mon.
In-person work has clear benefits and remote work has real challenges, but the reverse is just as true. Remote work offers advantages and solves many problems that come with being 100% in-office.
The renewable-energy / cleantech / climatetech / whatever-name-comes-next industry is taking punches right now. It hurts. Policy rollbacks, tariffs, outright hostility from the administration. For the many people that joined the industry in the last five years - please know this is not new. It's happened before, and it always feels existential when it is happening.
But, I have *never* been more bullish on renewable energy in the 25 yrs I've been involved, because the fundamental economics are so freaking SOLID for solar, wind & batteries. They are the cheapest and - perhaps most importantly - the fastest source of new power generation you can build, with or without tax credits. And they have been the dominant new power source for the *entire world* for the past several years, and will be for the next several. Everywhere in the world - not just the US.
The US may take a step back and cede energy dominance to China (although I'm not yet convinced - I believe there is a grand bargain involving nuclear & gas to be had), but the world is most definitely not stepping back.
I'm not going anywhere. I'm doubling down.
