As our regular listeners know, I am a humanitarian and environmentalist first. Energy poverty and hypocrisy is alive and well around the world. Finding Daniel on LinkedIn was an eye-opener. The form of energy is the differentiator. From slavery to fission and hopefully fission nuclear is a wild ride through humanity.

People go to wars over energy, and energy hypocrisy is rampant in today's global society. Why is New York buying Russian jet fuel in record amounts, another example is California buying oil from the rain forest being drilled by China. What about the child abuse in Africa to get critical minerals for an energy transition? And the whales and other migratory animals.

Sanctions do not work, and the current administration has weaponized the dollar to a point the rest of the world is joining BRICS. January 1 2024 BRICS + will control 80% of the global oil and even more of the global nuclear potential growth. The United States has become irrelevant, due to our current leadership.

Follow Daniel on his LinkedIn, and we need to ask the really tough questions. Where do we go from here? Thank you for your time Daniel on the podcast. This was one of my toughest podcasts as there were some serious topics that were painful.

I am lining up Marine, Critical Mineral, Geopolitical, Oil, Gas, Renewable, and Financial industry leaders to talk about these issues. I am not a journalist, but I believe in my staff, and our Energy News Beat channel to deliver news and opinions that you will not see in the mainstream media. Follow other great podcasts and Substack authors, and if you are an industry leader, get on our podcasts to spread the word.

Daniel posted on his LinkedIn page this morning:

"It's a civilization cycle thing. I can't stop laughing. I'm telling you, these are no ordinary times that we're living in. Things are getting wild.

Biden weaponizing the DoJ, trying to take out your chief political opponent from the other party, attempting to ban democracy etc., could prove to be a terrible mistake.

Not only the end of the Liberal Empire but the end of the United States as we know it."
