Crazy. Natural gas prices in Texas plunge deep into negative territory and producers are burning it off, while the rest of the world braces for shortages. "Since negative prices mean producers have to pay to someone to take the supply off their hands, excess natural gas is often burned off, and so-called flaring events this season are at five-year highs." So it'll be several years if Qatar can get its natural gas production back to levels it once was, and Europe needs it badly. But in Texas, they have too much on their hands. This makes no sense to me at all.

Is anyone really using OpenClaw? Makes you wonder. Do people just say they use it, to appear like they're caught up with the latest fad, but they actually don't find it that useful? I still don't know what all the hype is.
Here's an example from Anthropic:
It opens your apps, navigates your browser, fills in spreadsheets—anything you'd do sitting at your desk.How many people trust and need agents to handle stuff like this? OpenClaw is just a proof of concept, and I think it's going to fade out.
Claude uses your connected apps first: Slack, Calendar, and other integrations.
Assign a task from your phone, turn your attention to something else, and come back to finished work on your computer.
Tell Claude once to scan your email every morning or pull a report every Friday, and it handles it from there.

Why more WA utilities want to remotely control your thermostat. This comment is spot on:
If your response to energy demand is to lower people’s standard of living, it’s because you’re a total failure in building out key infrastructure for the state.
Hear! Hear!
