War with Iran & energy dominance are unrelated IMO @AsimRiaz1978 Trump knows an Iran strike risks an oil spike & voter blowback at the pump. That's why I think the buildup & a strike are coercive leverage, not a plan for a Hormuz war. #Oil #Iran #Geopolitics #EnergyMarkets

Voters are dramatically more receptive to AI data centers near them if they'll be powered by clean energy. Industry take note. [Blue Rose Research, Feb 2026] https://t.co/2gsbeHtYMv
A million to one ratio is pretty sweet, tbh. Proud to buy cooling credits from these guys - paying to reflect a miniscule fraction of sunlight back into space. The only possible way to halt climate change at 1.5C.

Late January's winter weather was a perfect litmus test for purported replacements of fossil fuels. If a type of “power” or “capacity” cannot reliably contribute to preventing Americans from freezing to death during a week of nationwide cold weather, whatever else...
And why bother with new nuclear when enhanced geothermal does the exact same thing but faster, cheaper, cleaner & safer and with less land & no mining and can be done most anywhere. https://web.stanford.edu/group/efmh/jacobson/Articles/I/150Country/150-CountriesEGS.pdf https://news.stanford.edu/stories/2026/01/geothermal-clean-renewable-energy-transition-study-research Nuc pushers have no idea what the alternatives...
New nuclear is crazy-and useless $47.2 bil for 3.26 GW Hinkley Point C=$14.5/W vs $1/W for solar and wind And HPC will take 22 years from planning to operation (2008-2030), vs 1-3 for PV/wind Similar statistics for Vogtle Vaporware SMRs are worse https://t.co/M80o9ICaUb

Energy dominance has been Trump’s most consequential failure @Anon1Oil No Defense Production Act. No serious incentives. No strategy. “Drill, baby, drill” turned into “die, baby, die” in the oil patch. And he’s wasted oil as leverage against China. As for telling me...
Gee. With billions of taxpayer subsidies, we have finally proven that you can *actually move* a nuclear reactor. (But the fuel didn’t fly with them…) 🙄 Meanwhile, solar and batteries are cheaper, faster, safer, and move on planes and trucks every...
Had we not shut down so many coal plants and suppressed so many pipelines and prevented so many gas plants, this winter's electricity demand could have been easily and cheaply met. Instead, it strained grids, spiked power prices, and spiked heating...

Just read several embargoed reports coming out this week. We are no longer in a “data center growth” cycle. We are in a power procurement arms race.
I want nuclear to succeed. And right now almost every nuclear project in the Western world is an unmitigated disaster. The only way out of this is to both fix the economic incentives (customers can not hold the bag for...

The math behind the Hinkley Point C disaster is infuriating: EDF just pushed, again, the start-up to 2030 and the cost exploded from an original £18b in 2016 to £49b But how much solar or offshore wind does £49b buy in...
A Russian fuel tanker is heading to Cuba This is a smart move to bring Cuba's humanitarian crisis into the public view. Trump doesn’t want that but he can't do nothing about the oil.

When Conoco cashes out of the Permian, it says shale’s runway is closer to over than investors assume. It also suggests that desperation for cash takes precedence over a growth story for investors. Bleak stuff for Energy Dominance https://t.co/v8EuOOFeWj #Oil #Permian #Shale #EnergyReality #PeakShale
Sanctions + fuel shortages broke the Cuban grid Those with dollars self-electrify while the rest sit in the dark. Energy desperation risks deepening inequality while the broader economy deteriorates. https://t.co/xOjVSt4Eep #EnergyCrisis #Cuba #Sanctions #Solar #GridFailure

Let's build WA's future around renewables and green iron, not gullibly back nuclear and last century subs that have already been strategically neutralised by drones Hey @AlboMP - what the hell is wrong with Labor backing nukes?
So, for example, a province acting within its jurisdiction over matters of a local and private nature (e.g. local environmental protection) would be given priority over federal laws (e.g. pipeline construction) in the event of a conflict? https://t.co/83rqboK7pR

If solar and wind are not replacements for fossil fuel power, what are they? After all, they are doing something—witness charts showing large amounts of “generation” in a day or the largest growth in “generation” and “capacity” over time. That “something” is...
All energy discussions, analyses, and policy-making must totally stop treating solar and wind as reliable power sources and instead treat them as intermittent fuel-savers.
