Where this writer stands

Climate1 piece

Faster fossil phase-downSlower phase-down, production first
“The only real defence against the next oil war, in whatever form it takes, is alternative forms of energy. The world is moving in that direction, and will certainly increase its adoption rate in the wake of Iran.” Read the piece

Energy1 piece

Restrict new oil and gasExpand production and export
“The Trump administration's subsidies to the oil and gas industry (US$35-billion annually), the rollback of environmental laws and the opening of public lands to "drill, baby, drill" provide short-term gains for the fossil fuel industry, but increasingly hamstring America's energy future.” Read the piece

Only opinion columns and editorials are scored. Each piece is read twice by a language model, which records the author's own stance on a policy topic only where the piece argues one, with a quote that must appear in the piece. An author's position on a topic is the average of their pieces, weighted by the model's confidence. News reporting is listed but never scored.
