It is now apparently "raining oil" in Tehran. The city drowning in oil is a poignant illustration of the vagaries of the petrostate. #petrocultures

New article: Carbon cultures of progress in history of technology museums, by me & Nora Thorade.
We examine how #histtech #museums narrate our industrial heritage and make its energy reliance visible or invisible.

Four double-page spreads of an "Amoco Fashion Brochure" from the early 1970s, showing Amoco-branded uniforms for petrol station staff. Two men and a woman are shown, wearing various combinations of uniforms, on a garage forecourt, Town Centre Service Station
An Amoco staff uniform "fashion brochure" from c.1972–3, showing Town Centre Service Station in Feltham, Middlesex (which I think was about where the car park is outside Matalan). Is that a Triumph 1500, or a Dolomite? More info here: www.flickr.com/photos/danlo... #petrolstations #petrocultures

The interior of a Greater Anglia class 745 train with the destination “Next station: Manningtree” on the display. An advert for Hiscox insurance intentionally includes the typo “carless” instead of “careless”
A photo of a Leyland Marathon fuel tanker in the livery of Carless plc (with Anglo Petroleum logo on the back) approaching the Carless Refinery at Harwich
A very niche post for the #petrocultures historians of East Anglia, but I thought it was interesting to see “carless” as an intentional typo on the Hiscox advert, as I headed on the train towards Harwich,where for 60 years the Carless name hasn’t been a typo at all

Have snuck a cute little quote about (1950s) American "tailfin civilization" from Tom Wolfe's The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test into a paper about oil companies and #petrocultures in the #energytransition. Let's see if anyone digs it. #oilandgas
