GENCO@gencostocks🇺🇸🇬🇱 | Donald Trump Jr. landed in Nuuk to discuss the possibility of the US buying Greenland To most, this idea sounds absurd. What's the point? It's actually incredibly strategic & I believe I've p...
SummaryDonald Trump Jr.'s visit to Greenland to discuss a potential US purchase isn't absurd but strategically motivated: Greenland holds vast rare earth minerals and uranium reserves critical for US energy independence and powering AI infrastructure, which tech-focused advisors around Trump want to rapidly accelerate.Jan 7, 202513 tweets♥ 54.4K
Adam Oxsen@AdamOxsenIn 1970, the UK and Norway both discovered oil in the North Sea. The UK sold their reserves to private markets while Norway kept state ownership. This ONE decision created the biggest wealth gap in...
SummaryIn 1970, the UK privatized its North Sea oil reserves while Norway maintained state ownership and created a sovereign wealth fund. Norway's fund is now worth $1.3 trillion ($150,000 per citizen), while the UK receives minimal revenue, demonstrating how resource management policy dramatically impacts national wealth distribution.Mar 8, 202512 tweets♥ 44K
Christopher Webb@cwebbonline🧵 Something folks are missing here: this raid wasn’t about “illegals taking American jobs.” It was about ICE storming the Hyundai–LG battery plant in Georgia, part of a $7.6B Metaplant project that i...
SummaryAn ICE raid on a Hyundai-LG battery plant in Georgia arrested over 300 South Korean engineers and specialists who were building the facility, not taking jobs—the plant wasn't scheduled to open until 2025-2026. The raid, apparently orchestrated as a political stunt by a Republican candidate, risks damaging U.S.-South Korea relations and jeopardizing thousands of future American jobs at the facility.Sep 7, 20254 tweets♥ 39.6K

SummaryEl gobierno Petro otorgó $95 mil millones a empresas vinculadas con el financista Euclides Torres para instalar granjas solares y paneles solares en el Caribe, pero después de 18 meses solo ha construido 6 granjas que no han generado energía y ningún panel individual, incumpliendo el cronograma pactado y reduciendo ambiciones del proyecto.Jan 22, 202611 tweets♥ 6.3K
𝐄𝐥 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥@ElImperialEsp🇪🇸 | 🔴 AL BORDE DE UN SEGUNDO APAGÓN: Nadie lo ha notado, pero hoy España ha estado a punto de sufrir un segundo apagón durante esta mañana. Abrimos hilo. 🧵
SummarySpain's power grid narrowly avoided a second blackout on January 28, 2026, when excessive winds forced the automatic shutdown of numerous wind farms just as demand was rising due to cold weather. Red Eléctrica activated emergency demand response measures and increased gas and nuclear production to stabilize the system, but the incident highlights vulnerabilities in Spain's rapidly transitioning energy system to renewables without adequate backup capacity.Jan 28, 20267 tweets♥ 9.9K

SummaryThe TAL oil pipeline connecting Italy, Austria, and Germany experienced a three-day electricity supply disruption in late March, raising questions about potential sabotage at a critical time for European energy security. While authorities initially kept the incident quiet, the pipeline operator later claimed the outage was due to routine maintenance of an unrelated electrical pylon, though critics question the credibility of this explanation given Europe's precarious energy situation.Apr 11, 202612 tweets♥ 6.2K
Qasem Al-Ali@AlaliQasemThe oil market just passed its breaking point. And it doesn’t matter if the Strait of Hormuz opens tomorrow. Here’s why the damage is already done 🧵
SummaryThe oil market has reached a critical breaking point due to Strait of Hormuz closure, with cumulative storage losses of nearly 2 billion barrels by June that far exceed historical precedent. Even if a ceasefire occurs immediately, the logistics of offloading floating tankers and rerouting vessels will take months to resolve, creating an unprecedented supply crisis that could force the US to ban crude exports or face refinery shutdowns. The only solution is demand destruction on the scale of COVID lockdowns, as the market searches for an unknowable marginal price that prevents complete collapse.Apr 20, 20268 tweets♥ 8.3K

Mikhail Khodorkovsky@khodorkovsky_enA fuel crisis keeps spreading across Russia. I ran the country's largest oil company. Let me explain what is actually happening — and why the Kremlin cannot stop it. 🧵[1/12]
SummaryA former Russian oil executive explains how Ukrainian drone strikes on refineries have triggered a cascading fuel crisis across Russia that the Kremlin cannot effectively manage due to broken logistics and decision-making systems. The government's response of lowering fuel quality standards and tightening state control is making the crisis worse rather than solving it, with potential harvest season diesel shortages looming.Jul 5, 202613 tweets♥ 7.6K
Prof. Bonk 🇺🇦 Perverse & Unintended Consequences@actfast🧵🇷🇺 A Russian general just leaked a devastating trade-off: the Kremlin is prioritizing taking Donbas over protecting the sky above its own occupied land. Putin is spending Russia to buy ground. Ukra...
SummaryA Russian general leaked that the Kremlin is prioritizing territorial gains in Donbas over air defense and critical infrastructure, leaving Russia's fuel supply devastated by Ukrainian strikes on refineries and tanker fleets. With 20-40% of refining capacity offline, severe fuel shortages affecting 50 million Russians, and inability to recruit sufficient troops while maintaining air cover, Russia faces a strategic crisis where territorial advancement comes at unsustainable cost.Jul 11, 202611 tweets♥ 8.2K
