As we worry about supply chains- computer chips, fuel supplies, even baby formula, we seem to have forgotten about the real basic problem.

Let’s Pump More Oil to Punish Russia.
Some 22 days ago, I agitated that President Biden and Mitch McConnell (as the titular leaders of their respective parties) lean on (at least) the smaller oil producers in the South and the Midwest to up their production. Not just to counteract the removal of Russian Oil from the market place , but because, as happened in the past, as our oil production increases, the price per barrel drops precipitously.
Off they go- but we hope not!
So, besides invading Ukraine, Russia has unleashed its cadre of criminals to wreak havoc using cyber techniques.
Stop Putin Now!
Putin has decided to flaunt the current world rules and invade Ukraine. After all, the world did little (almost nothing?) when he stole Crimea, and even less when he had his cronies claim semi-autonomy for the Eastern provinces of the Ukraine.
Grid-lock?
Well, since we spoke about wind farms yesterday, it’s appropriate that we consider what is going on with our electric grid system.
Whoosh!
So, it seems that there will be another set of offshore wind turbines. Not just the ones in New England and off the coast of Baltimore (MD).
All talk and no action?
Sometimes, you just have to be amazed at the inanity of things our government – and private associations- do. No, I’m not talking about the 6th of January or TheDonald. (Although, those two certainly do eclipse this stupidity.)
We interrupt this queue
Yes. Another time I must interrupt my queue.
I have been warning anyone who will listen about this impending doom problem. And, damn it- I hate to be a Chicken Little.
Sparrows Point Rebirth?
We helped design the water treatment systems for many plants and manufacturers over the years. Not just across the US, but around the world. Producing water that was never to be discharged from the facility yet would still met the needs of the process.
A better battery?
You do realize that despite all the hoopla, only 2% of all new car sales are for electric vehicles. And, we also buy tons of used vehicles (not just new ones) each and every year.
