Chris Lockwood, Europe editor for The Economist, analyzes Greece's recent elections, where Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis performed surprisingly well despite lacking a majority. He discusses the implications for Greece's rebound and governance challenges. Vijay Vaitheeswaran, global energy and climate innovation editor, explores the surge in U.S. clean energy lobbying motivated by new investments. The conversation also touches on innovative defense strategies, highlighting how simple nets are being creatively used to protect against drones in modern warfare.

Will he be able to continue the country’s rebound story? America’s clean energy investments are spurring green lobbyists to action. And, how might simple nets protect Ukrainians from drones?
