About this episode

I ran into the man behind the now-famous Green Chicken known as Doomberg - the #1 editorial newsletter on energy markets on Substack. To subscribe to Doomberg, the #1 newsletter on Substack, go here In this podcast, I talk to the Green Chicken about: The Four Laws of Energy Why the "arc" of energy demand is "forever up and to the right" Why conservation in places like Europe and North America will do exactly nothing to decrease the use of hydrocarbons (or coal) anywhere else The companies whose tech is so miraculous "indistinguishable from magic" The farce of peak oil... peak cheap oil... and why oil companies are "giant deflationary machines" What price inelasticity means for oil markets How you know oil I the cheapest it's ever been and the "currency" you should measure in (instead of fiat dollars) if you want the whole truth "Doomberg's Postulate" and how it affects your life The true "Gating Function" of carbon emissions   The nightmare of my power situation in Puerto Rico (pretty sure the power company has me in the crosshairs) The real value of energy is much higher than we all pay for it (if you disagree, wait till you don't have it and then decide how much you'd pay!) Why politics will be swept aside in the event of a true energy crisis The "Bridge" fuel to nuclear is going to cause this hydrocarbon to soar AI will be the big beneficiary of this cheap resource Why AI data center builders will head to where there's access to cheap energy  Some good news about Chinese pollution  Doomberg describes the "magical process" of LNG The Green Chicken makes a distinction between pollution and climate What 14 of the world's largest banks decided recently in The Rainbow Room at Rockefeller Center - and why it matters The historical moment in energy markets that finally happened - and why it took so long The single biggest "canard" regarding nuclear power Fusion energy and the two fake problems it solves Why SMRs are also an expensive distraction - and the limited situations in which they make sense Whatever you think of the "climate crisis" The great George Gilder... his classic book, Wealth and Poverty... and the clearest definition of the real modern crisis. Closing thoughts from Doomberg: Don't "short" the human endeavor I created The Expat Phyles to show you the world of options that exist outside your home country.
