Had students ask if it was okay to cite articles from the “nineteen hundreds” :(
Academics in 2025 be like “recent research shows…” and cite a 2001 study.

Really fantastic piece. I’m curious if affordability only “plays” during low unemployment and high inflation, then political messaging around energy transitions necessarily has to follow the business cycle.

Also, difficult to get around those who blatantly (and successfully) lie about costs…
"The message was specific, straightforward, and had nothing to do with the warming planet."

The Messaging War Over Energy Costs Is Just Beginning
The new climate politics are all about affordability.
