Replying to @shashj
I don't see it's such a logistical challenge - Ukraine is right there, at the end of decent transport links. Much more of a strategic and political challenge, espec. if deployed on the eastern side of the Dnipro - & a west-side only deployment would be worse than no troops at all

The question of Ukraine joining Nato remains unanswered. Zelensky's allies believe membership is the only way to protect Ukraine, but could it be a grave mistake? @owenmatth | @lisa_haseldine

The story on electricity demand growth from AI and data centres is ridiculously overblown. Excellent graph from the new @IEA World Energy Outlook: data centres projected to drive about 5% of electricity demand growth. Please focus on the real challenges and tune out pundits who peddle this story. H/T @KingsmillBond

We've looked at battery recycling in Europe for 2+ years, supported by VPs that built this industry in the US. It's a promising market, but replicating Redwood is likely not enough to deliver a venture-scale outcome. Find out why: transition.vc/library/europe…
