– Buddhist proverb “The tools [in this book] only work if your intention is to do something positive for the world” This was the opening statement from my first book “How to Change the World with one Pitch.” I wrote the book for others. I never expected it would become the manual I turned to […]

From 1 September 2025, Vietnam’s Central Bank began freezing 86 Million accounts that lacked user biometric data, stating that the reason was “fraud prevention.” This significant step gives pause to ask “what are the risks of widespread biometric data on financial accounts?”, “do alternatives exist” and “is fraud prevention really what this is about?” Introduction

What’s going on? Independent Whitepapers, peer reviewed papers, sustainability media companies, mainstream media and specialists in the field of grid operations, energy and renewable generation have all endorsed Bitcoin mining’s growing list of environmental benefits. This is quite a turnaround from 2021, when it was not uncommon for people to believe that Bitcoin mining was

Question: If an interviewer feeds the interviewee the line “there are these billion dollar companies that are profiting off the back of these poor working people”, we can reliably assume that their work is something other than investigative journalism.

By failing to engage with the latest research and developments, Earthjustice risks undermining efforts to leverage Bitcoin mining as a tool that benefits the environmental across a range of metrics.

Overview As a climatetech investor, I consider our top four climate issues that technology can help us resolve to be: 1. Remove bottlenecks to getting more renewable energy onto the Grid Accelerating the green energy transition means we must overcome these four sub-challenges: 2. Replace Fossil fuel based heat with electrically based heat 3. Increase

Gas peaker plants, which fire up during periods of high electricity demand, are a critical yet environmentally damaging component of many energy grids. These plants emit significant amounts of CO2, nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter, disproportionately impacting low-income communities near their locations. While there is broad consensus on the need to phase them out,

The World Bank set an ambitious goal: eliminate nearly all gas flaring by 2030. Flaring, the burning of excess natural gas during oil extraction, is a major environmental problem, releasing millions of tons of CO2e (CO2 equivalents) in the form of methane and other toxic pollutants into the atmosphere annually. The problem is, flaring only
