They made alot of people alot of money. Energy is cheap enough to enable all innovation in sorts of industries.

The downsides are there, but its the best technology we have at the moment. The regulatory and safety landscape is hell though (by necessity?), with little return on investment for 20 years, at least in the US.

I think they were being sarcastic.

Honestly? Good for him. I think he got to do more interesting projects.

I think this site would really benefit from reading sources like RBN energy or get a subscription to IHS markit and learn more about the oil and gas and energy sectors. This would greatly improve your writing and content, and remove the inherent biases in your writing. You could learn what companies are really doing…

I used to boot up my copy of Batman: Return of the Joker on Game Boy in the back of my parents car, JUST to use the sound test feature.

Thank you for this insightful take. Starred/ungreyed.
