"Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPR) When the Ukraine War broke out the Biden administration used the SPR to depress crude oil prices and limit Putins war profits. This sort of worked. But its a very blunt tool to use for such a thing. Selling down the SPR also helped cool inflation worldwide. So it was a two birds with one stone move. But the SPR is a complicated part of the global energy system connecting thermodynamics FX inflation and interest rates. In the past the petrodollar was what underpinned the reserve currency status of the US dollar. The petrodollar was the mechanism where the US"

"Nuclear Energy - Deployment at Scale Nuclear Energy does not have a technology problem. The technology is well understood it is mature. Historically XXX grid connected reactors and XXX marine propulsion reactors have ever been built plus a thousand or so experimental reactors. Grid connected reactors have 21000 reactor-years of operation and marine propulsion reactors have 18000 reactor years of operation. Humans have completed XXX million hours of nuclear fission. Today there are XXX civil nuclear power reactors and XXX marine nuclear reactors operating in the world. We know how to do it."

"Capital Expenditure (capex) by Sector The US economy typically has $XXXX T capital expenditure. The table below shows all the sectors of the US economy and their capex. US capex is about X% of world GDP. What is interesting with AI is that the big hyperscaler companies (big cloud providers) have not only aggressively ramped up their own capex to circa $350bn but have almost entirely reshored it in USA. This scaling and reshoring of capex from the most cash rich companies in the world is having an outsize effect on the US economy. What the AI race is doing via the Mag7 is sucking up trillions"
