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...

Merry Christmas, everyone

Some festive listening for you while you are peeling the sprouts. @mclott.bsky.social, @amyjaffeenergy.bsky.social and I review the year in energy. www.woodmac.com/podcasts/the...

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

You could call Crystal Palace wise men, because they have given three gifts to Jesus this Christmas

There is a great job going here at Wood Mackenzie for someone who knows about power markets and product management. Come and join us! www.linkedin.com/posts/mboyda...

@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.

A reminder for anyone who needs it that this is one of the greatest business books ever written. Highly recommended

I knew this would come in handy one day. #Enron

Judging by the mayhem in the line for snacks at our local AMC when it’s showing Wicked and Gladiator II, the movies are back

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! First time pumpkin pie effort looks a bit rough, but smells amazing. Will report back on how it tastes

Sad that Arsenal not being in the Europa League means there’s no Thanksgiving football this year

Infrastructure investment projects are challenging, even a long time ago in a galaxy far far away

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

Post you from a different era. With @emilybell.bsky.social about to drop the hottest album of 1985

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...

What can we expect from energy under the second Trump administration? On The Energy Gang, Ray Long, Robbie Orvis, Amy Myers Jaffe and I discussed the future of IRA tax credits, permitting, tariffs, AI and more. Find it here or wherever you get your podcasts: www.woodmac.com/podcasts/the...

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...

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Also, the Energy Gang has a presence here now: @theenergygang.bsky.social We might even have some posts quite soon! In the meantime, check out the podcasts here: www.woodmac.com/podcasts/the... or wherever you get your podcasts

Welcome to BlueSky, @amyjaffeenergy.bsky.social! EnergySky @theenergygang.bsky.social, @mclott.bsky.social

Loving the new Andre 3000 album

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

Intriguing explanation for recent developments at OpenAI

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

I enjoyed Killers of the Flower Moon quite a lot. The best film about the resource curse that I have seen in a long time

New term for greenwashing just dropped

Everything you always wanted to know about the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism but were afraid to ask. Starting in 30 minutes at 10.30 ET.
