French major @TotalEnergies is an outlier among peers for remaining committed to low-#carbon investments while continuing to replenish and expand its ample #oilandgas portfolio—with an appetite for high risk/high return projects, writes @aikachkova #OOTT

Lots of coverage of this in the past few days. I made sure to speak to Air Products themselves for this story to confirm what was going on.

Heh. First time tweeting in a while and now Twitter doesn't believe I'm human and wants me to interact with more accounts to prove that I am. Way to try forcing more engagement 💀

Full article in the thread and it makes for *very* depressing reading.

My latest for the Petroleum Economist

[Petroleum Economist @PetroleumEcon]

BP went bold on #decarbonisation in 2020 with a plan considered the most ambitious in the industry. The major has been backtracking ever since, and it looks as if the new strategy is not #EnergyTransition , but #energy addition, writes @aikachkova #OOTT

Yikesssss: I'm gathering up rates outlets pay freelancers and someone just submitted this for Rolling Stone. 2,500 words, took a "shit ton" of reporting:

"$500. Can you believe that? I tried to negotiate, but they said no. They just offered to cut the assignment to 1,000 words."

Minor woes for writers: Word obnoxiously changed my format copy/format paste shortcuts from Shift+Ctrl+C/Shift+Ctrl+V to Alt+Ctrl+C/Alt+Ctrl+V. One minor meltdown later and I've figured out how to undo it. Don't you mess with my tried and tested shortcuts, Microsoft. Rude!
