If there's one thing you can DEFINITELY SAY about the war between Russia and The Ukraine, it is that these geopolitical storms have completely reshaped the way that energy independence is prioritized in North America.
Just like the Chinese cannot be relied upon for global commerce any longer, the Russian government have proven themselves to be totally unpredictable, when it comes to energy and electricity.
In my career, I've seen many types of business and financial opportunities, but none SO CLEAR as a politically-driven mandate.
