@LukeGromen When you say you’re overweight electrical infrastructure equities, can you give a few examples or explain your approach there?

[Spudster @_spudster_]

@LukeGromen If gov’t receipts drop due to AI/unemployment, what is the feasibility (math, politics) of shifting taxes elsewhere to adjust for the new employment situation?

@DrNeilStone @RocheJim @stkirsch Look at the last paragraph on page 51 of the final report from the Salk trial: https://t.co/zovSCL3Ypx

200,000 did not receive a saline placebo. They received a “199 solution” with phenol red, antibiotics, and formalin.

@stkirsch is right

[Spudster @_spudster_]

Climate change ftw

Just your average billionaire “boating accident” 🤔

Nothing to see here…

[Mark Nelson @energybants]

Too perfect that @grist could write this entire article, completely miss the fact that Chicago electricity is ~100% zero carbon nuclear, and make the story about recycling drink cans and sketchy offsets instead.

"Climate" reporting still has so far to go in energy literacy.

“What does that even mean?!”

Seems important

[Alex Trembath @atrembath]

Over the past 50 years, the global mean temperature has increased by over 1 degree celsius. In that time, global agricultural output has increased four-fold.

Here comes Africa

[Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil]

You have to understand:

China's population is declining at an accelerating rate. Each year will be like losing an entire small European country.

This will change the world.

@MatthewWielicki Ha nice one

[Spudster @_spudster_]

@simonmaechling Thank you good sir!

[Spudster @_spudster_]

@simonmaechling @simonmaechling any other links/podcasts/books you’d recommend on this topic? Interested to learn more…

[Spudster @_spudster_]

@schmacznyk Exactly

[Pendulum Flow @PendulumFlow]

The rd to net zero comes with a cost. Most are unaware and unwilling to pay.

[Spudster @_spudster_]

@Ember421 🤔 interesting point. The scale of batteries needed for military applications seems like it’d be a lot less than consumer EVs though

[Spudster @_spudster_]

A great point made here is that EV subsidies should consider if the new EV is displacing an old ICE vehicle

Doesn’t make sense from an emissions POV to hand out $$ for 2nd cars

[chris keefer @Dr_Keefer]

After 250 episodes its about time @DecoupleMedia wades into the EV debate.

Ashley Nunes, a senior research associate at Harvard Law School, joins me to disentangle the hope from the hype.

Net zero policies make as much sense as having covid zero policies imo

[Spudster @_spudster_]

It’s truly an incomprehensible fact that uranium-235 is over 1 million times as energy dense as coal

Sounds made up

[Spudster @_spudster_]

Does this assume that displacing gasoline = displacing oil? You still need all the other stuff you get out of oil and then it just makes gasoline cheaper bc it’s an unwanted byproduct

[International Energy Agency @IEA]

Under today’s policy settings, the uptake of EVs – including cars, vans, trucks, buses & 2/3-wheelers – is set to avoid the need for over 10 million barrels of oil a day in 2035

That's equal to all the oil demand from road transport in the US today 👉 https://t.co/ZngliIBvJJ
