It's tough to explain exactly how nutty this new report from fossil fuel industry consultant Wood Mackenzie is, but I'm going to try in a short thread.

As you can guess: 1 trillion barrels of oil is...............................A LOT

How AI can unlock an extra trillion barrels of oil
And deliver the volumes needed to meet resilient demand

Stronger-for-longer oil demand will heap pressure on the upstream industry to deliver new supply. I asked our subsurface experts, Dr Andrew Latham, Orla Marnell and Josh Dixon how artificial intelligence can identify opportunities to meet the challenge.
Why do we need to unlock new supply?
The slow pace of the energy transition means that oil demand is likely to be far more resilient than some thought just a few years ago. Wood Mackenzie forecasts annual consumption won’t peak until the early to mid-2030s, and cumulative demand will be almost 1,000 billion barrels through 2050.
Firm demand throws the spotlight onto where new supply can be sourced. Production from assets already onstream or justified for development will gradually decline under current investment plans from just over 100 million b/d today to 50 million b/d 2050, cumulatively 650 billion barrels. That leaves a huge supply gap of 300 million barrels.

I’ve used a cpap for about 10 years. The 1st one took me ages to get used to and it disturbed my sleep instead of helping me. The newer one (about 2 years old) is so much better… better fit, doesn’t disturb me etc. it’s definitely worth it if you do have sleep apnoea

It’s great to see the cross bench coming out early and with strength opposing the Govt’s evil #FOI Amendment Bill. Here’s @helenhainesindi.bsky.social’s amendment killing off the ability of the Govt to charge FOI applications fees and for officials to summarily dismiss FOI requests. #auspol

Anyway, this is just pre-emptive bitch in case the PM forces Chalmers to negotiate with the Libs over superannuation rather than just band with the Greens & pass the bill as is.

Grow up and use the Greens to pass the policies you want.

(Prob tho, when the PM prefers politics to policy)

My column on tax, fairness and companies paying nothing.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If we want a better, more equal society, we need more tax. But more tax only works if big business pays their fair share | Grogonomics

Trust in both the tax and political system will falter if people feel they are being punished for not paying tax while large companies legally get away with paying nothing

So ok so public health is gone.

The military is trying to kill us and the cops are mostly assisting a masked gestapo that is kidnapping people and sending them to concentration camps.

What exactly is the point of the United States anymore?

My family of 5 moved from Caerffili to Australia a few decades ago. I’m cool with an immigrant having the spot I vacated, chware teg. I got to benefit from all Australia has to offer, and I have met plenty of Welsh people in the same situation. People move around, including Welsh ones. 2 way street.

New in PN: The impossibly dumb reason for Trump's invasion of Portland

"Trump’s confusion isn’t just darkly comical (and a troubling reminder of the president’s growing senility) — it’s a stark illustration of the whiplash-inducing disconnect between his rhetoric and the reality on the ground."

The impossibly dumb reason for Trump's invasion of Portland

It'd be hilarious if he wasn't the commander in chief.

The Aust Parliament Sports Club (the one that ditched David Pocock) is now formally registered as a lobby group👇🏽

Anthony Albanese is the President of the Aust Parliament Sports Club.

That means the Prime Minister of Australia is currently the president of a lobby group.

Just utterly unbelievable.
