Notes From All Over, Part 2 -- October 4, 2019

AMLO cleans house: from Bloomberg -- that's about all you have to know -- "Aim-Low" replaced ten executives at the Pemex division that sets and monitors prices.

Oklahoma pipeline: another JV in the oil sector--

• Holly Energy Partners LP
• Plains All American Pipeline 
• 50/50
• 160,000 bopd, crude oil
• Cushing crude oil hub to the Tulsa refining complex (HollyFrontier Corp)
• about 60 miles?
• $130 million; includes the existing JV Terminal contributed by Plains (valued at $40 million)

The next grand minimum: will the Thames freeze again? The reason I'm posting this -- it does a nice job of reminding us of the various solar cycles, the chronology, brief history. Link here.

• Dalton Minimum (1790 - 1830) -- solar cycles 5 and 6
• coincided with the Little Ice Age that disrupted the entire northern hemisphere
• it was during this time that the Thames froze and agriculture in Britain and elsewhere came to a standstill
• Cycles 25 and 26 will display much lower solar activity than the solar cycles of the Little Ice Age
• NASA suggests: expect a potential period of cooling
• solar cycle 25: 
• will start in the year 2021 (January)
• will last until 2031 (February)
• solar cycle 26:
• March, 2031, to February, 2041 
• I was never taught "solar cycles" in school. I wonder if they teach it in Sweden? If so, Greta must have missed that day.

Nobel Peace Prize: speaking of Greta -- 100% sure she gets the Nobel Peace Prize. Well-played. Will be beatified by the Pope in 2119.
