Everywhere you look in climate tech there’s a former Tesla or SpaceX doing something cool. @zeitlin.bsky.social and @emilypont.bsky.social surveyed the Musk Mafia for their takes on how the experience shaped them and what it was like working for Elon: heatmap.news/climate-tech...

Peter Hubbard’s dark horse election to Georgia’s PSC last year is one of those things folks may never fully appreciate. He’ll be a hugely important energy leader in the Southeast moving forward. Great to see @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social sit down with him here. 🔌💡 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

We'll see what happens in two weeks and beyond but i think so far it's fair to say the big winners are: CHINA NUCLEAR COAL SHALE and the big losers are LNG GULF OIL PRODUCERS THE WEST COAST AND HAWAII heatmap.news/energy/hormu...

the influence of james burnham by way of marc andreessen is very important here

Totally agree. The three big drivers of Chinese energy policy are (1) local air pollution, (2) energy security, and (3) desire to be at technological frontier. The issue is that you can make a lot of progress on (1) and maintain (3) while still using coal with modern emissions controls for (2).

The oil market bought a month reprieve thanks to strategic reserves, sanctioned oil, and the actual time it takes for tankers to reach their destinations. Now the shortages (and high prices) may really begin. heatmap.news/energy/hormu...
