@gnievchenko Sometimes people ask me “what’s the key to the Irish economy of the past 30 years?”

I tell them there’s this one weird trick: organising mass in style

A local priest celebrates mass in the back of a truck at the Athlone fuel protest this morning.

The protests in Dublin, Cork and Galway may have been broken up overnight, but this movement is far from finished, with many protests still ongoing around the country today.

@AndreasenJack There’s so much silly noise on this issue but this is very helpful.

On the issue of reserves, I found this analysis to be particularly helpful in outlining the specific challenges that come with E&P in the Orinoco belt: https://t.co/RrXkWErYGj

@DaveKeating @sjmk0 Much like the “democracy is on the ballot” point which the Dems pushed last year, most ordinary Europeans really don’t give a damn about intl. law because it’s intangible and is never consistently applied anywhere. I don’t understand how the Brussels twitterati don’t get this.

@MLiebreich Risk is priced in. Commodity markets have learned that noise =/= actual disruption of flows and usually Trump’s bark is a lot bigger than his bite, especially when markets are at stake (e.g. tariff walk-backs).

@gideonrachman @JavierBlas Have you perhaps maybe just considered the little detail that both of those guys were democratically elected in reasonably fair elections and Maduro was not?

@SStapczynski Who’s he started a war with?

[Ayvard Pernot @EPernot]

@ragipsoylu Ah, so a “special military operation” can take 3 hours, not 3 years? Someone should tell Vlad

[Ayvard Pernot @EPernot]

@adam_tooze @JesseJenkins It’s an older term but became formalised in the late 00’s yes, largely because of its political convenience: the left wants RES, right wants FF and both kinda like ☢️.

As regards lock-in, that’s a separate issue. Don’t forget states like TX lead the nation on RES buildout.

@adam_tooze @JesseJenkins Technologieoffenheit in the 🇩🇪 =/= as “all of the above” in 🇺🇸 one. Literally they’re similar terms, figuratively they’re not. The former was used to push efuels, H2-boilers and other crap. The latter is broader and not as loaded.

(I lived in 🇩🇪 for years & fluent speaker btw)

[Ayvard Pernot @EPernot]

@adam_tooze Adam, with all due respect, you’re far too informed to be sharing stuff from that absolute grifter.

[Ayvard Pernot @EPernot]

@jsfreed @atrembath Ah she’s a well known crank, always crowing about CCS being evil ad nauseam. She figured out a while back how to make a career from being a professional climate shitposter on twitter and ran with it.

[Ayvard Pernot @EPernot]

@AndreasenJack yeah I stole the template from here years ago. It’s just too good to not re-use

[Ayvard Pernot @EPernot]

@AndreasenJack 3 years on and your meme is as relevant as ever

[Ayvard Pernot @EPernot]

Visited a pretty big lime plant in 🇫🇷 today

Such a cool, underrated industry with applications in so many sectors, possibly the most essential application for CCS

Also, lime plants are hella dusty

[Ayvard Pernot @EPernot]

@olivertedwards @gnievchenko Anyone’s guess tbh. It’s pretty clear though that any CCU application will suffer from the offtake issue, whereas most CCS applications will depend on existing markets shifting to greener products (cement etc) or selling removals which seems easier to justify than CCU materials.

[Ayvard Pernot @EPernot]

@gnievchenko Perhaps in Europe but definitely not in developing countries.

It’s bizarre eSAF still gets funding even from EIC despite all of this evidence: I saw this eSAF startup got €6.8m in funding https://t.co/vYphXQdf09

[Ayvard Pernot @EPernot]

@DaveKeating Well is he wrong? It’s not like any of us elected one anyways, despite how certain *ahem* people are acting these days

[Ayvard Pernot @EPernot]

@gnievchenko seeing that the market and people seem to be getting slightly colder feet about AI now over this MIT study, maybe they skip data centres and start looking at drone manufacturing or defense tech already?
