They go on and they say, thanks to Russian President Vladimir Putin's criminal war in Ukraine and its ongoing reprennization of energy for injecting a new dose of hard-headed reality to the climate conversation. It's still to have been so clear that energy security and cleaner energy are indivisible. The guiding principle is the energy sustainable trilemma, trilemma, defined as needing to balance energy, reliable, affordable, and sustainable. All right, so I just want to press pause there. and get any thoughts with you on what you hear from Mr. Kemp as he writes about the conference and the shake who's in charge of UAE's efforts. So he's saying Jabbar is the guy who's going to carry the water. He's the guy, he's their boy, they're propping him up. He's going to be, and so they're backfilling the SEO. And that's very, very important, especially in today's digital space when you're conducting psychological operations, you always want to backfill the SEO. What's the date on this article? It is January 2023. Okay. I would be curious to see since then, or in the very near future where something happens, that's a little bit controversial, right? Because he's balancing fossil fuels and the, and the, and the climate change folks. And so I would guess that at some point in time, he's going to hit something that's controversial and therefore they're expecting it. So you want to backfill the SEO with a whole bunch of positive things about your guy. So when people attack him, cause they're planning on doing something controversial, they can go, no, This is a good guy. Look at all the information that's been written about him. It's backfilling the SEO. That's doctrine and technique. And I think it's important to talk to the people watching is that we're not talking about who's right, who's wrong and good, bad and everything. We're talking about technique here. This is technique. Everybody does this. There is no good guy, bad guy when it comes to these techniques. Literally, everybody does it in order to be effective. So this is done on the 14th of January. My birthday is the 17th of January. And on that day, there is a story that's dropped. Let's read this story. So we are now looking at from the Washington Free Beacon, a story written by Chuck Ross. And he writes, headline, the UAE has donated millions to the Atlantic Council. They just got a glowing op-ed from the think tank's chief. Guess who? Fred Kemp. And he did not disclose millions in Emirati funding in a gushing article. And so then he goes on to break down all of this, you know, renewable generating stuff. And he talks on and on about, you know, the article that the op-ed that was written. And so we could read that whole thing, but here it is three days later. So we have this, I mean, look, I'm going to come back to you now and I'm going to stop sharing because I think we can talk about this for a few moments here.
