Daniel Yergen: The World Could Be On The Verge Of An Energy Crisis Rivaling The 1970s -- March 3, 2022

One difference regarding the energy crisis: in the 1970s: plenty of oil, but OPEC embargoed it; now there's a question of whether there is plenty of oil at any price? Link here. Daniel Yergen wrote the bible with regard to the history of oil: The Prize: The Epic Quest of Oil, Money, and Power, c. 1990.

Canada, maxed out: Canadian minister says Canada's oil can't solve Russian supply problem. Canada's export capacity is "pretty much maxed out." Link here. World's fourth-largest producer lacks pipelines to coasts.

$185: JPMorgan says $185-oil in view. Fortunately that's Brent. WTI will come in about $4 less / bbl. Link to Rizgone.

Everything's bigger in Texas: world's largest green hydrogen hub to be built in south Texas. Link to Hart Energy. Here's the press release.

Promoter: Green Hydrogen International will create Hydrogen City, Texas: a massive, world-class undertaking that will put Texas on the map as a leading green hydrogen producer. Memo to self: check in on North Dakota - Mitsubishi project.

• when complete, capacity to grow to 60GW in size and producing over 2.5 billion kilograms of green hydrogen per year;
• the hydrogen storage facility in the Piedras Pinitas Salt Dome in Duval County
• pipe the green hydrogen to Corpus Christi and Brownsville
