There is a lot of debate about what is actually driving the 30yr bond yield and while it is a mix of things, it is of late about the ~$25 to $30 a barrel increase in the cost of transporting oil that is being price in indefinitely. And that was a choice Trump made. #EconSky

December 2027 Brent Oil Futures and the 30yr US Bond Yield are moving towards a correlation of 1.

In sworn testimony, the Treasury Department says it hasn't seen the money from Venezuela, and doesn't know where it's gone. Time to figure out who's pocketing it. In an overall kleptocracy, this may well be the most brazen act of embezzlement so far. www.ft.com/content/0588...

The POTUS, threatening illegal tariffs on our trade partners if the Federal Reserve doesn't lower rates, is not the most offensive thing Trump has done by miles, but it's hard to recall a more heretical moment in US monetary policy history. Certainly in the history of the Fed. #EconSky

Reasons to know Trump is lying: 1) He is communicating. 2) If data centers are a geographic benefit to communities, you can be sure they'd be siting and building them in affluent and politically connected environs. Curiously, they're dumped in poorer, less influential places. Go fucking figure.

Two kinds of so called business leaders: 1) People who see the world and its levers more clearly 2) People who are excellent at sensing the direction of the wind and claiming it as their idea. Silicon Valley is full of the second. Which is why you get so called thought leaders parroting dumb shit.

Today on Volts: in 2008, physics professor Ramón Méndez Galain was made energy minister of Uruguay. Over the next 7 years, he led the country to a 98% carbon-free electricity system. With his nonprofit, Ivy, he's now attempting to export the model to other countries in the global South. We discuss.

He helped Uruguay decarbonize. Can he help other countries do the same?
