I ran out of gas and didn’t have a Ration Card to get more than a gallon at a time. The amount of oil leaving emergency stockpiles and going to other countries requires distinguishing between Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) emergency releases and commercial oil exports. 1. How Much Emergency Oil Is Leaving the SPR? Emergency… Continue reading Oil Supply is getting Low

The Trump Plan
The concept of America “running out” of oil requires distinguishing between the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR)—the government-owned emergency storage tanks—and overall U.S. oil production. 1. The Strategy: SPR vs. Domestic Production The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) The U.S. government maintains underground emergency salt caverns in Texas and Louisiana holding roughly 300 to 400 million barrels.… Continue reading The Trump Plan
Human Deport Depletion vs Gasoline Rationing
The Human Cost of U.S. Immigration Detention Policy The conditions inside federal immigration detention centers and border processing facilities have generated sharp, ongoing debate among human rights organizations, legal advocates, and correctional professionals. Reports documenting overcrowding, cold temperatures, and limited access to basic amenities in short-term holding facilities—often referred to historically as hieleras (“freezers”)—have raised… Continue reading Human Deport Depletion vs Gasoline Rationing
Analysis of U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve Dynamics: Historical Causes of Inventory Depletion and Structural Replenishment Frameworks
Analysis of U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve Dynamics: Historical Causes of Inventory Depletion and Structural Replenishment Frameworks Executive Summary The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR)—the world’s largest emergency stockpile of government-owned crude oil—stands near multi-decade lows of approximately 305 to 311 million barrels. This volume represents roughly 37 to 40 days of U.S. net crude import… Continue reading Analysis of U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve Dynamics: Historical Causes of Inventory Depletion and Structural Replenishment Frameworks
Water gonna be Stolen by AI Power drought…
The deployment of a 2.67-gigawatt natural gas plant—such as the one proposed in Project Kilby—introduces significant water-related challenges, specifically when situated in the Permian Basin, a region characterized by chronic water scarcity and intense industrial competition. The Power-Water Nexus in a Drought-Prone Region Natural gas power plants are inherently water-intensive. They rely on large volumes… Continue reading Water gonna be Stolen by AI Power drought…
Texans don’t have a Clue at what’s Coming?
To understand how much 438,000 megawatts (MW) would cost, we have to look at the numbers through two different lenses: the massive infrastructure bill required just to connect that much capacity to the grid, and the staggering hourly/annual utility bill it would generate if those systems actually ran at full throttle. Because megawatts measure capacity… Continue reading Texans don’t have a Clue at what’s Coming?
Texans don’t have a Clue at what’s Coming?
Act I: The Great Texan Grid Lock The late afternoon sun over West Texas didn’t just shine; it pressurized the air, turning the vast expanses of Pecos and Ellis counties into a shimmering, heat-baked anvil. For decades, this land belonged to oil derricks, cattle, and the unforgiving horizon. But by the summer of 2026, a… Continue reading Texans don’t have a Clue at what’s Coming?
Make it Work
To make a motor run purely on the air it sucks in, we have to look at the laws of thermodynamics. Ambient air on its own doesn’t contain usable chemical energy like gasoline or jet fuel. To extract mechanical work from air without burning fuel inside it, the engine must operate on an open-cycle thermodynamic… Continue reading Make it Work
TEXAS doesn’t need or want Venezuelan H2S Crude Oil
Heavy in H2S is not a funny subject. One breath and YOU DIE! America does not want or need Venezuela H2S Crude. Tell the Oil Companies to stay away from VENEZUELA Crude. We don’t need it. The Strategic and Operational Liability of Venezuelan Heavy Sour Crude For decades, the global energy market has relied on… Continue reading TEXAS doesn’t need or want Venezuelan H2S Crude Oil
