\n… the fossil fuel industry\u2019s last and best alibi<\/a><\/h2>\nthey drilled and sold us oil because we demanded they do it<\/em><\/p>\nThe book\u2019s premise is simple and echoes the movie: for most of humanity\u2019s history we lived off \u201ccurrent sunlight\u201d captured by plants and turned into food we ate (and food for the animals we ate) and the wood we used to build with and heat our homes.<\/p>\n
Then about 900 years ago we found coal, and a century-and-a-half ago oil, and we started burning through sunlight that had been captured by plants literally millions of years ago, then turned by time and pressure into coal, oil, and methane.<\/em> …<\/p>\nIt turns out that the \u201ccheap energy\u201d Digger claims we all demanded was actually never cheap; it was an inheritance from our planet and instead of conserving or carefully using it we\u2019ve been burning through it like there\u2019s no tomorrow.<\/em>

\nLetters from an American – October 19, 2026<\/a><\/h2>\n… it was exactly ten years ago tonight that then\u2013Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton told the American people that Russian president Vladimir Putin hoped to have a \u201cpuppet\u201d in the White House, and that Donald Trump was that puppet.<\/p>\n
A scowling Trump responded: \u201cNo puppet. No puppet.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clinton continued: \u201cIt\u2019s pretty clear.<\/p>\n
Trump interjected: \u201cYou\u2019re the puppet.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clinton continued: \u201cIt\u2019s pretty clear you won\u2019t admit\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump interjected: \u201cNo, you\u2019re the puppet.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clinton: \u201c…that the Russians have engaged in cyberattacks against the United States of America, that you encouraged espionage against our people, that you are willing to spout the Putin line, sign up for his wish list, break up NATO, do whatever he wants to do, and that you continue to get help from him because he has a very clear favorite in this race.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump shook his head disparagingly.<\/p>\n
Ten years later, Trump is openly embracing Putin and is working to destroy the strongest and most successful alliance in human history to cement that partnership, apparently with an eye to enriching himself.
