I am pleased to see the Jevons Paradox being widely discussed in the past few days. I wrote about it in the context of AI last year: www.woodmac.com/blogs/energy...

Excited to see Nolan taking on the story of a brilliant but troubled man who has to overcome a series of challenges, and the loyal wife and child who wait for him. A bit of a departure there

@meidastouch.com did a podcast on how legal groups will be able to use Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and Relentless, Inc. v. Department of Commerce ruling to help block the Republicans' agenda as well.

I have been down the rabbit hole over the past couple of days on the outlook for US #LNG, and I realised there is a massive unanswered - and unanswerable - question hanging over all US energy policy and regulation over the next few years: the impact of the end of Chevron deference. (1/x)

What happened at #COP29? In the latest episode of @theenergygang.bsky.social, I take a downbeat view of the implications of the outcome, while @mclott.bsky.social and Amy Harder of Cipher find reasons to be more positive.

Another picture of that Cybertruck laden with firewood that I saw on the road yesterday. If the Tesla marketing department wants to get in touch, I am open to offers

So this is a first for me: a Cybertruck actually being used as a truck, hauling some firewood. I’ve never seen that before

It’s half-time at #COP29: the rest day in between the two weeks of negotiations. The score so far: 0-0, with a few yellow cards. Still plenty of time to get a result, though

The world is in danger of slipping towards an emissions pathway that would lead to ~3 °C of warming. Failure to agree a meaningful climate finance deal at #COP29 would increase the risk of that outcome. #energytransition www.woodmac.com/blogs/energy...

Arriving at the #COP29 climate talks in Baku, at a tough moment for hopes of co-ordinated government action to tackle climate change. I’m here with Wood Mackenzie and @theenergygang.bsky.social, to see what successes, if any, supporters of climate action can achieve.

After 15 years of stagnation, US electricity demand is starting to grow again, creating new challenges for utilities and grid operators. Data centers are the principal reason. www.woodmac.com/news/opinion...

Until I Googled it just now, I always thought the chorus of ‘Rocket Man’ went: “Rocket man, burning up the fuel of everyone”, and it was a comment on the 70s energy crisis

The cancellation of the most advanced US small modular reactor project dealt a severe blow to hopes of a new nuclear revival. To keep nuclear as an option for low-carbon power, governments need to do more to support new plants. www.woodmac.com/news/opinion... #nuclear
