** It's a hot market right now.

New York Times ([link removed]) (11/13/25) reports: "Just a few years ago, Ford Motor thought it had a big hit on its hands with the F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck. But as of the end of September, Congress and President Trump eliminated federal tax credits for the purchase of electric vehicles, leading to a steep drop in sales, especially for large, pricey models like the Lightning... Now, the Lightning’s future is in doubt. Ford has stopped making the truck, whose price starts at $55,000 and can rise to more than $85,000 for premium versions with added features, and it won’t say when or whether production will restart. Sales of expensive electric vehicles have stalled, and buyers are gravitating toward models like the Chevrolet Equinox and Hyundai Ioniq 5, which have starting prices of around $35,000. 'When the subsidy went away, the higher-dollar vehicles really
began to slow down,' said Tim Hovik, whose dealership, San Tan Ford in Gilbert, Ariz., once sold dozens of Lightnings a month. Like Ford, General Motors has halted production of its Hummer EV. The Michigan factory that made that model and others is supposed to restart in January, but will run only one eight-hour shift a day instead of two. G.M. is also slowing production of electric Cadillacs."

** "The Golden State’s heavy reliance on intermittent renewables such as wind and solar creates major reliability gaps when the sun sets or the wind stalls. The results are predictable: rising costs, rolling blackouts, and growing dependence on imported energy."

Climate justice or racketeering scheme?

** The Center Square ([link removed])
(11/12/25) reports: "Billions of U.S. tax dollars have been used to fund climate initiatives in foreign countries without the American people’s consent, all while government officials travel on jets to attend climate conferences where they 'give away other people's money over beef, seafood, and cocktails,' a new report says. Director of Protect the Public’s Trust Michael Chamberlain told The Center Square: 'This report details an undemocratic redistribution of American wealth in the name of something called climate justice.' Chamberlain told The Center Square that 'these [climate] agreements were never ratified and the American public was never asked permission.' 'At a moment when Bill Gates is backing off the doomsday climate rhetoric, Americans should know what's been done in their name and with their money,' Chamberlain said. Protect the Public’s Trust’s report is especially timely in light of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change’s (UNFCCC) COP30 event taking place
this week in Brazil."

Legal ethics be damned.

(11/4/25) reports: "An Oregon judge described a plaintiff lawyer’s undisclosed involvement in scientific studies as a 'gobsmacking failure' to reveal potentially biased evidence in a high-profile climate lawsuit. Chevron asked Judge Benjamin Souede to throw out expert opinions Multnomah County submitted to support its lawsuit against oil companies, saying the experts relied upon articles in Nature magazine that may have been financed by attorney Roger Worthington, who represents the county. The company cited a partial acknowledgement in one article, as well as apparent pre-publication copies of articles it found on the Worthington & Caron website. Judge Souede rejected Chevron’s request, but at a hearing last week said Worthington’s silence was 'almost a gobsmacking failure by plaintiff to do anything close to what we expect a counsel and a party to do in litigation.' 'I just want to say it clearly, it is not acceptable to submit a declaration by an expert that is based in part on a
reliance on a scientific article that plaintiff’s counsel helped to fund without pointing out to the Court that that is so,' the judge said, in comments reported by Energy in Depth."

The ultimate resource.

(11/18/25) op-ed: "Earlier this year, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said that it expected crude oil output from Gulf of Mexico fields to rise from the current 1.8 million barrels daily to 2.4 million barrels daily as early as 2027... These technological advancements concern many aspects of offshore drilling, but one has been called a breakthrough: drilling in ultra-high pressure. Last year, Reuters reported that new drilling tech was being deployed by Big Oil, making it possible to drill under pressure of up to 20,000 pounds per square inch. Analysts believed at the time this technology could add some 5 billion barrels to recoverable oil reserves. Now, the Financial Times is reporting that Big Oil is deploying the ultra-high pressure drilling tech in the Gulf of Mexico, tapping reserves previously inaccessible. Chevron and TotalEnergies are doing it with the Anchor project, the report noted, and Shell and BP are going to start using similar tech at new fields in a couple of
years. It appears that from the perspective of offshore oil producers the outlook for demand is quite bright."
