Confronting the energy transition, the US ideally would want to achieve a secure, green, and affordable supply chain. But when it comes to making the second-order choices, it becomes evident that achieving all three is nearly impossible. Damien Ma explains why in his latest work: https://lnkd.in/gGZCXkHf
