A friendly reminder: despite what Central Market might try to do, you do not have to put Hatch Chilies on everything.

This is it.

Remember that scene in A Beautiful Mind where all the guys go for the blonde—and end up with no one?

That’s energy right now. Everyone’s chasing gas. Turbine backlog: 10+ years.

Nash equilibrium? Diversify. Wind, solar, batteries = faster, cheaper power for everyone.

@TodayPunch @douglewinenergy Looks like a little cushion there.

[Charles @brancheauc]

Can confirm.

[EnergyStorageGuy @MrEnergyStorage]

@douglewinenergy Literally zero people in the energy industry see coal as the future, not even the coal association.

[Doug Lewin @douglewinenergy]

Wind + solar produced 40% of Texas' power for the first half of 2025.

Not one conservation call or energy emergency in 2024 or 2025.

Wholesale costs are 15% below national average.

But sure, keep trying to convince the public that coal is "beautiful."

Good luck with that.

Friendly reminder that you, yes you, are an @ERCOT_ISO expert. And everyone, literally everyone, will be waiting for your hot electric takes this week.

It’s Christmas Day and you wanted a Turbo Man doll and you got a Booster.

The silence from @DMagazine this morning is deafening.

[Charles @brancheauc]

And I’m totally ok with that.

Looks like it snowed everywhere in Texas today but Dallas

@MSGCapital Reverse sear is your best option without a sous vide.

@WholeFoods Pizza Friday for $8

[Mark Palmer @MarketPalmer_]

Fastest and cheapest way to feed a family of 4?

Costco pizza is my answer. $10.

[Charles @brancheauc]

@MarketPalmer_ Toyota or Lexus.

[Charles @brancheauc]

The $ spent on maintenance for these cars would be mind boggling.

This poster was very popular when I was a kid.

First saw it when I was about 11 years old, and it had a major impact on me at that point in my life, sending a clear message connecting education with success.

I’m sure it did the same for many others.
