U.S. Protectionism Gives Boost to Russian Energy Imports
"Passed in 1920, the Jones Act restricts the domestic waterborne transport of goods to vessels that are U.S.-flagged, U.S.-built and mostly U.S.-crewed and owned. But such vessels are several times more expensive to build and operate than foreign ships, resulting in very high shipping rates.

Energy Sanctions Are a Weapon Putin Would Understand
"Saudi Arabia’s 2020 oil price war demonstrated the power of energy as a lever over Mr. Putin. Saudi willingness to flood the market despite the hit to its finances sent crude prices below zero, chastening Mr. Putin and restoring cooperation between Moscow and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries."
Burnt Island Ventures Raises $30 Million For Early-Stage Water Startups
"The global water industry is massive and filled with opportunity for innovation, but it’s also sprawling, fragmented and buried under layers of government bureaucracy, industry expert Tom Ferguson says. While some estimates place the total value of water-based enterprises, including those meant to address climate change, at $500 billion worldwide, the market hasn’t advanced at the same pace as adjacent industries such as green energy."
