Insight and inspiration in turbulent times.
I’m sticking with writers of The Oil Drum, their kindred spirits, and the information that is publicly available. If CERA would like to join the conversation instead of merely engaging in public relations campaigns, that would be a step in the right direction

The choice before us is: mobilize and start pushing, or don’t.
