E&E News ([link removed]) (11/26/25) reports: "One of the world’s best-known green groups is duking it out against a Texas energy company in a multi-pronged legal drama that has legal nerds, environmentalists and other companies watching closely...The sprawling and complicated battle could drag on for a while, with possible stops ahead in the North Dakota Supreme Court or even the U.S. Supreme Court. On a parallel track, a countersuit filed by Greenpeace International in the Netherlands poses the first-of-its-kind test of European rules aimed at protecting free speech...Greenpeace USA has said Energy Transfer’s lawsuit is a strategic effort to silence dissent and that the green group could potentially go bankrupt if the penalties against it remain severe. As of now, the environmental group faces a judgment of almost $350 million...Tom Pyle, president of the American Energy Alliance, has been keeping tabs on the
dispute dating back to the “mischief” Greenpeace 'created and caused during the Dakota Access pipeline protests,' he said. 'The left seems to think that the ends justify the means, that they’re righteous in their causes,' Pyle said. 'But people’s lives were impacted. People got hurt. We were very pleased that Energy Transfer took a stand here.'...Pyle of the American Energy Alliance said he hopes the legal outcome will be a 'calming effect within the green community, especially the ones that are more strident in their activities.' The lengthy and high-profile litigation 'certainly puts them on notice that companies are going to start calling them out on these things,' he said."

Giving thanks for all those in the energy sector who make modern life possible for the rest of us.

(11/27/25) blog: "The celebration of a good harvest by about 50 Pilgrims and 90 Wampanoag Indians at Plymouth Plantation in 1621 is commemorated each year in the U.S. The three days of feasting at Plymouth was a respite from fear and poverty. Only half of the original hundred Pilgrims had survived the winter that followed their landing. Yes, the air and water was pristine, the food organic and free-range, and the energy renewable. But abject poverty and death were the norm. Today, Thanksgiving celebrates the compound benefits of human progress. But it should also be a warning against the threat of almost unimaginable retrogression, in energy and otherwise. Capitalist institutions, particularly incentives from private property, which the early settlers stumbled upon, would institutionalize good harvests for millions of Americans. But another factor literally fueled progress: dense mineral energies to better warm, cook, and light, and to run the machines of the Industrial Revolution...The
work of fossil fuels and electricity can never end. 'I am ashamed at the number of things around my house and shops that are done by … human beings,' Thomas Edison stated a century ago. 'Hereafter a motor must do all the chores.' Prometheus Unbound still has many chores to do, freeing time for other pursuits."

Somehow, this isn't a joke.

(11/26/25) reports: "Former US Secretary of State John Kerry was knighted Wednesday by King Charles III, receiving England’s highest honor in a closed-door reception at Buckingham Palace. Kerry, 81, was formally awarded the Knight Commander award of the Order of St. Michael and St. George, which is typically bestowed to recognize foreign diplomats and is the highest honor that a noncitizen of the United Kingdom can receive. The former Massachusetts senator received the honor for 'services to tackling climate change.' During the Biden administration, Kerry served as the US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate and pushed countries to phase out fossil fuels. In an interview with The Boston Globe, he criticized President Trump’s attacks on climate change and green energy initiatives."

You feel bad for this woman, but just don't buy a subsidized car next time (especially an ugly one).

** Inside EVs ([link removed])
(11/26/25) reports: "'Do not get an electric car. This is the worst financial decision I’ve ever made.' With that opening line, a Georgia-based Ford Mustang Mach-E owner kicked off a viral EV rant on TikTok, fueled by $28,000 in negative equity and a resale market moving faster than many new buyers realize. The clip from traveling nurse Morgan Taylor goes into painstaking detail, offering Taylor’s regrets and gripes about how underwater she is for a car that she’s not even sure fits her lifestyle, which includes a nearly 160-mile round-trip commute three days a week...Taylor says she paid roughly $58,000 for her 2023 Mustang Mach-E, including taxes, fees, and an extended warranty. That number isn’t far off from typical transaction prices last year. Most sources show the 2023 Mach-E Premium Extended Range trim carried an MSRP in the mid-$50,000s, and industry transaction-price data from Edmunds and Kelley Blue Book confirms that many EV buyers regularly paid above sticker in 2022 and early
2023 due to limited inventory. Where her story diverges from the usual new-car depreciation curve is in the resale valuation. Taylor claims her Mach-E is now worth about $20,000."
