Stocks are up cause of Jevons Paradox. As soon as they went down in price, everyone could afford to buy more of them.

[Ed Crooks @Ed_Crooks]

@Consultifi 😂

[Ed Crooks @Ed_Crooks]

I am pleased to see the Jevons Paradox being widely discussed in the past few days. I wrote about it in the context of AI last year. As William Jevons put it, it is “wholly a confusion of ideas to suppose that the economical use of fuel is equivalent to a diminished consumption”

[Ed Crooks @Ed_Crooks]

@Consultifi Although they were more often on tour with the Cournot-Nash Equilibrium

@tyler_bryant 🎯💯

@samori8 Exactly. It was like secret knowledge for the fans. I mean: it’s great to see it achieving mainstream popularity. But I can’t help feeling we have lost something

The Jimi Hendrix Experience. The Cecil Taylor Unit. The Jeff Healey Band. The William Jevons Paradox

[Ed Crooks @Ed_Crooks]

I liked the Jevons Paradox when it was playing the small clubs

@Matt__Miller Thanks!

But jury still out @AmyJaffeenergy prediction a year ago that 2024 would finally be hydrogen’s year. @Ed_Crooks maybe this end of year geologic hydrogen discovery means I was still correct https://t.co/k6paDDyrzS

[Amy Myers Jaffe @AmyJaffeenergy]

Take an end of year listen to @TheEnergyGang as we discuss where we were dead to right @Ed_Crooks re rise of @BYDCompany @mclott on geothermal @fervoenergy @AmyJaffeenergy on geopolitics of European electricity https://t.co/4ONUv6N72G

[Ed Crooks @Ed_Crooks]

@JosephMajkut @TheEnergyGang @mclott So it isn't! It is actually Brett Christophers. We should clarify that

[Ed Crooks @Ed_Crooks]

Merry Christmas, everyone

[Energy Gang @TheEnergyGang]

Do Microsoft and Google have an answer for the rising demand of electricity?

As we reflect on our top episodes of 2024, this one stands out. @Ed_Crooks & @mclott discuss Microsoft and Google alliance with Nucor to tackle the energy crisis.

I kid of course. Really looking forward to this. Presumably it’s Pattinson as Odysseus, Holland as Telemachus, Zendaya as Nausicaa, Hathaway as Penelope, Nyong’o as Calypso and Damon as Mentor. Although Hathaway as Calypso and Nyong’o as Penelope might be more interesting casting

[Ed Crooks @Ed_Crooks]

Excited to see Nolan taking on the story of a brilliant but troubled man who has to overcome a series of challenges, and the loyal wife and child who wait for him. A bit of a departure there

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Christopher Nolan’s next film is an adaption of ‘THE ODYSSEY’

• Described as a mythic action epic that follows the tale of Odysseus & his 10-year journey home after the Trojan War

• Starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Matt Damon, Lupita Nyong’o and Robert Pattinson

[Ed Crooks @Ed_Crooks]

What happened at #COP29? In the latest episode of @TheEnergyGang, I take a downbeat view of the implications of the outcome, while @mclott and @AmyAHarder find reasons to be more positive. Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts: https://t.co/TR2JRHBs31
