Participating in an online energy conference. The Norwegian speaker is going on about how rice farming is contributing to 10% greenhouse gases with a slide showing Indian rice farmers. Nothing on industrial meat farming though #hypocrisy
Oil production in 2022 is expected to see a 1.2 million bpd increase driven by Iran, Canada, Brazil & ahem, ahem *Norway*…..

But no rice growing for Indians!

I call this #ProtestantReasoning
Chinese energy expert panel is supposed to speak on how China will reconcile energy security with carbon neutrality. However the 1st speaker is basically admonishing the west & Japan for their “environmental hypocrisy”. Happens all the time 😂
It’s now the special session for India. Currently @NarendraTaneja is speaking. He is talking a lot but saying very little. A real pity considering the past 7 years has been very transformative energy security wise. No facts, no figures….only epithets. Yawn…..
I know the tweet above has a harsh tone but I have high expectations of Indians who participate in these event as “experts”. The lament is stronger as the 7 years has actually seen transformational actions in India from an energy security perspective

Collusion, machinations and alleged links with UPA minister: The dark world of ex-IL&FS chairman unmasked! newsroompost.com/business/collu… | I know things were bad under UPA but each time I read an article like this I am reminded just how very horrible it was
“Sources told this reporter how Parthasarathy took instructions from Chidambaram before striking deals, they two apparently talked for hours.
Those in the know say Parthsarathy had an unique way of operating.”
“He allegedly obliged all IAS officers whose children couldn’t get jobs. ILFS would hire them. In return coffers were allegedly opened for him and first refusal on all major projects.”

I received this animated illustration from a friend who lives in Singapore. He is an accountant & has a few maritime clients

Shared the video with my brother, who was a mariner, & asked him to provide his analysis of what happened with the #EverGiven in the #SuezCanal 1/n
Chetan’s comments:

“Many a times transiting the Suez Canal, it is the Master's and all involved wish that the ordeal is swift and safe for the 100km journey.” 2/n
“The clip shown and the author's view is true. Evidently MV Ever Given was racing to catch up with the ship ahead and she is apparently not leading the convoy. In the haste, with her massive LOA, banking effect is pronounced, her SOG was evident to suggest such.” 3/n

Finding Oil Is Really Hard, Making Money Even Harder pubs.spe.org/en/jpt/jpt-art… | “In retrospect it wasn’t obvious, and that was why it took so long,”
......“initiated oil and gas exploration activities in Guyana in 2008,” the story ExxonMobil presented at the recent AAPG SuperBasins 2020 conference covered exploration starts and stops going back to 1928 by the company’s predecessor, Standard Oil Co."
"One slide showed a typewritten report from the 1930s noting the test wells were “salted,” giving the impression of a rich reservoir, even though “there is no evidence of oil.”

Hidden threat: Japan has only 2-week stockpile of LNG asia.nikkei.com/Business/Energ… | Scenarios that were once unimaginable are about to play out. Greater Tokyo with no power! Wow! Just goes to show nuclear is the most secure energy source
“Because LNG is poorly suited for long-term storage, Japan only has a two-week stockpile. Yet, the country depends on the fuel for 40% of its electric power generation needs, and all of the LNG it uses is imported from the Middle East and Southeast Asia.”
“These extraordinary steps underscore just how vital the power station is. Tokyo Bay, which stretches across the prefectures of Chiba, Tokyo and Kanagawa, is Japan's most important LNG power generation hub. JERA operates many of the power plants there, all of which run on LNG.”

It is indeed evil, horrible etc.. But let’s not forget Christians of that area supported the Muslim League during partition. Christians in Kerala continue to support the Muslim League

“At a time when many of the so-called Ulema were categorically opposed to the Pakistan concept, to the Muslim League, and especially to Mr. Jinnah, the leaders of the Christian community were consistently strong supporters of the Quaid-e-Azam’s vision.”
