The era of defragmentation of the responsible/sustainable/impact/category is here. Solar and Wind are back to being energy access rather than ‘climate’, as net zero was part fiction pedaled as climate aspiration. Nuclear and coal provide the base load power for AI and Data centers, and with increasing energy demand, we will see more of these including American Oil enter the market.

As we return to oil exploration and coal-based power again, there needs to be better ways to ensure the communities have equity in the new (or old?) era of energy. And the sustainability that we have come to recognize since the Paris Accord requires a broader understanding of the issues of the global majority.
