The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has been an accelerator for the energy transition I told @npr.org. In an uncertain world, many countries found that investing in renewables and EVs give them energy security – and makes economic sense. And that's not going away. www.npr.org/2026/07/09/n...
The Iran war has pushed some countries away from oil and toward clean energy
The new round of bombing in the Middle East has underscored the precarity of relying on fossil fuels. The war is speeding up the global transition to EVs, solar, and batteries, experts say.

8/ Long before Sequoia existed, she was a doctoral candidate in the Anthropology department at Oslo University. Camille is a climate activist from Norway and Rachel is part of the US delegation stationed at the United Nations. #booksky #books #book #novel #fiction #climate #crime #detective #mystery
7/ Kaija, Camille, and Rachel are instrumental in bringing Sequoia into existence. Kaija is the symbolic mayor of Sequoia. She is not a climate refugee. In fact, she is a Sami whose ancestors have lived in the Laplands - the region in which Sequoia is situated - for several millennia.
6/ Tozi, Carlos, Nadia, and Santosh are Alia’s colleagues. Tozi is the coordinator of the team and leads the digital aspects of the investigation. Carlos is focused on interviewing individuals while Santosh deals with the forensics. Nadia organizes and leads canvassing.
4/ The genesis of Sequoia hides a dark secret which comes to light as the situation spirals out of control threatening the existence of the city. Alia, a young police detective, is leading the two murder investigations. She has a 100% solve rate. But, the first murder has thoroughly stumped her.
3/ Sequoia has been in existence for five years when the first-ever death in the city occurs which also happens to be a murder. Even before the criminal is caught, a second murder occurs that serves as a trigger for violent repercussions all around the world including in Sequoia.
2/ The main themes that intersect over the course of the story include mass migration because of climate change, tribal behavior, and existential dilemmas faced by individuals. #booksky #books #book #novel #fiction #climate #crime #detective #mystery #thriller #crimefiction #climatefiction
