Todays space weather forecast.

Posted on July 1, 2022 by On the North River

Solar explosion projected to shoot toward Earth today, disrupt magnetic field

“A slow-moving CME [or coronal mass ejection] that left the sun on June 26th could pass close to Earth today,” read an advisory on SpaceWeather.com.

Should be just lights in the Northern Sky, or it could be disruptive of radio and satellite communications.

But ask yourself, how pissed is God at us right now?

YES!

YES, YES, YES! This!!!

Republican members of Congress have fresh sights set on the Walt Disney Company with legislation dubbed the Copyright Restoration Clause Act that seeks to level the intellectual property playing field by stripping Disney of its monopoly on copyright protection — a situation Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) says came as a result of “special favors created by establishment politicians.” Steube introduced the House version of the bill this week, after Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) introduced the bill earlier this year in the upper chamber.

Specifically, the legislation will limit new copyrights to 56 years, the length of time that was upheld for most of the last century. The bill would make the change retroactive for entertainment giants including the Walt Disney Company that had special exceptions to maintain copyrights for more than 100 years. If the bill becomes law, Disney would start losing protection on its oldest copyrights, including the original Mickey Mouse, though there would be a delayed implementation for some license holders to protect pre-existing contracts.

“This legislation will remove their special privileges and even the playing field for all entertainment companies,” Steube said of the bill. “Disney has leveraged their privileges to conduct reprehensible work with the Chinese Communist regime, force sexual indoctrination on America’s youth, and most recently, aid the murder of unborn babies.”

Just desserts.

Refineries likely not coming back online under current conditions

Posted on June 29, 2022 by On the North River

The United States currently has the lowest number of functioning refineries capable of producing gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel that we’ve seen since 2016, largely as a result of government policies. 

Since June 2019, 1.482 MMb/d of refining capacity has been rationalized in the United States and Canada. Approximately 590,000 b/d was damaged in storms or refinery incidents and is not eligible for quick restart. Another 237,000 b/d was shut to convert to renewable diesel production. Approximately 375,000 b/d may be eligible for recommissioning but likely will remain shut. The cost of recommissioning could be significant, and the timing of the recommissioning is likely too late within the current window of opportunity.

General market sentiment, our medium-term outlook included, is that the current high-margin environment will be fleeting. Recouping recommissioning costs will be difficult unless these strong margins are sustained beyond 2023. Refiners are unlikely to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in recommissioning costs for only one or two years of strong returns.

Bottom line,  the Oil and Gas industry doesn’t trust Biden, the Democrats or the Federal Bureaucracies.

The Government is seen as moving forward with a forced conversion to Electric only, but is only putting money into unreliable and expensive Green generating infrastructure.   And they’re not building enough to power the conversion to EV or home heating.

It’s them or us people, them or us.
