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

• Described as a mythic action epic that follows the tale of Odysseus & his 10-year journey home after the Trojan War

• Starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Matt Damon, Lupita Nyong’o and Robert Pattinson

@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

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

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
November 21, 2024 at 2:36 AM
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

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.
