The cost of renewables is plummeting, heat pumps are selling like crazy, and red states are raking in cash from the IRA. There's no stopping the inevitable.

Some sense to this - global emissions probably just peaked because China's housing bubble burst - responsible for much more CO2 than AI/crypto, and even a communist government can't effectively control such crashes. So no, we are not f****d, but not always saved for noble reasons.
Also regarding crypto - how much of that was sustained by russians evading sanctions - which new team in US is likely to remove ?

Yeah, this statement here is likely closer to the truth than what I wrote earlier.

Hmmm.

Non noble reasons ehhhh? Does Team Trump really want to open free trade with Russia? That really goes against his platform of isolationist racists.

I know Elon Musk wants trade with Russia for that Lithium, Aluminum and Titanium. But Trump also cannot look weak.

Elon will have huge influence (he did appear in the Ukrainian x Trump talk after all). But officially I don't think I've seen anything suggesting Elon Musk influence over foreign policy.
