If AI ends up being the catalyst for modernizing the US electrical grid, I’ll take it. Let’s not lock out renewables though, if we actually want “energy abundance”, “energy dominance”, or whatever the political packaging is. fortune.com/2025/08/14/d...

When I began talking to ProPublica about using Redica Systems data, back in 2023, I knew it was the right thing to do both for the public and the business. I’m so glad that even after I moved on from Redica, the data is still proving useful.
My latest: Why some potentially contaminated drugs are still allowed into the U.S., despite FDA knowledge of issues like filthy labs and falsified records.
We dug into the data and identified 70 hospitalizations and nine deaths related to these drugs.

NEW: A ProPublica investigation found that for more than a decade, the FDA gave substandard factories banned from the United States a special pass to keep sending drugs to an unsuspecting public.

Marketing is getting more important for climate tech.
Climate tech companies are scrapping "net-zero" for "energy abundance," pitching themselves as defense tech and waiting patiently for news on critical federal funding. Still, VC funding in the sector is up.
