He investigates lithium battery fires and the risks of large-scale energy storage, portraying the “green economy” as a centralized system that sacrifices safety and liberty.

Knight frames the nation’s political divisions as a deeper spiritual crisis, arguing that both right and left have abandoned virtue for power and personality worship.
