Such good defense from Lando. Loved to see it.

Like. It’s weird. I like Zak. I like Lando. But something about McLaren gruffs me. Bearing in mind I joined the sport in 2010 and was a BUT fan during their Vodafone livery days and started watching with ALO at Ferrari … They’ve just been shit to their drivers from the HAM/BUT days onwards. Bad choices in partnerships. Yadda yadda.

At least they got more sponsors on the car since 2016.

They just make me shrug.

They’re fine, but they’re kinda fuckups.

I want to see more privateer teams like them and Williams do well. But I also want 12 teams on the grid and I don’t want to see teams disappear.

Somehow the formula needs to have more chance for competition?

Shrug.

How did the current administration “cutback” in oil? You’re speaking of a for-profit industry that is famously the most boom and bust of commodities, no?

It’s appropriate to flock to the future. I expect our government to be forward looking and invest in the future.

I would be disappointed to see the American government prop up the hydrocarbon industry and its move to single-use plastic production rather than incentivize the growth of renewable energy.

Is the current level of US government fossil fuel subsidies of $10-$50 billion per year too little?

Getting the tax credit back up to 30% instead of 26% and trending downwards for individuals on solar and geothermal has been fantastic for me. That’s in the infrastructure act - The Inflation Reduction Act.

Actual dollar incentives in my pocket in order to dramatically increase my personal energy efficiency while reducing my fossil fuel consumption. All while in no way directly negatively penalizing fossil fuel consumption.

That’s pretty sweet.

Did the Trump administration sign any legislation to do anything in particular to incentivize renewable energy at the individual level?
