    So this is either a big oil corp spending pennies on theorycrafting some exciting buzzword technosolutions

    Or

    A big oil corp which figured out that if they want to stay relevant for more than 10 yrs they need to diversify into other energy sources. With all the deserved hate they attract such companies are probably most likely to invent and implement aomething like this at scale.

    It doesn’t change the fact that they should be nationalized asap and their decisionmakers jailed.

      How did that go in Venezuela?

      Sounds like a really effective way of deterring innovation to me.

          That’s the only recent nationalisation I can think of, do you have any other successful ones?

          Or are you saying Venezuela’s energy infrastructure wasn’t fucked by nationalisation?
