Unfortunately there really is no correct answer right now. I saw we keep burning coal and oil in the meantime.

Nuclear energy comparatively, has very high energy output, but things like Chernobyl and Fukushima scare people, along with the waste storage with very long half-lives.

Maybe we can ask Elon to launch the barrels of waste into deep space at a discount, in exchange for a more robust power grid that would boost sales of his EVs 😅
 
Ben is out there shaking the water off a sword coming out of the tumbler and screaming some emo song while swinging this sword around and looks up and sees the painter at the van just looking at him and wondering about his life choices.

You fell for that tripe?

Grenock Grenock gives the NSA its marching orders.

Ever notice whereabouts in the U.S. of A. he resides? I rest my case.

It’s so absurdly all over the place here. It’s $5.79 by my house, (in the sticks of course), over $6 in town around Seattle and Everett, and it’s $5.05 two counties north. I got diesel on Sunday two counties north when we went to the in laws. Don’t make any sense. But I see gas is coming down just in time for some votes.

Regular just dropped .20 to $4.50 here, Diesel is $4.70. Strange to see prices going down, as the middle East is brittle. At least we still have 1/2 of the reserves left….🤪

Crude oil is a global commodity and as such, there are all sort of option contracts on this community (calls and puts options, more or less that same as going long or short on common stocks). Conventional rationale would agree that when the M.E. seems to be up shyte creek, the price of crude ought to jump through the roof but when the opposite of that happens, it means that those with very, very, very serious sums of $ vested in these games, know things ahead of time which allows them to make corrections on their suspect bets! I have read articles about an impending recession in the 4th Q in addition to a glut of oil supplies on tankers, but this is my take:

Saudi Arabia will give us and more importantly the U.S (literally) free friggin oil as long as we take care of their Iran problem for them. The dispatching of the 2 career fleets toward the Med Sea and the bolstering of our naval presence in the Gulf is some sort of extra needed assurance to the KSA. I am going to use a dirty phrase in here but gotta love me some quid pro quo ;)

I reserve the right to be totally wrong at all times!

ETA: The KSA plays games with us with all this OPEC price gouging cr*p, etc, buying weapons from the Chinese (and Putin before his Ukraine f*ckery), yada, yada, but they know that we got the best stuff man, the very best of the best. They just like to flirt with that fugly mook (let's name him: Xi Ping) to make us a bit jelly.

Those knife forum lists are still bullshit, Max. As for the other kind, I suspect I am on quite a few already.
