JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

People often claim low-carbon energy is a bigger risk to energy security than fossil fuels because of the need for minerals. I don't think so. I explained why in an old Substack: www.sustainabilitybynumbers.com/p/energy-sec...
