The quiet war on energy...you wonder why they won't increase production when any move to do so is met with walls?...

Biden Admin stalls natural gas pipeline at the behest of environmental activists

The Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) recommended that the USACE rescind the permit after two environmental groups, the Center for Biological Diversity and Kentucky Resources Council, threatened to file a lawsuit over the project. The groups sent a 60-day notice of intent (NOI) to sue for alleged violations of the ESA to the Department of the Interior, FWS and USACE on Feb. 28.

The two environmental groups argued that pipeline construction would disturb Indiana bats, gray bats and northern long-eared bats which they said live in underground caves along the proposed route. The FWS has classified Indiana and gray bats as endangered for decades and recently proposed to also list the northern long-eared bat as endangered.

?Kentucky?s endangered bats can?t wait any longer for protection from habitat destruction, so this is an important step,? Perrin de Jong, a staff attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity, said in a statement.

What about the possible risks and environmental impact of "more drilling"?

Do you want "more spilling" too?

Risk worth taking and if anyone on earth will drill safely it?s gonna be us. 
 
The cost of cleanup and environmental damage of recent oil spills off the Cali coast does not convince me that it's worth it.

Just switch to renewable energy. :)
 
What spills?  Drill, drill, drill.  You think Saudi, Nigeria, Russian, Venezuelan or Mexicans are drilling cleaner?  The world needs cheap, plentiful energy?not unicorns and rainbows.

We've been drilling for decades.  Technology has only improved over time, and spills are exceedingly rare, even with decades old technology.
 
There is a hypothesis that majority of oil is abiotic, which means we could never run out. And we are in a global cooling trend if we plot the global temp in million year scale, so more CO2 the better.

California runs on 100% clean energy for the first time, with solar dominating

For the first time ever, California, the world?s fifth-largest economy, was powered by 100% clean energy on Saturday, April 30. That milestone was driven largely by solar power.

'Extraordinarily frustrated': Renters can find no place to plug in electric vehicles

With nearly 1 out of 3 households living in apartments or condominiums, the goal of switching to electric vehicles to fight climate change and save on gas becomes all the more challenging.

$5,000 to install a charger
Yet some EV owners like Schubach, a home-based consultant, face a charging dilemma when they don't know where they can go to regularly plug in.

In a city as environmentally conscious as Santa Monica, California, one dedicated to pursuit of ?water self-sufficiency, zero waste, and carbon neutrality,? she figured finding a way to recharge her BMW 330e wouldn?t be much of a problem.

?I wasn?t worried about it,? said Schubach. She figured she could get a wall charger installed near her parking spot or, at the very least, find a way to run a cord to a standard wall socket.

But she soon found out there was simply no place to plug it in. The electric utility wouldn?t let her install a separate meter so she could pay for the extra juice, and it could cost upwards of $5,000 for a new wiring arrangement.

?I am extraordinarily frustrated,? she said.
'Circling like sharks' at Whole Foods
She has turned for help to a local EV advocacy group, Drive Clean Santa Monica, where co-founder Kelly Richard Olsen is all too familiar with the hassles of trying to keep an EV charged when you can?t park it in your own driveway or garage.

Olsen, too, owns an EV, a Chevrolet Bolt, lives in an apartment building and parks on the street, leaving him entirely dependent on finding charging around the city. There simply aren?t enough public chargers, he says.

?There are so many people out there with electric cars and the infrastructure has not kept up,? he said. ?People are circling like sharks for these chargers.?

At the chargers in a Whole Foods Market parking lot, he said he?ll catch stares from passing EV drivers hoping to pounce as soon as he?s ready to leave. A nearby park is another option, but sometimes a city van will block the charger or the driver of a gas-powered car will take the spot.

Unfortunately I can see CA mandating that landlords install EV chargers in their rental units, it's not a matter of if but when.

There?s money in those hills.  My drive to the freeways pass a little food court/office building.  The street behind is lined with apartment buildings.  They put 12 paid EV rapid chargers in.    Spread them out in groups of four.
 
Thanks.  Didn?t realize CA ISO was pumping that much public data.

Trump Announces Massive Oil Purchase for Strategic Petroleum Reserve

According to Trump, the oil purchases will have numerous benefits, including "saving the American taxpayer billions and billions of dollars, helping our oil industry, and ... it puts us in a position that's very strong, and we're buying at the right price."

Biden administration launches plan to refill emergency oil reserve

New York (CNN Business)The Biden administration plans to seek bids this fall to buy 60 million barrels of crude oil as the first step in a years-long process aimed at replenishing America's emergency oil reserve, an Energy Department official told CNN.

The way you laid it out reads like it's all Trump's fault, he obviously did not buy enough hence Biden needs to buy now at increased prices

Actually, Trump topped it off at great prices and Brandon dumped that trying to force prices lower...now he is trying to fill it back up a month later at what will end up being higher prices.  Backwards economics..sell high...buy higher.
