One of the best English professors I have had made the statement that what one takes from reading is what one brings of oneself to the text.

I am not responsible for the mentality that only sees opportunities for bloodlust.

I think about nuclear issues for much of the day, and to the extent that I consider weapons at all, it is only to consider how valuable the materials within them would be if they were disassembled and the materials therein deployed to fight climate change.

The article is quite clear about what is being discussed, fighting poverty with clean energy.
