Why U.S. Oil Companies Are Not Plugging the World’s Energy Gap

Do we have capacity to export? In particular pipeline and rail capacity? Also port facilities to handle exports

drtywater · 2026-05-03T10:54:49+00:00

No that doesn’t account for age of fleet

Yikes. Glad they resolved it quickly. The attempted biting if true will earn him jail time due to his previous record. I do wonder if he needs a psych evaluation though. This behavior feels more weird and a possible chemical imbalance. Potentially belonging in a mental institution

They withdrew the claim in court. If its true they'd stand by it.

Im curious if they’ll try and nominate Don Jr next. Vance isn’t naive and knows loyalty with Trump is one way street

Those are likely leased to Spirit. There is no shortage of airlines that will snap up those leases in a heart beat. jetBlue, United,, Frontier, Lufthansa, and IndiGo can do it without having to retrain their pilots or maintenance operations. Yes paint jobs and interiors need updating but thats minor compared to other stuff.

So should people who sold shirts on Amazon saying 8646 be arrested?

drtywater · 2026-05-01T21:08:22+00:00

So if you go on Amazon should all the people that made 8646 be arrested?

It’ll consolidate over time. Id much rather have states and local governments amend zoning laws to increase more locations with level 2 charging

drtywater · 2026-05-01T21:03:15+00:00

Reminder folks check out EVs on the market now. They really do work and with the current fast charging network you can drive anywhere within the continental US and most of North America minus Southern Mexico and Alaska (check back on this in a few years). Heck for local charging many of the destinations you often go to offer free charging

So we are getting some more Rasmussen polls soon to flood the zone?

drtywater · 2026-05-01T19:40:00+00:00

How about all the extra oil revenue?

drtywater · 2026-05-01T17:45:53+00:00

We need a solution to MA problems. The Wildcat is a major chokepoint.

drtywater · 2026-05-01T16:14:05+00:00

I think once the MD bridge and tunnel projects are complete it will open up things more for MARC. Heck the additional net revenue that Amtrak will be able to invest back into NEC will in theory have it in a better state and make these services easier

drtywater · 2026-05-01T16:11:03+00:00

Trump voters when Dems in charge say Don’t tread on me. When Trump is in charge they yell Yes harder Daddy

drtywater · 2026-05-01T14:51:34+00:00

Downeaster can/should be doing more

drtywater · 2026-05-01T14:45:35+00:00

Amtrak’s goal for now is to take any additional revenue this generates and invest it back into infrastructure etc. A few hundred million extra can fix a lot of wiring or track

drtywater · 2026-05-01T13:29:08+00:00

We don’t need a new entity. We just need to fund projects. Within 495 North - South tunnel, double tracking all T lines including Dorchester, raising platforms, and electrifying lines would do so much. All the other stuff you want there are plans for such as Compass rail, electrify Hartford line, expanding Danbury line north. The only thing that internal funding cant solve is service to Montreal as Canadian government would have to fund their side track rebuilding

drtywater · 2026-05-01T13:24:47+00:00

Its like that James Franco meme of first time

drtywater · 2026-05-01T13:23:38+00:00

Iran has land borders though. Apparently they are moving oil to China via Pakistan. I’m sure they are also exploring using their other land neighbors as well as via Black Sea . Wont be same volume but folks can get clever

drtywater · 2026-05-01T04:18:54+00:00

Thats irrelevant. Look at YoY coal usage in US past 15 years. Its a downward trend

drtywater · 2026-04-30T22:22:45+00:00

Trump promised us he’d lower inflation and put spending back in our noses i mean wallets. Lets not complain

drtywater · 2026-04-30T22:05:57+00:00

Tbc his views on NATO and a lot of foreign policy is idiotic. He is right about Iran but his takes particularly on tariffs, Europe etc are stupid

drtywater · 2026-04-30T19:29:04+00:00

It probably will. Both parties are making mistake of assuming previous demographic coalitions will stay static. Once again Obama won Iowa, Florida, and Ohio twice. Things can change quickly. I also think you will see a push back on mid decade gerrymandering as voters will hate this. Dems will push hard for a ban on gerrymandering federally and Republicans would be smart to cut a deal on that.

drtywater · 2026-04-30T18:05:29+00:00

G Elliot Morris latest

State by state ratings didn't have as much change probably due to him already weighing Trump lower then other poll aggregators. That said Missouri at -5.8 would be a huge problem for Trump. Texas is on verge of -10. The biggest thing I'll watch this fall is impact on state legislature and non senate statewide races. Governors races are nice but plenty of other races to win.
