“The fight against climate change is going to change more in the next four years than it has in the past 40.” One reason is America’s $374 billion Inflation Reduction Act that may ultimately result in spending of $800 billion to spur green energy and other adaptations. The act makes “betting on clean energy one of the most certain economic trends of the next few years. Clean energy is now the safe, smart, government-backed bet for conservative investors.” This “shocking reversal” still hasn’t fully “been metabolized by the world of people involved in the issue.”

“Sure, self-driving cars are smart. But can they learn ethics?” Not everyone is concerned. “Academics worry how A.I. will be programmed to navigate ethical dilemmas. Founders of A.I.-driven companies don’t.” But many tricky decisions experienced by drivers “as a one-off” will need examination because ultimately “driverless cars must grapple with it at scale.”

“Hillary Clinton would make a sober, smart and pragmatic president. Donald Trump would be a catastrophe.” Electing the first female U.S. president “would surely be as exhilarating as it is long overdue…. But that’s not the chief reason to vote for her. She deserves America’s support because she is the overwhelmingly better candidate.”
