Friday factoid: oil isn’t “black gold” or “liquid gold.” Gold = >$3,000/oz. Oil = <$0.02/oz. Oil is important because it’s ubiquitous, not because it’s precious. End rant!

The Trump Administration has two announced goals on energy policy: "unleash energy dominance" and lower energy prices. But both those things can't be true at the same time, and each goal faces its own headwinds. My latest with @rff.org www.resources.org/common-resou...

If/Then: Decreasing US Energy Prices Won’t Unleash Energy Dominance
If the Trump administration seeks to quickly unleash US energy dominance, then it will fail, because global markets—not domestic policies—drive decisions that US companies make about energy production...

Random observation: calling oil "black gold" is dumb. Gold is worth ~$3K/oz today. at $70/bbl, crude oil is worth $0.014/oz. Oil is important because of its scale, not its value [gets off soapbox].

The idea of climate policy sequencing has gained a lot of traction over the years. It’s a super valuable concept, but we may think about it too narrowly because we focus on preparing energy systems for climate policies, rather than on preparing communities. Here’s what I mean (1/x)
