Shill, baby, shill! Lowest oil drilling in 4 years; Deplorables duped hourly by this administration

[Jodaily]

While I agree that nuclear power should be considered his attitude is totally uncool. He has his ideas and opinions, and you have yours. This is the problem these days. No tolerance for someone else’s opinions.

Times this has happened: too many to count.

A master class in triggering Deplorables.

Straight to ignore,I have not got the time or the patience for these alts.

Hello, fellow ESLer!

What Earth needs is: Nuclear Power Plants! America needs to start building 100 in the next 5 years!

Oil has almost nothing to do with electricity production, so nuclear power plants aren’t really relevant to this thread about oil production. Only 0.04% of US electric plants are oil fired.

Anyway, let’s not lose track of US oil production dropping six weeks in a row.

Gasoline prices continue to be higher than when Donnie took office.

The history of oil and gas production is defined by continuous innovation.

Durrrrrrrp!

The history of oil and gas production since the 1973 arab oil embargo has basically been defined by OPEC cartel price manipulation. The opening of the North Sea oil platforms took away a lot of that pain, as did the development of catastrophic fracking.

When crude oil reaches and stays at around $57 per barrel shale oil is profitable. Oil is currently $75 /bbl (up from $70/bbl during the Biden administration), so high school graduates with little education but strong backs can make $150K per year in the oil fields, which in turn props up the price of 10mpg Dodge RAM trucks.

Innovation and lax environmental regulation are the current drivers of oil prices today.

The number of people employed in oil and gas extraction has steadily dropped since Trump took office.

Don’t drill, baby. Don’t drill.

Gasoline price increased again.

Gas was $3.01 per gallon at the beginning of the year. It’s $3.19 now.

Don’t drill, baby. Don’t drill.

Just a part of the golden age of the trump economy.

We don’t seem to have general energy thread, so I’ll post this here.

Plug-in solar panels are coming to Utah because of a law change. Other states are following suit.

The panels are cheap and very easy to install.

Earlier this year, Utah became the first state in the country to pass legislation allowing people to purchase and install small, portable solar panels that plug into a standard wall socket.

When attached outside to the balcony or patio of a dwelling, such panels can provide enough power for residents to run free of charge, home appliances such as fridges, dishwashers, washing machines and wi-fi without spending money on electricity from the grid.

Balcony solar panels are now widespread in countries such as Germany – where more than 1m homes have them – but have until now been stymied in the US by state regulations. This is set to change, with lawmakers in New York and Pennsylvania filing bills to join Utah in adopting permission for the panels, with Vermont, Maryland and New Hampshire set to follow suit soon.

In Utah, state legislator Raymond Ward was intrigued after reading about balcony solar and realized a minor adjustment to the law would allow Utahns to purchase the technology. His legislation carved out an exemption from interconnection agreements for people generating 1.2 kilowatt of power or less.

In Germany the systems cost about $300.

Reduced electric bills for the life of the system. What’s not to like?

The only downside is that there will be current in your electric wires even after you flip your breaker to the power grid. People will just have to remember to unplug the solar panels before doing any electrical work.
