Today's top story: Biden's drilling ban

 

We start each newsletter with one update for everyone: the relevant story getting the most coverage across hundreds of press outlets online. Today it's Biden's move to ban offshore oil drilling. Good coverage on TruthOut: Biden Permanently Bans Offshore Drilling Across 625M Acres of Coastal Territory. This executive action could be difficult for the Trump administration to reverse.

 

Biden's got 2 weeks to go and that reminds me of a sentiment we can Robin Hood for many circumstances: the projects most likely to succeed are the ones where the founders stay focused on the remaining window of opportunity, no matter how small it grows. I picture Indiana Jones sliding into the gap below a falling stone blockade. That's what prolific startup investor Ben Horowitz writes in his book The Hard Thing About Hard Things (summary) That's got me through some tough scrapes before.

 

I hope the Biden administration works right up to the last minute and beyond to strengthen their legacy and protect as much of the natural world as possible.

 

Thanks for joining us here. If you were reading this by email, I'd say: Let's dig into some updates just for you. Since you're on our site - read on for the whole collection.

Visual of the Day

More circular economy

A fun one from the AP and Huffington Post on Friday: Elephants At Berlin Zoo Get Unsold Christmas Trees As Late Holiday Gifts. "The animals not only eat the trees, they fight with them, rub themselves against them and 'do various other things' a zoo spokesman said.

 

I did some analysis last week looking at all the categories of news and updates we cover here, looking for which ones had moderate maturity and high momentum, in terms of investment flows, regulatory, and other policy developments worldwide, and you know what jumped out? Circular economy. The Interface carbon storage carpet tile company jumped out as a cool example - but sending unsold Christmas trees to elephants to eat and play with is pretty cool too.
