Today is the annual #Holocaust Memorial Day. Never Again.

Starting to teach my spring course on Global Political Economy of #Energy tomorrow and with unfailing sense of timing the current issue of @newyorker.com arrived in the post. #oil #Trump

The US has 8 US$1 trillion+ companies (one is US$3 trilllion+). Europe have none. While the US companies are all high-tech, Europe's most valuable company is French luxury brand LVMH (US$350 billion). Two entirely divergent economies. #TradeWar

I always read some books from the FT's Business Book of the Year list. The 2025 winner, Stephen Witt's biography of Jensen Huang and #Nvidia is one of the best books in years. (The 2012 winner, Steve Coll's book on #Exxon drew me into energy research full-time.) #AI www.penguin.co.uk/books/462527...

Santa delivered! Very excited about tickets to take my boys to the 2026 #UnionJackClassic at Wembley: #ASU v #KU. My real college football allegiance may be with the purple and gold, but I attended one and received a PhD from the other of these two 😀

The Oilman Who Pushed Trump to Go All In on Fossil Fuels

REview: Gas strength and oil weakness shape US onshore industry outlook heading into 2026 Rystad Energy's North America research experts examine the factors that will shape the onshore industry in the new year.

Not quite the "Drill, baby, drill" boom for US #oil as you might have expected during a second #Trump administration. #oilandgas www.rystadenergy.com/insights/rev...

What Does “Capitalism” Really Mean, Anyway? In a new global history, capitalism is an inescapable vibe—responsible for everything, everywhere, all at once.

An astute review by Gideon Lewis-Kraus of Sven Beckert’s #Capitalism ‘What Does “Capitalism” Really Mean, Anyway?’ www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

After years of “activists” screaming their anti-Israeli and thinly veiled anti-Jewish hate in universities, on the streets, outside synagogues and Jewish shops, officials are shocked by the mass shooting on #BondiBeach during #Hanukkah celebrations. Precisely what “globalising the intifada” entails

The seeds of truths in #Trump ‘s #NationalSecurityStrategy2025 about our serious structural problems in #Europe should be a greater concern to us than the hyperbole with which it is delivered and irrespective of the intent behind the message. www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

Grok produced an interesting list of the Top 10 most important cities in #oilandgas: Houston, London, Singapore, Dubai, Geneva, Riyadh, Beijing, Moscow, Calgary, Stavanger. Geneva is perhaps surpsiring as it's easy to forget its major role in oil trading (Vitol, Trafigura, etc.).

I wish I knew such such certainty how to predict market peaks and troughs. I wouldn’t need my day job. “Past performance is not an indicator of future returns.” That said, heady times for sure.

Oil’s resilience in the energy system | Wood Mackenzie Oil demand outlook strengthens into the 2030s as EV adoption lags and energy security rises, driving a major upstream supply gap, long-term investment needs and strong refining margins. Explore Wood M...

“We estimate the ‘supply’ gap by 2035 – the volume of new liquids the upstream industry needs to bring onstream – is just over 20 million b/d... Achieving that will require sustained development investment of at least US$520 billion a year.” #oilandgas www.woodmac.com/blogs/the-ed...

North Sea oil and gas groups given go-ahead for new drilling Fields connected to existing rigs and pipelines will be explored following consultation on future of industry

The political desire to willingly forego #oilandgas investments and tax receipts while that choice does nothing to alter global demand or supply is a strange one... " #NorthSea oil and gas groups given go-ahead for new drilling" www.ft.com/content/ce02...

Oil Producers, but Maybe Not the Planet, Get a Win as Climate Talks End

Instead of the repeated warnings about a world in which there is no rapid transition away from #fossilfuels perhaps it’s time to start preparing for that world. #COP30 “Oil Producers, but Maybe Not the Planet, Get a Win as Climate Talks End” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/22/c...

If #AI data centres are even more sensitive to down time caused by intermittent renewable sources of #energy than are other energy intensive industries, then the unprecedented boom in energy demand generated by AI is even better news for #fossilfuels and their demand that previously anticipated.

Postcolonial theory tends to come with a remarkably Eurocentric understanding of the history of #imperialism.

I’m not so sure. Both are constitutional monarchies and low key doesn’t mean fading away in the case of, for instance, the Scandinavian monarchies. Just a bit less scandal would help things along.

Monarchies like the Swedish are pretty low key these days but retain solid support. I imagine like with so many other things on social media the voices in opposition are small but just very loud and amplified.
