Sputnik woke America up in the 1960s. Maybe BYD should do the same today.
We may be behind, but America has never done its best work while sitting comfortably ahead. The U.S. can still catch up. I wrote this on why:

What’s happening with Chinese EV innovation ought to get America’s attention. Fast iteration. Lower costs. Serious scale.
This is bigger than transportation. It’s about whether America intends to compete.

When the Earth Moves Film youtu.be/Cwnkw5pnG38
I did this thing a few years ago for my friend Tia Nelson — a short film on the origins of Earth Day.
In 1970, folks on the left and right agreed there was a problem and got to work.
Seems to me we can do that again.

I’ve found folks don’t respond well to being told they’re the problem. bit.ly/4sMSXes
They respond a whole lot better when you show them a way forward.
In this piece, I write about the missing ingredient in the climate conversation, a path to redemption.

March has kept me moving — enough that my wife might be wondering if I still live at home.
But I wouldn’t trade these conversations. So many thoughtful people stepping up.
Here are a few photos from our creation care event in Indianapolis. Grateful for the opportunities.

From the beginning, we were called “to tend and keep.”
republicen.org/tend-and-keep
On Mar 12 in Indianapolis, we’ll gather at Rejoicing Vine Winery to talk about what that means for us today—faithfully & practically.
Dinner included. Free event.
I’d love to see you there.

Prudence matters. So do facts.
In Texas, battery energy storage has:
• helped avoid blackouts
• lowered prices during winter storms
• strengthened grid reliability as demand grows
Our advisor Larry Linenschmidt explains why fear-based bans make Texans worse off. @LarryLinenschmi

American exceptionalism isn’t about pretending we’re perfect.
It’s about believing we can solve big problems — and then doing the work to prove it.

Appreciate the @dcexaminer including my perspective. Executive orders come and go. Durable policy is built the old-fashioned way — with votes, persuasion, and compromise.

Sen. Tim Scott is right. This crosses a clear moral line. Racism has no place in our politics. Full stop.

Praying it was fake because it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House. The President should remove it.

Fundraising lesson learned:
Never make promises involving chickens unless you’re prepared to follow through.
We hit $5K at @republicEn.
The chicken was kissed.
Accountability achieved.

When the Greenville County (SC) Council was, at long last , considering the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday in 2005, I advised, "If you can improve on Jefferson, Franklin and Adams, you deserve a holiday. He did and he does."
