We are 14 days into a planetary-scale disaster as Israeli and American attacks on Iran trigger a massive disruption of the Persian Gulf energy supply. From hundreds of millions of Indians unable to cook dinner to airlines canceling thousands of flights and governments in Thailand and Vietnam begging people to work from home to save fuel, the “choke point” is no longer a theoretical risk; it is our reality. The Angry Clean Energy Guy breaks down the sheer lunacy of our continued addiction to fossil fuels to show that if your country’s energy depends on fossil fuels, you are not a sovereign state; you are a hostage. Expect an acceleration, around the world, of efforts to build the renewable-powered, high-compute future we actually need.

The risk if they don’t? Becoming vassal states to the algorithm.
