And it means giving people who want to drill for geothermal power the same regulatory favors that oil drillers already enjoy. https://t.co/IxMy8tJh94 — PolitiTweet.org

But we should also recognize the large upside to developing zero-carbon energy sources that don't rely on a gas complement. That means examining nuclear in a comprehensive cost-benefit framework. https://t.co/wH2VEIuTwJ — PolitiTweet.org

We shouldn't just bemoan the fact that Putin's "keep it in the ground" philosophy has raised emissions, we should let that information inform our thinking about policy. We should be less fanatical about anti-natural gas policymaking. https://t.co/wbcTnK7sM1 — PolitiTweet.org

Natural gas is cleaner-burning on its own terms than alternatives like coal for electricity or burning wood for heat. But natural gas also complements solar and wind. When gas is expensive, renewables are expensive too. https://t.co/KHNEpDBSWX — PolitiTweet.org

Now Putin didn't do that for environmental reasons, he did it for geopolitical reasons. But the fact remains, making natural gas scarcer and more expensive pushed emissions up and not down. That's interesting! — PolitiTweet.org

I think it does people a disservice to not explain *why* "war in Europe" has made it harder for countries to fulfill their climate pledges. After all, what happened in Europe is Putin halted natural gas exports. https://t.co/Mlb8Mpwwnb https://t.co/wbnnqa8i22 — PolitiTweet.org

What makes China scary is its scale, the exact same thing that makes the USA a global superpower while Canada is just a random nice place to live. Past American leaders cultivated population growth as a source of national strength and we should too. https://t.co/xf0WHbEayM — PolitiTweet.org

The old Clinton-Bush "engagement" formula for China failed. Trump ditched it and Biden has if anything implemented a tougher, more rigorous version of Trumpism. But trying to kneecap Chinese development is risky and prone to failure. We need more tools. https://t.co/xf0WHbEayM — PolitiTweet.org

The US government's war aims against Japan were unconditional surrender right up until the day we accepted surrender on condition that the emperor would remain in office. — PolitiTweet.org

I will happily join everyone in doing stentorian "The United States cannot simply outsource its judgments to its pros in Kyiv..." denunciations if this situation manifests itself, but since it's not a real situation it's weird to be so angry about it. — PolitiTweet.org

A lot of people have made up a hypothetical scenario in which Russia wants to do a peace deal but Ukraine is refusing and Joe Biden is stubbornly backing up Ukraine and getting very angry about his hypothetical bad choice but like ... this isn't a real thing? — PolitiTweet.org

@WillOremus @Joer14 @MikeIsaac @etbrooking Accept the unsold inventory is objectively against the interests of publishers, so even if the "it's signed so it's no good" argument is purely pretextual it's still something they use. As a writer, I agree this is annoying and dumb. — PolitiTweet.org
