2025 US presidential inauguration and less than a month since fires
devastated LA, American journalist James Pogue and energy
specialist Ellie Holbrook talk us through the current political
terrain. James has been covering the New Right since the early
2010s. His back-to-back features this month on the Republican
party’s uneasy Tech/MAGA alliance (NYTimes) and the demise of the
Dems (Vanity Fair) are, together, an essential primer for how power
works today. With literal power (fuel) being part of this equation,
Ellie shares her knowledge on the energy trade and LNG markets in
particular. What follows in an orientation for our strange new
real. See also:

James Pogue, The Natural Division (Pantheon) is “a first-person
journey deep into a region at the epicenter of both America’s
megafires and militia politics, told through California’s far-flung
northern State of Jefferson.” NM82: James Pogue on American Futures
