The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

OT - Apologies to the board for bringing up the Trump dinner recording. I just noticed I started a whole slew of OT posts that got deleted.

I thought that the commentaries regarding energy related topics from various guests were appropriate and interesting from the standpoint that Ukraine got wrapped into the discussion because of prospective oil (BS, just look at Poland's low grade stuff and mostly gas). Lots of bias views and rear view mirror talk as expected. What one would expect from such a dinner party given the guests invited. I hope actual policies are more inclusive of folks that have their ears to the rails wrt renewables. Folks like the CEO of NEE which will at some point be bigger than CVX and probably XOM, or even the CEO of Lukoil or VW who seem to get it as far as where the future is heading quicker than a group of guest stuck in the past with a short term focus on ROR and zero thought on the sustainability of those ROR's.
