[Episode #250] – Russia Revisited | The Energy Transition Show

Will Russia finally get on board with the energy transition, or will it white-knuckle its energy exports all the way down to zero?

🚨🎶S.F. Jazz just dropped a love note to the internet, a couple of thousand recordings from their archives. 🎶 🚨

I’ve started sort of relaxed, with Joe Henderson doing Porgy and Bess, but I suspect I can spend many hours browsing this.

I just created a quick map depicting which portions of the United States are now (as of today) or will imminently be (by early June) without 24/7 local National Weather Service coverage (per Washington Post reporting). #CAwx #CAfire #CAwater #ORwx #AKwx #WYwx #KSwx

Pretty incredible that Jeff Bezos' Amazon announced a "$5 billion-plus" partnership w/ a Saudi AI co launched by Mohammed Bin Salman and sent CEO Andy Jassy to meet with him less than 7 years after MBS murdered Jamal Khashoggi, a columnist for Bezos' Washington Post. techcrunch.com/2025/05/13/a...

My favourite random new wind fact is that Romania and Bulgaria are not expected to build offshore wind by 2030, because the bridges in Istanbul are too low to let offshore wind installation vessels get into the Black Sea.

I was curious to see what streaming news media would do today, after three straight weeks of nonstop, utterly pointless coverage of the Pope. Would they finally get back to talking about the ongoing destruction of the American democratic state and the urgent matters piling up?

Naaaaah. Every single network (including, sadly, BBC and Sky News) chose to air the thoroughly disgusting spectacle of TFG and MBS making deals in KSA.

And then: Show trials! Kardashian! Mendezez! Diddy!

For shame. 🤮
