However, the second straight weekly decline could be cut short very quickly if Donald Trump’s February 1 deadline for Canada and Mexico leads to the US slapping punitive 25% sanctions. If the threat does become a reality, the oil bulls will not stop until Brent is back above $80 per barrel." Also, some of the false assumptions of the Green movement have been exposed by the former Biden administration officers, https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/new-report-aims-turn-iea-away-energy-transition-focus-2025-01-29/ "IEA criticized for focus on clean energy policy Report claims IEA's assumptions on oil demand are flawed IEA defends its projections, calls report error-filled" The Trump policies are already being implemented, https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-moves-repeal-biden-administration-vehicle-fuel-economy-standards-2025-01-29/ "The agency in June said it would hike Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) requirements to about 50.4 miles per gallon (4.67 liters per 100 km) by 2031 from 39.1 mpg currently for light-duty vehicles. Duffy, who took office late Tuesday, also directed NHTSA to reconsider rules for heavy duty pickup trucks and vans through 2035. "Artificially high fuel economy standards designed to meet non-statutory policy goals, such as those NHTSA has promulgated in recent years, impose large costs that render many vehicle models unaffordable for the average American family," Duffy's memo said. "They also put coercive pressure on automakers to phase out production of various models of popular (internal combustion engine) vehicles."" expected price rises????? crude no....at the pump yes......enjoy paying the tariffs at the pump...... ha ha ha and you have an Econ degree??????

The evidence is clear that lithium plus anti-depressants helps prevent suicide in those with alternating mania and depression. Is lithium good for you? No. But it is far better for you than suicide.

This is why there is a decrease in total numbers. So some slow learners just don't understand how rigs actually work. So Down can actually be UP. I know about directional drilling, multiple holes, and all that. There was a time where the efficiency gains per well was greater than the effect of well count reduction. That time is over over as the easiest oil has already been extracted. The production rates per well are now also falling. There is a limit on how many holes and fracking you can do to extend the life of an oil well site before you actually have to invest in more exploration. Problem is nobody wants to invest in that anymore. Down can also be down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We had discussion if it would work in this forum. First question raised was the concept is probably skewed. - when sunlight is shined on a mirror, with intention to reflect heat onto collective disc, simple experiment or daily encounter would prove it wrong in thinking. - mirror will get hot. But the heat won't be reflected but dissipated to the surrounding. Only light is reflected. Not heat. Second, to achieve 500'C to 1000'C is impossible when concept of heat reflection is misused. Efficiency of 7% is a joke..... - it should use design of magnifying glass, where heat is concentrated via refraction of light. Hope it is not a mess up of reflection and refraction... 'o' '-' #$_&-+/@ Without competition, this design still can't stand. The fall is just. How much money is spent on the scale? Who was paying? Obem & Bod? Private project?

specinho + 489 yesterday at 06:30 AM Mojave desert, reminds me of a light hearted movie titled: Rango. It's truly funny but i can no longer find the old movie trailer. And it's meaningful. Synopsis: A pet chameleon was travelling with its owners. It was role playing with its playmates in a dry fish tank when mishap happened. The chameleon was flung out from the car onto the road of Mojave desert. From a cowardice homegrown chameleon and a stranger to a town trying to blend in with lies, it transformed into a true hero with very good luck, trust, help from friends. Note: you need to identify your motive in everything you do. To cheat/ scam for wealth will bring you down naturally, eventually. Only when you have decided who you want to be, that you can truly be, by chance, by very good luck and with friends. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ecocharger + 1,523 DL 12 hours ago Oil prices are soaring with the plans on Iran taking shape. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Oil-Prices/Oil-Prices-Spike-As-Markets-Digest-Trumps-Iran-Crackdown.html "Oil prices took a sharp turn today as traders weighed President Trump’s latest “maximum pressure” push against Iran. Brent crude rose to $76.34 per barrel (+0.50%), while WTI’s loss from early in the day shrunk to just a 0.31% dropoff at $72.93 per barrel." "Trump’s plan? Squeeze Iran’s oil exports down to zero—a bold move considering Iran still ships as much as 1.3 million barrels per day, mostly to China. The White House’s playbook includes fresh sanctions, tighter enforcement, and rolling back existing waivers. Translation: If the administration makes good on these threats, global supply could tighten overnight. The last time Trump went all-in on Iranian sanctions, oil prices spiked north of $80. The market remembers. This time, with Middle East tensions already simmering and OPEC+ struggling to maintain discipline, the upside risk is real."

A question was raised before: Why Turkey is allowed to own nuclear weapon but not iran? Bacause they turned Turkey from a muslim country to christianity over night and keep it well fed in the pocket? Do they have intention to do it again on iran to solve it? Nope? Just appoint corrupted puppet imbecile will do? They will rob those countries off their resources using Turkey as base? And israel, a constant chaos stirrer? Middle east will be gone at ease, with more than half are not citizens? Monarchy system will be wiped starting with weak UK and its commonwealth copy cats? The ripple effect from one small act... could be far reaching. The target is not oil price but all oil production fields in the middle east and the monarchy system...??
