Max Weber writes about climate change and energy policy — the claims, the costs, and the actual track record of every solution anyone has ever tried.
He believes the most important question in climate policy is never “what should we do?” but “who pays, who decides, and what happens when it doesn’t work?” The answers are usually uncomfortable.
Before writing, he spent years in energy infrastructure, where he learned that the gap between what politicians promise and what engineering delivers is not an accident — it’s the point.
