Source: GROK Energy markets expose a fundamental flaw in human decision-making: we misjudge risk. Daniel Kahneman, in Thinking, Fast and Slow, explains how our fast, emotional “System 1” often overrides deliberate reasoning. Nassim Taleb’s Antifragile trilogy adds that systems built on false stability eventually collapse under volatility. Together, they explain why billion-dollar energy failures keep repeating. Kahneman’s Cognitive Traps Anchoring Bias : After the 2014 oil cr

Source: TESLA After Winter Storm Uri, Texas learned the hard way that its grid restoration system needs a reboot. Over 80% of ERCOT’s Black Start units failed during the 2021 freeze, exposing weaknesses in a system built around fossil generation. Now ERCOT and FERC are exploring whether Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) can help restart the grid after a blackout—using fast-acting, inverter-based batteries to energize substations and transmission corridors. Advantages Inst

Source: Helion Energy Exceptional materials degradation caused by large quantities of fusion neutrons is one of the single largest factors limiting the economics and safety of fusion energy. Despite massive R&D momentum, including the Department of Energy’s roadmap targeting deployment in the 2030s, fusion remains a distant prospect rather than a near-term solution. The challenge lies not just in achieving sustained fusion reactions, but in withstanding them. The bombardment

Source: EIA Electricity prices are surging across the U.S., thrusting energy affordability into the political spotlight. From Virginia to New Jersey, escalating costs are fueling debate as utilities grapple with soaring demand from AI-driven data centers and rapid electrification. In the PJM region — spanning Illinois to New Jersey — wholesale power costs have climbed more than 30% year-over-year , according to Reuters and EIA data. Much of this increase stems from the surge
