When it comes to the energy transition I'm a glass half full person. I know: plenty of people would say that's terribly naive. They point to the scale of the challenge. They point to vested interests. They point to hard-to-abate sectors. And they're not wrong. But here's what they miss. 🧵

I found this very moving. People are at their best when they accept vulnerability and treat their fellow humans with kindness. And so often, that is not a narrative that is applied in positive terms to men. Yet it should be. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

As a huge fan of Buffy back in the day I thoroughly enjoyed this superb analysis. I think you'd also appreciate it @kesalisbury.bsky.social if you haven't seen it substack.com/@anchorlight...
