Daimler's Mercedes-Benz Killing Its Hydrogen Fuel Cell Program; Are EVs Next? -- April 26, 2020

Link here. Electrek, April 23, 2020 --
After 30 Years Of Trying, Mercedes-Benz Ends Hydrogen Car Development Because It’s Too Costly.
Daimler’s Mercedes-Benz is killing its program to develop passenger cars powered by hydrogen fuel cells.
The company has been working on fuel-cell vehicles for more than 30 years — chasing the dream of a zero-emissions car that has a long driving range, three-minute fill-ups, and emits only water vapor. In the end, the company conceded that building hydrogen cars was too costly, about double the expense of an equivalent battery-electric vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz will wind down production of GLC F-Cell, its only current fuel-cell model. The GLC-F-Cell was developed in a 2013 collaboration with Ford and Nissan.
The idea of the collaboration was to kickstart the production of fuel-cell cars and hydrogen infrastructure. Mercedes-Benz was the only carmaker of the three partners to produce a vehicle in the program.
Mercedes-Benz only made a few hundred examples of the GLC F-Cell because manufacturing costs for the model were so high. The car was used for business promotions but was never offered for sale to the public.
A huge "thanks" to a reader for sending this my way. 

After 30 years of trying, Mercedes-Benz ends hydrogen car development because it’s too costly. This is what the company is saying:
"Fuel cells work great. It's just a cost issue, and it's all about scaling. We need volume."
Using that logic ... "it's just a cost issue, and it's all about scaling. We need volume...." their EV program would be next to be killed.

I think automobile manufacturers have been working with EVs since the 1870's.

What's Wrong With This Picture? -- April 26, 2020

COVID-19 deaths:
Population:
  • Tokyo: 9.3 million
  • NYC: 8.4 million
Lock down:
  • Tokyo: no
  • NYC: yes
Ratio, NYC-to-Tokyo COVID-19 deaths: 12,067 : 100 = 121x greater in NYC compared to Tokyo.

Must be a ventilator shortage somewhere.

Following Up Production Data For Two Whiting DUCs -- April 26, 2020

One of the problems with DUCs for me is that I lose track of their outcomes.

Here's another example.

This well was reported as a DUC back in October, 2018:
  • 33523, 2,095, Whiting, Long 44-10HU,Truax, t9/19; cum --; 38 stages; 7.8 million lbs;
