Hello! I never use this site anymore. If you want to see the things I very occasionally feel compelled to post on social media, I'm on Bluesky now. henryepp.bsky.social. See you there.

The #oil industry has relied for decades on a perception of inevitability in oil demand growth. But that perception of inevitability has been punctured, says IEEFA's @ClarkWDerry. via @TheHenryEpp hubs.ly/Q02JMppj0
The oil industry would like to know when global demand will peak. That’s hard to predict.

An accurate estimate depends on a whole lot of variables.

Global demand for oil just keeps growing. At the same time, gas and diesel-powered vehicles are getting more fuel efficient, CGEP scholar Christof Rühl tells @Marketplace reporter @TheHenryEpp. So are other sectors. marketplace.org/2024/07/31/o…

For a @Marketplace story, I'm looking to talk to someone who's closely watching mortgage rates -- whether to buy a house or refinance. If that's you, or someone you know, my DMs are open!

Are you in the market for a new (not used) car, or have you recently bought one? Were you able to negotiate a lower price? If so, I'd like to speak with you for a @Marketplace story. DMs open, or email hepp [at] marketplace [dot] org.

Four software developers say they were fired from a Vermont company last year for passing around a pay transparency spreadsheet. New laws in some states could help prevent these kinds of disputes by requiring salaries to be transparent upfront. marketplace.org/2023/10/11/a…
As pay transparency laws proliferate, some employers remain resistant

As pay transparency laws proliferate, some employers remain resistant

The laws are aimed at closing wage gaps within and between companies. But not all workplaces seem to want transparency.

The only sports team I'm truly a fan of is the Minnesota Twins. Been rooting for them since I was 7. I was in 9th grade the last time they won a playoff game. Tonight's a good night. #MNTwins

They did it. They did it. They did it. The Twins win over the Blue Jays, 3-1. They have won a playoff game for the first time since 2004, snapping an 18-game playoff losing streak that stood as the longest in North American history. Twins fans waited 19 long years for this.

Will demand for oil slow or remain steady in 2024? Great chat with @TheHenryEpp about where oil demand is heading! #oott #oil #china #EVs @ACGlobalEnergy marketplace.org/2023/08/11/w…
Will demand for oil slow or remain steady in 2024?

Will demand for oil slow or remain steady in 2024?

The International Energy Agency expects demand to grow, but more slowly than this year. OPEC expects it to stay about the same.

Dirt roads in Vermont can get "sloppy, messy, rutted, bumpy, slimy" says Andy Purdy of Benson. That's why he sprung for an SUV when he was shopping for an electric vehicle. More on the trend towards larger vehicles in the EV market: marketplace.org/2023/06/15/e…

While EV trucks and SUVs are better for the environment than their gas-guzzling counterparts, they come with other problems.

The #I95Collapse will cost time, money, and could have wide ranging #infrastructure and economic impacts well beyond Philadelphia. Nice talking with @TheHenryEpp @Marketplace on what to expect next: marketplace.org/2023/06/13/p…

Three entities have bought or made serious plans to buy the former campus of Southern Vermont College since it closed in 2019. Alan Weissman's firm would be the fourth. He wants to turn the place into a luxury resort. My latest for Marketplace: marketplace.org/2023/06/01/a…

It isn’t easy to find buyers for typical cinder-block campus buildings.

BTV requires landlords to cover relocation costs when their tenants are displaced. After a small fire last week, Joe Handy didn’t, and the city didn’t check to make sure he was. So one woman walked to a homeless shelter on Monday night. We went with her. m.sevendaysvt.com/vermont/a-…

Last year, vinyl sales beat CD sales for the first time since 1987. That’s meant lots of business for record pressing plants. But it hasn’t been an easy ride. My latest for @Marketplace: marketplace.org/2023/05/01/a…

As vinyl record sales eclipse CDs, LP pressing plants are thriving

Streaming is still king, but vinyl sales continue to grow.

Seven years ago — in the name of transparency — the Vermont Senate finally required its members to fill out financial disclosure forms. But how transparent is the process? To access the info, you have to go to the Statehouse in person to ask for it. (1/)

Scoopers at Ben & Jerry's flagship shop in Burlington want to unionize. "The social activism that we really work for externally just does not exist the way that it needs to internally," one worker-organizer says. sevendaysvt.com/vermont/scoo…
