The EIA is still publishing their energy forecasts through the shutdown. Here's an interesting trend showing gasoline demand is dropping. That's despite vehicle miles travelled still trending up

All this noise about government efficiency and reducing the deficit but all this bill is doing is wiping out health care and offering huge tax breaks to people who need it the least

With all the concern the new administration has for various additives in our diet, they seem to be turning a blind eye to the known pollutants in our air and water

🧵 How did Texas interconnect ~70% more capacity than any US market btwn 2021-2023? The answer explains, in part, why 25 parties just filed w/ FERC supporting streamlined interconnection service (ERIS), with no clear opposition—signaling a promising area for bipartisan reform. (1/15) #EnergySky

One of those why-didn't-I-think-of-that moments
The primary energy fallacy is the idea that all primary energy from fossil fuels must be replaced with an equivalent amount of clean energy.

BUT: This is not necessary because conversion losses do not need to be replaced. More than 2/3 of all primary energy is lost as waste heat.
