What I’m saying is we should pretend that there is an option to reopen Nord Stream, and use it as leverage with the autocrat in the East and the would-be autocrat in the West, who both are very much pro-fossil.

Can we do that in North America, please? We’re installing conservatives everywhere, and all they do is sell the rights to American Petro-corps.
