“We’re not there yet when it comes to liquefied hydrogen. The first #LH2 tanker set sail only this year. As winter looms, Germany’s energy issues will become more acute — #LNG could have offered it a quicker solution.” ~ @PTertzakian #PetersPickoftheWeek
“If we’re going to solve big societal issues like climate change and decarbonization, we must overcome the biggest barrier: self-interest.” ~ @PTertzakian #PetersPickoftheWeek #energytwitter

“This winter we’ll likely see even higher #energy prices — and further regression. I expect we’ll see more obsolete energy systems re-emerge.” ~ @PTertzakian #PetersPickoftheWeek
“As the pandemic wanes, oil consumption, and prices, are coming back strong. Despite the increasing price, many North American rigs lie idle. But history tells us that the temptation to put them back to work gets stronger with rising prices.” ~ @PTertzakian #PetersPickoftheWeek
“The @IEA’s #netzero report was followed by calls to stop O&G exploration. But in economics, it takes two to tango: supply and demand. Eventually EVs will bend the curve of oil consumption. Till then, it’s up to us to reduce trips to the pump.” ~@PTertzakian

“Line 5 is a reminder that Canada’s energy security is no better than it was 50 years ago. If the pipeline is shut, Central Canada will have to find inefficient ways of getting oil — like the Kimon’s voyage through the Panama Canal in 1973.” ~@PTertzakian

“Pollution seems like a ludicrous thing to feature on a postcard. But post WWII, smoky energy usage was a sign of prosperity. The meeting of 40 nations at the Leaders Summit on Climate this week clearly signals we now strive for the opposite.” ~@PTertzakian #PetersPickoftheWeek
“When setting decarbonization strategies, policy makers need to consider diverse living situations. Each region has its own energy paradigm — including fuel use and appliances — based on local conditions.”~@PTertzakian #energytwitter #PetersPickoftheWeek

“A century ago, cars were marketed as sleek objects that left old technology in the dust. Looking at Tesla or Ford’s new Mustang Mach-E, not much has changed. To really sell a product, it has to be cool.”~@PTertzakian #PetersPickoftheWeek
“The success of #EV companies will depend on a secure supply chain of raw materials for battery production as well as integrated manufacturing. Ford’s Rouge Plant was such an operation — it took iron ore to ready-to-drive vehicles, in-house.” ~@PTertzakian #PetersPickoftheWeek
“As companies consider drilling for #oil again, I’m reminded of this photo, which I imagine captures an investor visit to a problematic site. Investors set the rules for producers. They’ll be focused on cost, #emissions and #ESG performance.” ~@PTertzakian #PetersPickoftheWeek
“When we think #energystorage, we picture large-scale batteries and supercapacitors. But these icons of decades past stored #energy too – in the form of grain, a biofuel for human survival. Bet you didn’t think of that.” ~@PTertzakian #PetersPickoftheWeek

“The Incas maximized the sun’s power with terraces for farming. Today, we’re figuring out how to harness the sun’s energy more efficiently, from better solar panels to the promise of nuclear fusion.” ~@PTertzakian #PetersPickoftheWeek #solarenergy

“We assume our power will be cheap, clean, safe and reliable. This week in Texas—and @elonmusk’s sentiment—remind us those traits shouldn’t be taken for granted.” ~@PTertzakian #PetersPickoftheWeek

“The birth rate of EVs is exciting, but the end of oil also depends on the death rate of oil-burning cars. Since the days of this Plymouth Valiant, cars are living longer – and there are 1.4b of them still on the road.” ~@PTertzakian #PetersPickoftheWeek

“Variants are essential for the mass marketing of novel products. In the auto world, Ford’s Model T proved viability. Later, car models were targeted to market niches. The 1931 Cord shown here catered to luxury.” ~@PTertzakian #PetersPickoftheWeek

“Biden’s black-and-white energy transition policies offer no in-between solutions. Yet history reminds us hybrid systems help manage change. Even automobile lamps had their hybrid day in the shift from oil to electric.” ~@PTertzakian #PetersPickoftheWeek

“News that #KeystoneXL was axed by the Biden administration led to cheers on one side, anger on the other. Rarely has a pipeline had broad support. One exception was when work on the Trans Mountain Pipeline began.” ~ @PTertzakian #PetersPickoftheWeek

“In energy transitions, concern about refueling isn’t new. 19th-c. hybrid sailing steamships abandoned their sails once coal was readily available at ports. As EV range anxiety decreases, hybrid vehicles will likely sail off into the sunset.” ~@PTertzakian #PetersPickoftheWeek
“We can thank Edison as we kick back over the holidays to watch TV. Technologies that power the visual displays all started with the 19th-century light bulb and, in part, Edison’s discoveries of electromagnetic effects.” ~@PTertzakian #PetersPickoftheWeek
