@TheStalwart @gladstein Question: what is the stance of Putin’s regime towards crypto? In 2000s, It pursued a strong policy of dedollarization and monetary sovereignty. How does that sit with crypto?

@ggargiulo3 @KateAronoff I agree with you. But I think for that very reason my ideal would be for the US to pull back from interference in OPEC. The priority should be to enable the bottom half of the US income distribution to break the fossil fuel habit as quickly and painlessly as possible.
@eau_really We arent just “dependent" on cars. If this was a matter of utility how many F-150s do you think America is truly dependent on owning? How many SUVs are Americans dependent on owning?
@ggargiulo3 There really is NO distinction at this point btw short and long-term. Upholding that distinction is part of the soft denial that @KateAronoff has skewered so effectively.
@tedfertik @JWMason1 @andrewelrod PLUS pressure OPEC into increasing production. Yup, very throwback indeed!
@ggargiulo3 Sure. But what this publicly confirms is that the Biden admin is still in the game of using US geopolitical power to anchor US standard of living on cheap oil. If they are serious about decarbonization that needs to end.
“…. simply not enough”. Judgement of Biden’s NSA Jake Sullivan not on decarbonization, but on OPEC+ decision to INCREASE oil production. Is this the moment when whatever momentum there was towards decarbonization breaks? theguardian.com/commentisfree/… https://t.co/0oUmmglDwe

Americans love cheap gas. We have got to break the habit. To which end it is unhelpful to have your Nat Sec Advisor declare it the job of US gov to bully OPEC into increasing prod whenever prices twitch, which is what Biden just did!
