I think this is a great idea. I wrote a piece on floating nuclear for @ASMEdotorg @MEngineeringMag last September. Floating nuclear drives up costs on one hand (you have to build the ship and the power plant) but saves so many other costs and avoids so many other problems that it might end up being cheaper, faster and safer to deploy.

I expect we will see similar results worldwide soon, country by country. A flattening of CO2, followed by a decline, as renewables replace coal and gas, and EVs displace gasoline/diesel.

Ukraine turned to solar power as their energy infrastructure is destroyed by Russia. Cuba turns to solar power as the U.S. cuts off oil shipments. See a pattern here??
California, Oregon, Minnesota, Rhode Island, Maine, Massachusetts and Vermont have aggressive (75-100%) zero-emission electricity mandates AND bans on new nuclear power. If these states don't repeal these policies—and soon—they will face: 1) sky-high electricity rates (from catastrophically expensive overbuilds of solar/wind/batteries and...

UNITED STATES exported an average of 14.8 billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d) by tanker and other 9.4 bcf/d by pipeline during the first eleven months of 2025. Total exports exceeded the combined consumption by households (12.0 bcf/d) and offices,...
Syria's oil production is a zero-rounding error @NoamRaydan Current levels are roughly 100–120 kb/d. Max production before the Civil War was 400 kb/d. As you note, its heavy, sour crude must be exported to Greece or Italy b/c it has no complex...

Geothermal could be 10% of US electricity production by 2040. To hit 10% in 15 years, you need to start with 400MW of new geothermal this year and scaling deployment to 2GW per year by 2030 and then by 10%...

I said the shale business model could not last. Investors got that message on their own and fled in 2018 @AmbroserayRay Act out your inferiority complex elsewhere—not on my feed.
The grid debate isn’t “clean energy vs gas.” No one cares. It’s about achieving system cost and reliability without 9% rate increases every year and hopefully avoiding natural gas price volatility. Let’s break down the arguments. 🧵

This is the kind of intellectual dishonesty that @ExnerPirot and other oil shills are famous for. In 2015, the oil sands industry actively lobbied FOR an industrial carbon tax. We must be carbon-competitive, they said. My receipts? Dozens of interviews with industry insiders.

Cuba has been cut off from oil, and solar power is saving Cuba. The irony here is the U.S. is making Cuba actually energy independent, which is likely the opposite desired effect Trump is seeking to have.
The oil glut narrative is dying or dead A market rallying 18% YTD isn’t drowning in supply. Yes, barrels exist on paper But sanctions, disruptions, inventories & geopolitics mean they’re not available where prices are set. These views are from the @BloombergNRG article. I agree...
