Biden gave them back to the Irainians. Little-known U.S. firm secures deal for Syrian oil Former diplomat and special forces soldier got green light to work with Kurds to develop crude in northeastern Syria. An American company has inked a contract with Kurdish authorities in northeastern Syria to develop and export the region’s crude oil under a secretive deal approved by the U.S. government months after President Donald Trump announced he was leaving U.S. troops to “secure the oil,” multiple people familiar with the project told POLITICO. The agreement reached by a little-known firm helmed by politically connected former military and diplomatic officials has already angered the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad, which does not recognize the Kurdish authorities as autonomous. The Syrian Foreign Minister called the deal illegal and said it is aimed at “stealing” Syria’s crude. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/03/delta-crescent-energy-syrian-oil-391033 Edited January 4 by Eyes Wide Open 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LMAO... Mckinsey are you a Irainian? Asking for a friend of course. US oil company's Syria operations canned by Biden administration Syria's main oil fields are in the country's northeast, a region controlled by the US-allied Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces who depend on the oil for income. In August DCE inked a deal with the Kurds in northern Syria to develop and export the area's crude oil. Meanwhile, the company has said that it had not received official notice from the US Treasury Department indicating that its waiver would not be renewed, according to AP. Typically the department gives companies some warning in order to wrap up operations.

Ecocharger + 967 DL January 5 (edited) Uh oh, a big bump in the road for those pesky EV promoters! https://oilprice.com/Energy/Crude-Oil/The-Biggest-Challenge-Facing-Bidens-Electric-Vehicle-Infrastructure-Plan.html "President Biden had sought $15 billion for the plan, but Congress cut that amount in half in the recently-passed infrastructure bill. Nevertheless, the Administration has stuck to the original plan, with $5 billion deployed to states, territories and the District of Columbia. The remaining $2.5 billion will be targeted at putting charging stations in rural areas. Fast chargers are needed, because the amount of time it takes to charge a vehicle is another factor influencing the decision to purchase an electric vehicle. But the reduced funding likely means more slower charging stations. Level 2 charging stations require 2-10 hours to fully recharge a depleted battery. Higher power and more expensive Level 3 charging stations can achieve this in 30 minutes. " Edited January 5 by Ecocharger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ecocharger + 967 DL January 5 (edited) Prices of essential inputs into batteries are now in a ferocious upward surge, thus making battery prices a costlier product. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/The-10-Best-Performing-Commodities-Of-2021.html "Last year, Mining.com launched the EV Battery Metals Index, a tool that tracks the value of lithium, cobalt, nickel, and other battery metals flowing into the global EV industry at any given point in time. The index combines two main sets of data: prices paid for the mined minerals at the point of entry into the global battery supply chain and the sales-weighted volume of the raw materials in electric and hybrid passenger car batteries sold around the world. That index has quadrupled from May 2020, indicating an industry that's been expanding at breakneck speed this year--even despite challenges such as the ongoing pandemic, supply chain constraints, and rising raw materials costs. Back in 2009, around the time when Tesla's first Roadsters hit the road, electric and hybrid cars sold around the world contained a paltry 31 tonnes of lithium in their batteries worth a combined $182,000. Fast forward to the present, and the industry has grown 3,330-fold for a value of $609 million. Over the past five years alone, the annualized value of lithium in EVs has gone up more than 1,000%.

Unit SMC Global Power Holdings Corp. targets to complete this year 31 energy storage facilities with total capacity of 1,000 megawatts, San Miguel said in a stock exchange filing. This will augment the group’s renewable energy portfolio, which includes solar, liquefied natural gas and hydroelectric power plants, it said. Dressing your dog for the wi One of the Philippines’ largest power generators, San Miguel in July said it will drop new coal projects from its expansion plan as it transitions to a low-carbon future.

First you say my methodology is the problem then you say it has nothing to do with the issue. I wish you would make up your mind. However my methodology is the only thing relevant to the issue. If a relevant number of people are turned off then sales will go down. If sales skyrocket then the number turned off is irrelevant. So simple I would think even you could understand it. Provide the link that says it was under warranty but denied replacement and why. Then explain why he didn't have a third party work on it.
