‘Digger’ is the year’s big climate movie. This climate reporter hated it.

Tom Cruise’s latest film is a crude parable about an unrepentant oil executive.

Democratic socialism, although excellent, is NOT socialism. This is another attempt by the media to blur the lines. Democratic socialism can/does exist in a capitalist system. Socialism cannot. In socialism, the workers own the means of production. So NO, sadly, there is no spectre of socialism.

Energy needs to be an "all of the above approach", because nobody is willing to make the sacrifices needed to SLOW DOWN. We're asking the wrong questions. We should be asking: 1. Does all this energy use make us happy/healthy? No. 2. What does? Friends, family, purpose, exercise, faith.

I don't think we should focus on what Trump is doing in the energy space. Renewables are on a massive uptrend. The world needs them. He can't stop their growth. We should focus on WHY we need to build all of this energy infrastructure in the first place. Growth. Endless, mindless growth.
