Austin Bishop
Quant, Investor, neo-industrialist
Austin Bishop is the CEO and co-founder of New American Industrial Alliance, a multi-sector industry association where U.S. companies and investors convene to lead the charge in rebuilding America’s techno-industrial strength.
He is coming on to Triggernometry for the first time tomorrow to discuss the re-industrialisation of the US, and get his thoughts on Europe’s policy on net zero policy, deindustrialisation, manufacturing and energy production.
Comment your questions for Francis and Konstantin to ask Austin tomorrow.
Where I live power cuts are not uncommon and you realise how much of modern life relies on electricity (during the last one I ended up sitting on the balcony in the dark eating crisps watching traffic in the street below as there was nothing else to do).
How much of net zero relies on Europeans not experiencing any kind of energy outage, does Europe need to break before they realise how foolish this is?
Re-industrialization of America will obviously be a slow and painful process and mistakes will be made. What are the immediate priorities and what short-term price must we pay? What are the biggest pitfalls to avoid?
