My favourite thing about St. Gobnait (whose day is today) that the local legend is that you can see the devil's face on a wall on her church where he tripped and collided into while running too fast after a soul.

Interesting articles about the arse falling out of the LNG market in Asia, which will leave US suppliers reliant on fewer customers, leading undoubtedly to increased prices.

Mitigating the climate crisis by stopping the burning of fossil fuels has a massive co-benefit we should talk about all the time: a >3% of GDP savings through less air pollution.
This makes the conservative economic value of clean air $1T annually in the U.S.
And then you would have to add the damage from other sources such as manufacturing and use of chemicals such as aerosols, etc.

Air pollution from burning fossil fuels causes 100,000 to 200,000 avoidable American deaths per year. At the EPA's statistical value of life of $10 million, these deaths cost America $1 to $2 trillion per year, every year. These costs far outweigh the costs of transitioning off of fossil fuels.
