As always, clever and original. Thankfully, harder and harder to be original on the theme that you have for so long and so well advocated for. :). It is a shame that the narrative of blame for the energy crisis is on Putin, who only accelerated the walking the plank, rather than the unrealistic [and poor] decisions by politicians and policymakers.
"... a badly managed energy transition..." I'd question whether any transition needs to be managed at all. Hands off people in government who think they know everything and what's good for everyone. Let the invisible hand of the market decide. Let the billions of people on earth with their own interests at stake, both individually and in businesses or other organisations, decide what's best for them. If there's a transition as a result, it will happen as slow or as fast as people drive it. It wasn't that long ago there were no smartphones. Now there are billions of them everywhere. No managing required! Right now the energy "transition" isn't happening despite trillions in subsidies and top-down strong-arm tactics.

Thank you Fabiano. Have a great Christmas and hope to see you in 2023!

Always enjoy your writing. Merry Xmas.
Keep writing Richard. Hope you have a diesel generator just in case :) !Thanks
Glad to have found you.
Thank you.
Happy New Year.
I'll try to learn more about energy and apply that knowledge to the question of food systems & human flourishing.
