You know what may be more alarming? DUC wells in the shale patch are continuing to drain. What happens when that inventory runs out along side of the SPR and commercial crude stock decline.

Real question:

Why do we call this ‘corn on the cob’ when that’s the way it naturally comes?

Surely this is just ‘corn’ and the alternative is ‘corn off the cob’.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Ninepoint Energy Strategies Weekly Update: what does a MOU between Alberta and the Federal Government really mean, what did we learn from 2 days in Houston, and why the oil market is nearing its tipping point:

@emilyopilo Emily, I’m not a @BmoreCityDOT super fan, but of course managing the worst snow and cold snap in a generation would break the budget. A more useful take would compare the response in Baltimore to that of other cities.

🚨The world's 5 largest energy consumers

1 number changes how you read everything else on this chart

🇨🇳 China: 48,400 TWh
🇺🇸 US: 25,800 TWh
🇮🇳 India: 11,200 TWh
🇷🇺 Russia: 9,000 TWh
🇯🇵 Japan: 4,800 TWh

China consumes nearly twice as much energy as the United States.

But the mix is what tells the real story.

China's coal consumption alone is visually larger than the entire US energy stack combined.

The US is running on gas and oil, with nuclear and renewables as meaningful contributors.

China is running on coal, with everything else added on top.

India, the 3rd largest consumer and the fastest growing major economy, is also coal-dominant with gas playing a minimal role compared to its peers.

Russia's profile is the inverse: gas-heavy, oil-significant, almost no coal at scale.

That's a direct reflection of geography Yamal and Western Siberia make gas the default fuel for everything from heating to industry.

Any global energy transition runs through coal in China and India first.

Until those bars change shape, the conversation about net zero is largely theoretical.

The language purposefully obfuscates the issue which is: is the govt or the individual in charge of how one must act. Socialism, communism, fascism, nazism, imperialism and slavery are all on the same side of that question… at the core, they are the same thing

@amuse makes the point exceptionally well

Everyone who cares about climate should understand this. Texas, with no pro-climate policies, has blown passed California in clean energy. In large part because Texas has less red tape and makes it easier to build.

@business @MayorBMScott @TheStalwart @tracyalloway The thing is…. @ivanjbates was the game changer on gun violence. @MayorBMScott was smart enough to let the man work, that’s real leadership too… but the answer was always to lock up the bad guys with guns.

A new "baseline" natural gas home will cost $1,030 less in operating costs than the same all-electric heat pump home, and will save $12,000 over 15 years, including energy and equipment costs.

[Kevin Nelson @KevinTNelson]

@eric_hontz @Zeke_Cohen Maybe reasonable, just a waste of time. No one is building data centers in Baltimore and even permitting one would take more than a year. But Zeke you are correct to be concerned about energy supply, perhaps advocate to build power plants instead of this????

I read the ruling, it basically says gerrymandering is fair game because you can’t distinguish race based gerrymandering from partisan based gerrymandering. I agree this is bad, but only because gerrymandering is bad. All gerrymandering is about suppressing minorities.

We cannot afford to be silent when our democracy is under attack. We will continue to stand with the voters and advocates who are fighting to protect our rights in the courts, in legislatures, and at the ballot box.

[Kevin Nelson @KevinTNelson]

I don’t think that’s the point. The initial round of strikes stopped the Iranian military industrial complex. I wager the blockade is about choking off crude to China, perhaps not to cripple, but to remove their ability to make war.
