According to StanChart, the new restrictions roughly triple the number of directly sanctioned Russian crude oil tankers, enough to affect around 900,000 barrels per day (bpd). Whereas it’s highly likely that Russia will try to circumvent the sanctions by employing even more shadow fleet tankers and ship-to-ship transfers, StanChart sees 500,000 bpd of displacements over the next six months. Other than the sanctions, StanChart says there are other reasons for the strength in prompt markets: OPEC+ has largely stuck to its target quotas; non-weather-related demand is more robust than consensus expected; and non-OPEC supply growth is coming in lower-than-expected. In short, StanChart says the market strength is likely to persist after weather patterns return to seasonal averages. Last month, commodity analysts at Standard Chartered argued that the latest decision by OPEC+ to delay the planned output increase by three months to April 2025, and extend the full unwind of production cuts by a year until the end of 2026 will ensure that oil markets are not oversupplied in 2025.

BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, has also left the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative due to legal concerns and confusion surrounding its practices. European banks are reevaluating their participation in net-zero alliances, and the future of climate finance initiatives is uncertain." "Some of Europe’s biggest banks are rethinking their membership and involvement in net-zero initiatives as Donald Trump returns to office and Republican-led U.S. states are going after “woke capital.” This, they say, discriminates against America’s oil, gas, and coal industry by committing to net-zero portfolios and adopting principles that could reduce financing for fossil fuel projects. Since early December, the biggest U.S. banks – Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, and JP Morgan – have all quit the NZBA. " "At the end of November, a group of Republican states led by Texas sued BlackRock and fellow asset managers Vanguard and State Street for alleged violation of antitrust laws. The states allege that the asset managers have been pressuring coal firms to lower output to cut emissions, thus driving up electricity prices in America. Since leaving the net-zero asset managers’ alliance, BlackRock has reached a settlement with the state of Tennessee, which had sued the world’s biggest asset manager for misleading consumers regarding the role of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors in its investment practices. The settlement concluded a lawsuit filed by the State of Tennessee under the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).

Did you think gasoline was ever restricted and he needed freedom to buy gasoline? Do you disagree that a ban on windmills is a reduction of freedom? Why can't I have windmills? Do you think a windmill related problem could ever match the epic disasters oil has produced (too numerous to count, and you know they exist)? Do you deny oil contains benzene - a known carcinogen? These are all simple questions you could answer. Everything in my post was factual. Where is benzene found in everyday life? Among smokers, 90 percent of benzene exposures come from smoking. Benzene may also be found in glues, adhesives, cleaning products, and paint strippers. Outdoor air contains low levels of benzene from secondhand tobacco smoke, gasoline fumes, motor vehicle exhaust, and industrial emissions.Aug 6, 2024 Benzene - Cancer-Causing Substances - NCIYch National Cancer Institute https://www.cancer.gov › causes-prevention › risk › ben... I don't suggest you run your car in a garage with the door down for more than a minute or two, but benzene is in alot of products and you're bitch' about one product.. Benzene as a Chemical Hazard in Processed Foods - PMC Windmills kill birds, and bats, and are Gawd awful eye pollution. The windmill projects where I live are going bye-bye. Even the socialists don't want them by their houses. Your arguments about benzene are laughable. You cook with electricity or heat your home only with electric? Natural gas and propane open flames produce benzene, is why you should run the overhead stove fan so the pollutants go outside to disperse. You post alot of opinions from just your point of view. More toxins from wildfires in California put out more toxins than all the cars in the world would in 3 years minimum. I feel bad for those folks but build fire zones or in hurricane ally and my level of sympathy drops to near zero. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
