The MOU is only interested in nuclear and CCUS as an emissions abatement strategy. Both of which will need massive public investment. Renewables, that are low cost and easily developed by private capital? Not interested.

You wouldn't have had to read his book to know what he stood for, up until he was elected. It was all over the news, in every speech he gave in the past 5 years. Extracting and burning bitumen is the problematic part.
For those of us who were informed, it was a bait and switch and we won't forget.

LLMs give people with delusional belief systems a way to organise those beliefs. The model fills in gaps, supplies connective tissue, and wraps the madness in formal language.
