Stocks are up cause of Jevons Paradox. As soon as they went down in price, everyone could afford to buy more of them.
I am pleased to see the Jevons Paradox being widely discussed in the past few days. I wrote about it in the context of AI last year. As William Jevons put it, it is “wholly a confusion of ideas to suppose that the economical use of fuel is equivalent to a diminished consumption”

Excited to see Nolan taking on the story of a brilliant but troubled man who has to overcome a series of challenges, and the loyal wife and child who wait for him. A bit of a departure there
What happened at #COP29? In the latest episode of @TheEnergyGang, I take a downbeat view of the implications of the outcome, while @mclott and @AmyAHarder find reasons to be more positive. Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts: woodmac.com/podcasts/the-ene…
A reminder for anyone who needs it that this, by @bethanymac12 and @peterelkind, is one of the greatest business books ever written. Highly recommended
I don't know: Everyone says these numbers are mind-boggling, but they always sound quite small to me. I mean: if you had a dollar for every galaxy in the known universe, you would not be half-way to the ten-year cost of renewing the key provisions in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
Obviously the big problem with the Death Star is that it’s a FOAK project. They had the right idea in The Rise of Skywalker: a fleet of Star Destroyers to benefit from economies of scale and learning-by-doing
Empire Magazine reveals that Director Orson Krennic in this season of #Andor is in charge of raising money to build the Death Star and is behind on schedule and over budget.
This is really fascinating from @AmyJaffeeenergy: When oil prices are low, the energy industry does not have enough resources and incentives to invest in low-carbon tech. When oil prices are high, public support for subsidies falls. The result is long-term under-investment
My latest w Mahmoud El-Gamal “Fickle environmental attitudes and cleantech underinvestment” is a continuation of our work on oil price cycles. We find that clean tech M&A and asset acquisition is procyclical 🧵eg goes down w low oil prices) tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
