And there's a slight tendency to governments to talk about the future of energy as though it's some distant concept awaiting its next committee report.

But in reality, of course, it's already being built, field by field, turbine by turbine, by companies like Fuse Energy.

Every home that they power brings that future close to the present, whether it's panels catching light or turbines turning across the country.

And this is progress which isn't measured just in targets and slogans, but in sunlight, in wind, in electricity, and a bit of British persistence.

The energy transition isn't tomorrow's problem.

It's today.

And Fuse Energy is actually doing something to address it.

Yes, so we're going to look, I think, at the big international issues at the moment.

We're going to return to Ukraine, which people, I hope, have listened to our pod where we went in detail into the Russia-Trump-Ukraine plan.

We're going to look at these big multilateral meetings that have been happening this week, in particular COP and the G20, so climate and the G20.

We're going to be looking at Russia and the far right in Europe, and in particular, the prosecution of Nathan Gill.

And we're also going to be touching on some other issues that really matter, including Addiction Awareness Week.

So, Ukraine.

But I think that let's go back to it.

I mean, this is the fundamental problem that the Europeans have had from the beginning, which is believing that the Americans are on the European side.

Yeah.

And that's what I feel.

I feel the fundamental way in which, unfortunately, the Europeans keep deluding themselves since January is they think America's basically on Europe's side against Russia, and that there's some small misunderstanding.

If they just get on a plane or rewrite a draft, Trump will suddenly see the truth.

He'll suddenly realize that actually Russia poses a threat to Europe, that Russia invaded Ukraine, that Ukraine should defend itself.
