Stocks are up cause of Jevons Paradox. As soon as they went down in price, everyone could afford to buy more of them.

I am pleased to see the Jevons Paradox being widely discussed in the past few days. I wrote about it in the context of AI last year. As William Jevons put it, it is “wholly a confusion of ideas to suppose that the economical use of fuel is equivalent to a diminished consumption”

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
23 Dec 2024
Christopher Nolan’s next film is an adaption of ‘THE ODYSSEY’
• 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

I kid of course. Really looking forward to this. Presumably it’s Pattinson as Odysseus, Holland as Telemachus, Zendaya as Nausicaa, Hathaway as Penelope, Nyong’o as Calypso and Damon as Mentor. Although Hathaway as Calypso and Nyong’o as Penelope might be more interesting casting

What happened at #COP29? In the latest episode of @TheEnergyGang, I take a downbeat view of the implications of the outcome, while @mclott and @AmyAHarder find reasons to be more positive. Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts: woodmac.com/podcasts/the-ene…

A reminder for anyone who needs it that this, by @bethanymac12 and @peterelkind, is one of the greatest business books ever written. Highly recommended

I don't know: Everyone says these numbers are mind-boggling, but they always sound quite small to me. I mean: if you had a dollar for every galaxy in the known universe, you would not be half-way to the ten-year cost of renewing the key provisions in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

Obviously the big problem with the Death Star is that it’s a FOAK project. They had the right idea in The Rise of Skywalker: a fleet of Star Destroyers to benefit from economies of scale and learning-by-doing
21 Nov 2024
Empire Magazine reveals that Director Orson Krennic in this season of #Andor is in charge of raising money to build the Death Star and is behind on schedule and over budget.

This is really fascinating from @AmyJaffeeenergy: When oil prices are low, the energy industry does not have enough resources and incentives to invest in low-carbon tech. When oil prices are high, public support for subsidies falls. The result is long-term under-investment
21 Nov 2024
My latest w Mahmoud El-Gamal “Fickle environmental attitudes and cleantech underinvestment” is a continuation of our work on oil price cycles. We find that clean tech M&A and asset acquisition is procyclical 🧵eg goes down w low oil prices) tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

So this is a first for me: a Cybertruck actually being used as a truck, hauling some firewood. I’ve never seen that before
