Aweh dearly beloved fellow ruminants & groupies This week, as promised and since the holidays are over, I will return to the topic of energy. Looking at some of my earlier blog posts on energy there was a lot of engineering techno-nerd stuff written by someone in the mirror who has extreme intuition about allContinue reading “Ruminations on grifters, subsidy harvesting, and dumb money in the energy transition”

Ruminations on Gaza, the International Court of Justice and dead cats
Aweh dearly beloved fellow ruminants & groupies This week I was planning to write about energy again, but I decided to postpone that to next week.
