Who is standing in the way of producing more hydrocarbons? Someone should ask Wright about this graph.
Trump and Wright are in charge. Why is fracked oil production going down?
Because they are running out of it.
are you familiar with grid forming inverters? I assume you didn't read the article based on your response.
The Trump administration took your money illegally.
They won’t give it back.
Which countries are going to knowingly punish their citizens by expanding instead of phasing out gas dependence?
Yes. They've cancelled some. Trying to resell others. They have no storage. Their gas system was full and couldn't take more imports because demand was down so much and the system was risking over pressure.
If you buy a 2025 Ioniq in March you get $10K off the price.
I continue to be stunned at the speed of battery development, the growing importance of virtual power plants, electrification of transportation, etc It is amazing.
2 wars in 4 years. This war will dramatically accelerate Solar +Batteries + EVs as real Energy Security.
"The rest of the world will learn an important lesson from China. Build out your renewables so you aren't as dependent on imported fossil fuels and the whims of idiots"

Not sure if it pencils out though. But with the way battery tech keep evolving it could be interesting.
Reportedly Trump asked Carter for advice on China in his first term. He wanted to know how China was doing so well. Reportedly Carter said, "they don't waste trillions on war, they invest in their country"
There has been talk of doing this with rail.
From before the latest from the warmongers.
He promised us he would cut energy prices in half.
How about doubling them instead?
In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.
Never trust a Trump. Written or otherwise.
Indeed. I've been writing about that for quite a while. But what the media never accurately reports is that commodities traders broke contracts with Pakistan to sell LNG to Europe for more money. And then the people and industry is Pakistan fought back with solar.
Should have put something in writing with that plane bribe of Trump.
Never trust a Trump.
The important point from @sebkennedy.bsky.social
“The idea that you can cost-effectively decarbonise your economies by relying on a commodity that, in the space of 5 years, is subject to two illegal wars that send prices stratospheric, it just doesn’t make any sense”
Solar makes sense.
Congratulations to Sempra for being able to do simple math!
"Mexico’s potential LNG export buildout has shrunk by about 0.5 Bcf/d after Sempra ended development plans for its long-proposed Vista Pacifico project."
There is no market demand for these projects. And not enough future supply gas.
Iran’s Deputy FM Dr. Saeed Khatibzadeh: “Trump wants leadership change in Iran — he can’t even appoint the mayor of New York.”
I believe opposition to clean energy is much more likely to break along political lines. There are very few local benefits to data centers.
How many community meetings has he attended? From what I see, opposition to data centers have united communities in a way I haven't seen before. Politics don't matter, no one wants them. From New York to Texas.
Wrote this in 2019. Didn't think it would happen this fast.
"When it comes to the long-term economics of power generation, it isn’t a fair fight. There is no clear way natural gas can compete with renewables on an economic basis in the coming decades."
You don’t understand physics, do you?
The part that is interesting is this is happening for economic reasons.
I've been saying for many years that the transition to clean energy is being driven by economic choices, not climate. Another example. And US natural gas prices are headed much higher which will accelerate these trends.
Faced with rising electricity prices, Americans are stealthily adding DIY solar systems.
I am not a CNN subscriber so I can't read this but the headline says it all.
Everything you think you know about EV charging is going to become obsolete. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋 insideevs.com/news/789094/...
"The logic was simple and effective for its time. When demand spikes or a baseload plant fails, you fire up the peakers. But as we navigate 2026, that single-tool strategy is no longer a safety net; it’s becoming a liability."
Five years ago it was widely assumed the grid would always need gas peaker plants. So this is quite a sentence. Good article too.
"In the energy industry, we’ve spent decades leaning on a single, reliable “get out of jail free” card: the natural gas peaker plant...it’s becoming a liability."
Who is they? The low paid workers. Yeah. They don't take vacations in any country, including the US. How about the Chinese students at US universities driving $75K SUVs to campus? How about the crowds of Chinese tourists everywhere around the world? Do they take vacations?
