Green industrial policy is like couscous. Take a shortcut or copy someone else's recipe, and you'll regret it. My talk at Princeton's C-PREE will highlight: - ugly/bad side of the exclusionary green economy - Good IP adaptation that market forces can't deliver! cpree.princeton.edu/events/2025/...

⚠️🛢 The fossil fuel phase-out scam: While crumbs are negotiated for climate finance, producers of some of the dirtiest oil (🇨🇦🇺🇸) have expanded production, cancelling out any transition effects by others Our @tidecentre.bsky.social fact of the week aims to shed light on this often-overlooked aspect.
