No. He's not kidding. It's a sticky wicket this public private cooperation thing. The only problem is that the public generally has little knowledge of the interconnectedness of their elected leaders and their private agreements. What else is new? How long has the President-elect been in government? Dare I say a really long time? I'm sure the MSM and one or another committee will eventually get to the bottom of it. Yay 20/20 vision and behold the new visionaries!
The race is on to find a steady source of lithium, a key component in rechargeable electric car batteries. But while the EU focuses on emissions, the lithium gold rush threatens environmental damage on an industrial scale

I suppose climate risk could be another product to monetize...however we get there.

The U.S. financial system, including banks, agricultural and oil interests, as well as regulators and investors, requires a unified front in accounting for climate-change risk, says the first comprehensive government report on such efforts.
Notably, the report released Tuesday by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and an affiliated panel representing several sectors revives a call for taxing carbon pollution.
The CFTCâs Climate-Related Market Risk Subcommittee of the Market Risk Advisory Committee released its findings in Managing Climate Risk in the U.S. Financial System. The panel behind the release voted unanimously 34-0 to adopt the over 190-page report which recommends that 16 financial regulators and other bodies âincorporate climate-related risk into their mandates and develop a strategy for integrating these risks in their work, including into their existing monitoring and oversight functions.â Disjointed rules and goals has been a major gripe from an investing world thatâs increasingly factoring in climate change to decision-making.
