As one who competes in the attention economy, let me tell you: Every day, there is less of it to compete for, and more competitors. And now AI can blow that out to infinity.

Anyone who 'makes content' is now up against infinite competitors. And they are very good. And nearly free.

Just had another one of those "OMG ChatGPT can do that?" moments.

We're quickly moving past knowledge work, and past knowledge itself. The only frontier after this will be human attention.

[Episode #211] – Doomers vs. Transitionistas | The Energy Transition Show Why do some people believe we should accelerate the energy transition, while others claim that it will never work and advocate for things like degrowth policies instead?

Thanks Dusty! And @hillelwayne.com ‬... You do realize that "hopium" is a term that skeptics use to denigrate the energy transition? (I did a whole episode about that dialogue: xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...) I would have just gone with "hope."

The Trump EPA & Administrator Lee Zeldin’s Make America Hazardous Again agenda, by the numbers.

This 🧵 examines the 1st reported air pollution data from Trump’s 1st year—using EPA’s own data—showing the harmful impacts of the Trump-Zeldin reckless & dirty, pro-fossil fuel rollbacks & policies. 1/

Those are the right questions... lots of factors in play as always but my guess is that the dominant ones ATM are spare capacity and storage, which are both ample. Could probably bridge over months of disruption.

Given the amount of damage and disruption to the flow of ME oil, it's pretty remarkable that Brent is still below $80 and within it's 52-wk range. A stark difference from the 2008 days.

Is that recent footage? Not from the Nov 2025 attack on it?

Drunk demagogue at the helm of the most powerful military in the world demands that it only be staffed by those who aren't good enough students to get into the top schools, and who blindly subscribe to his bigoted ideology.

[Episode #265] – IEA World Energy Outlook 2025 | The Energy Transition Show Chris returns to Paris to interview co-lead Tim Gould about the new World Energy Outlook 2025 report, and to explore the futures it contemplates.

BTW we did a whole @transitionshow.bsky.social episode about this very topic featuring the co-head of the WEO, in which I broke down what IEA said, what the press said they said, and what got lost in between: xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...

The answer is always "some analysts."

Since the cleantech 1.0 boom 25 years ago, there's been a mantra that investors should focus on "bits, not atoms."

But AI vibecoding (and content generation) has suddenly reversed that. Guessing that if you want to be employed in a few years, you'd be better off working with atoms, not bits...

Something Big Is Happening Think back to February 2020. If you were paying close attention, you might have noticed a few people talking about a virus spreading overseas.

After reading @mattshumer.bsky.social's warning about what AI will do to knowledge workers www.linkedin.com/pulse/someth... I thought: Is anyone demanding a "just transition" for them, or is that only for the energy transition?

I hadn't found a comprehensive(ish) roundup of Trump's attacks on the energy transition, so I decided to do an episode about it.
