Retired US admiral wants American land, sea and air drone development to quit coasts for the Great Lakes
What must be another sign of America's decoupling from China is the pressure to accelerate an already established trend to move drone research away from the more vulnerable coastal areas to the interior of the Great Lakes.
Retired US Vice Admiral James Stavridis, writing a Bloomberg essay, wants such research to be even more narrowly confined to Lake Michigan, which is entirely within the borders of the Lower 48 of the United States.

Would a switch to that 'unforgiving energy', nuclear power, solve our fuel problem to ecologists' satisfaction?
Until Russia invaded the Ukraine in February 2022, it had been the Port of Hamburg's fourth largest trading partner, but slipped into 27th place thereafter.
Blessed with a mild winter Europe did not suffer nearly as much as many feared because of its long-standing dependence on Russian oil and gas, the flow of which was cut off by the conflict bureaucratically even before it was physically truncated by the sabotage of the underwater Nord Stream pipeline.

Weighing relative merits of landing cargo at east and west coast ports by using Panama versus Suez canals
