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?
You've talked about how rising energy costs in America created a 'perfect storm'. Obviously energy in Europe and the UK are worse, with the UK earning the dubious accolade of building the most expensive nuclear power plant in the world. Recently Notes on Growth Substacker Sam Dumitriu argued that we need Regulatory Red Teams which eliminate any regulatory burden which doesn't have clear benefits using cost benefit analysis.
Do you think this is a good idea more broadly? Other than fracking, what else do we need to do to lower energy costs and/or make the UK more competitive? How do we attract more venture capital?
Before you guys moved to Substack I could download an audio version of your interviews. Can anyone please let me know where I can do it now? I’ve missed so many of your videos and would like to catch up. Thanks. And please tell FF that my village is still dying! 🤣👍🏻
Reindustrialising would boost US resilience, especially against hostile powers. It also helps if other like-minded countries—mainly the Five Eyes—do the same, since they can support US power projection and serve as forward bases for maintaining US assets.
So, what should the US do to encourage reindustrialisation in these partners? And how can it help—without handing out money?

If Austin was advising Donald Trump, which two industrial policies would he advise Trump to implement asap in the US?
