Column: Even madmen and communists understand the real ‘energy transition’, Canada’s leadership couldn’t run a hot dog stand

April 8, 20215:55 AM Terry Etam0 Comments

While social media is devolving into a showcase of the worst human behaviour, that doesn’t mean it is uninteresting. In the old days, it required some gumption for an enterprising and not-shy lunatic to get on a soapbox and yell at the world from a street corner. Now there is no barrier to entry and total anonymity. Unfiltered and unmuzzled citizens can present a truly nauseating window into what humans are (in)capable of, thought-wise.  Now and then, though, this collective consciousness [Read more]

Column: One stuck ship disrupts 12% of global trade – messing with the web of energy and distribution systems is not a joke

Ever Given ship stuck in the Suez Canal

Anyone who commutes by car, particularly when going with the flow in a busy direction, is well aware of the chaos that results from some singular dumb little event. Someone rear-ends someone else on a freeway, and the result is two crumpled bumpers and two miles of backed-up traffic. Long weekends on the Trans-Canada highway can turn into multi-hour campouts as the RCMP scratches its head, wondering how on earth two cars could end up like that. Sometimes relatively little events like this [Read more]

Column: There are far more important things to worry about than Hollywood’s vacuous-villained ‘Bigfoot’

March 23, 20214:15 AM Terry Etam0 Comments

Bigfoot Family Netflix movie

Some say the end is near Some say we'll see Armageddon soon I certainly hope we will I sure could use a vacation from this Bullsh*t three-ring Circus sideshow of Freaks Here in this hopeless $&%^% hole we call L.A. The only way to fix it is to flush it all away Any $&%^% time, any $&%^% day Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay  - “Ænema” by Tool (L.A. resident misfits) Sigh. So now ‘we’re’ going after a kid's movie. I understand the motivation and the [Read more]

Column: Warren Buffett and the pace of the ‘energy transition’ – should be done by his 200th birthday

March 11, 20216:30 AM Terry Etam0 Comments

Warren Buffett

In Omaha, Nebraska is a 90-year-old who runs a business alongside his 97-year-old business partner. While you might think encountering them driving on the freeway would be bad, I assure you that competing with them in the business world would be much worse. Those dentures will eat you alive. I’m referring of course to the youngster, Warren Buffett, and his slightly more experienced sidekick Charlie Munger. The pair run Berkshire Hathaway, a holding conglomerate so large that it frightens [Read more]

Column Enbridge

Column: Texas fiasco creates a million frozen pipes and ten million energy experts. The pipes deserve attention; the other, not so much

Obsession has a odor Tunnel vision has a tell It's fanatical behavior Have a lovely life in your chosen hell Fixate on what you think you know You're missing what you don't, though Crazy wouldn't notice Have a lonely life in your chosen hell From “Life of Brian” by Puscifer Does everyone know where hot dogs come from? You’re right. No one does and no one wants to. They are like miracle objects that landed within a meteorite. When summer comes, ignorance is bliss, and just shove [Read more]

Column

Column: Natural gas hits an unprecedented $600/mmbtu, Bitcoin rise captures the news, and the media’s Soviet-style dog collar becomes clearly visible

February 17, 20216:20 AM Terry Etam0 Comments

I’ve often wondered what it must have been like to live under Soviet rule. The horrors are well documented - the food shortages, the suffocating bureaucracy, the razor-sharp surveillance, all stewed in a broth of fearful grey. One aspect in particular that I could never imagine was a life governed by reality-defying propaganda. “At the instigation of the masses, the Motherland has proclaimed a Godless Five-Year Plan!” “Exterminate all homosexuals and fascism will vanish!” (this one even [Read more]

Column

Column: Just because the energy industry uses thirty thousand dollar shotguns to blow off its feet doesn’t make it impressive

February 9, 20215:01 AM Terry Etam0 Comments

Sometimes movies are so unrealistic they make you roll your eyes. I’m not talking about obvious cartoonish ones, more like the soft-comedy types that are supposedly relatable to reality. Take, for example, the enduring and endearing reiterations of bands of misfits with scrawny arms and chubby personas, with knock-knees and too-thick glasses that come together and win some sort of championship, while their opponents with the boat shoes and Winkelvoss hair and sweaters with arms tied over [Read more]

Column Keystone XL

Column: Billions of people at risk from heating fuel shortages? BORING. What’s Tesla stock up to?

January 26, 20216:45 AM Terry Etam0 Comments

In today's fascinating new media world, where social media updates us every second on anything relevant, our attention span gets weird. Especially under lockdown, when those streams are our only entertainment that isn't on Netflix. Things I pay attention to in the ‘news’ are bifurcated, or maybe tri-furcated: sensational, bombastic stories like for example anything Trump did; localized things that impact my little world directly; and pictures of gorgeous beaches that it feels like I’ll never see [Read more]

Column: Dear Joe Biden, aside from burning down the Whitehouse in 1814, we have been pretty good neighbours

Joe Biden

By: Heidi McKillop and Terry Etam Hi Joe, We can’t call you President Joe, not quite yet, even though it appears the Donald has finally thrown in the towel. Wow, he went out with a bang, didn’t he? But on to bigger things. We wanted to send you greetings from Canada. Since you’re new to the helm, and international relations have never been more important, we’ll start off with an apology, for that burning of the White House thing, a long time ago. Sorry about that. You know what it is [Read more]

Column: Norway’s hydrocarbon consumption shows stark reality of energy transition – even for the filthy rich

January 12, 20215:02 AM Terry Etam0 Comments

For a long time, decades, when the world thought of oil they thought of Saudi Arabia or the Middle East. That made sense. The Middle East that brought ultra-cheap oil to the world, and it's colourful cast of characters enjoyed jerking the economic world around by running out onto their royal balconies and shouting ‘Oil prices must go up’ or ‘Oil prices must go down’ or ‘We’re still thinking but we are going to do something big and we’ll get back to you’. An ever-thirstier world, high on [Read more]
