A total of 71,496 plug-in vehicles (55,449 BEVs and 16,047 PHEVs) were sold during April 2022 in the United States, up 37.1% from the sales in April 2021. Schizophrenia is a serious mental disorder in which people interpret reality abnormally. Schizophrenia may result in some combination of hallucinations, delusions, and extremely disordered thinking and behavior that impairs daily functioning, and can be disabling. People with schizophrenia require lifelong treatment. Early treatment may help get symptoms under control before serious complications develop and may help improve the long-term outlook. The low availability of vehicles, including EVs, has been driven in part by supply chain problems — most notably a shortage of semiconductor chips since early 2021 — that have led automakers to idle plants, leaving fewer cars and trucks available for consumers. Cox Automotive reports the supply of all new vehicles at the end of April was down 40% from the same period a year earlier to 1.13 million unsold cars and trucks. That's about 800,000 vehicles below supply in April 2021 and 2.2 million below 2020. Edited May 28, 2022 by Eyes Wide Open 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ecocharger + 1,374 DL May 31, 2022 (edited) This is what happens when governments are misled by faulty climate models into declaring war on 85% pf the energy supply, https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Why-US-Shale-Firms-Arent-Likely-To-Change-Their-Growth-Plans.html "Shale oil production is going to increase this year, that's for sure. Yet it is becoming abundantly clear that it will not increase as much as the White House or the average driver would like it to increase. The circumstances are quite unfortunate, really. The industry is still recovering from the pandemic, suffering the lingering effects of lockdown-related supply chain breakdowns that have now created shortages and pushed prices higher. As one Permian independent put it to Bloomberg, "It's just more difficult to get some of the key products that we need, whether that's pipe or sand. If we wanted to increase activity, say from three rigs to four or five, we would certainly have to plan on that a lot further out than what you would have had to a year or two back," Travis Thompson, chief executive of FireBird Energy said. The focus on shareholder returns is also unlikely to change anytime soon. Oil and gas might be raking in the cash because of high oil prices, but overall, it remains a pariah industry for many as the energy transition's momentum accelerates amid the struggle to regain some energy security when a sizeable chunk of the world's global oil supply is being targeted by sanctions. What this means is that U.S. shale, like OPEC, is not riding to the rescue. U.S. shale has its own priorities.""

Idemitsu Renewables chief executive Cary Vandenberg said: "Considering the unprecedented supply chain challenges the industry faced this past year, we are proud to have successfully achieved commercial operation of the Luciana project through our partnership with East Bay Clean Energy (EBCE). "By leveraging our financial strength and development expertise, we're helping California meet its aggressive clean energy goals while also providing significant investment in Tulare County." The renewable power generated by the Luciana project will be sold through a 15-year power purchase agreement with EBCE, which serves Alameda County and neighbouring cities. EBCE chief executive Nick Chaset said: "The Luciana project brings more low-cost renewable energy to EBCE's portfolio, and it's another big step forward on EBCE's path to 100% clean energy for all of our customers by 2030."

It is not just demand--there are plenty of supply side issues, such as oil companies choosing to switch to refining more jet and diesel fuel (as they are more profitable) and the fact that there are fewer refineries overall (“The U.S. has now a million barrels a day less of refining capacity than we did in 2019 at a time when we need every barrel of capacity,” De Haan said.) https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/3490553-heres-why-gasoline-prices-are-spiking-again/ Oil companies don't appear to be interested in reopening shutdown refineries, which is probably at least partially due to the push for renewables--if you can't be assured that these refineries will continue to be used long-term, why open them, especially when you are making money hand-over-fist in the current market?

You have touched on a subject that will be quite controversial shortly. Summed up Entitlement , oil investment and production has been taken for granted. Almost a dirty secret/topic, the environmental activists and politician's has bastardied the industry...all that is evil. Recent events on the world stage has demonstrated the abject failure of Green Energy implementation today the world is becoming acutely aware of fossil fuels relevance to modern society. Oil production and investment is not a entitlement, there is by no means any obligation to produce. Perhaps we are entering a time of rebuilding value to the brand.

China says a third of electricity will come from renewables by 2025 SHANGHAI, June 1 (Reuters) - China will aim to ensure that its grids source about 33% of power from renewable sources by 2025, up from 28.8% in 2020, the state planning agency said on Wednesday in a new "five-year plan" for the renewable sector. China's total renewable energy consumption is set to reach about 1 billion tonnes of standard coal equivalent (TCE) by 2025, as the country bids to raise the share of non-fossil fuels in total energy use to 20%, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said. China, the biggest source of climate-warming greenhouse gases, has pledged to raise total wind and solar capacity to 1,200 gigawatts by 2030, almost double the current rate, with plans to build large-scale renewable energy bases in northwestern desert regions.https://www.reuters.com/business/sustainable-business/china-says-third-electricity-will-come-renewables-by-2025-2022-06-01/ Edited June 1, 2022 by Jay McKinsey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
