| 1640875912055881729 | Hate to spoil a good story with facts @AlexEpstein but WTI price has fallen more than -$42 (-35%) since June 2022. #energy #OOTT #oilandgas #WTI #CrudeOil #fintwit #OPEC #Commodities Those anti-fossil fuel trouble makers must not be very good at their jobs after all. https://t.co/MT3KkveiQ4 https://t.co/yHEvlkkY3d | 5 |
| 1640006248874618882 | @EIAgov @SubstackInc @GridBrief @energybants @AlexEpstein @joelkotkin One more. This shows change in price since '08 in nominal terms. For perspective, JUST THE INCREASE in CA residential rates (12.4 cents/kWh) is greater than current price of juice in 12 US states. Again here's a link. Please share.
