About That Energy Revolution -- October 23, 2021

 In land area, Indonesia is smaller than Denmark. Hold that thought. 

Countries strongly dependent upon coal, ZeroHedge:


Oil: meanwhile the stories keep coming in -- shortage of crude oil; end-of-year crude oil could see $90-Brent; $87-WTI. With WTI at $84 yesterday, I don't see a lot of difference between yesterday's price and end-of-year price as forecast by Goldman's Jeff Curie. Remember: whether or not guys like Jeff Curie are right or wrong, folks make decisions based on their estimates.

Americans on the Move

Moving company, Mayflower, data:

  • top inbound metro: Sarasota, FL (New Yorkers leaving high cost/high tax NYC)
  • top inbound states with number one listed first:
      • Idaho
      • South Carolina
      • Oregon
      • Tennessee
      • Florida
  • Top inbound metro areas:
    • Sarasota, FL
    • Wilmington, NC
    • Fort Myers-Cape Coral, FL
    • Sante Fe, NM
    • Boise, ID
  • Top reasons certain destinations selected once decision to move was made:
    • two-thirds indicated water as a top influence:
    • almost as many cited proximity to parks, green spaces, and nature trails
    • over half indicated dining out options influenced their move
  • Most interesting: the definition of "home town" is changing
    • when I was growing up, "home town" meant where I was originally from;
    • now, more and more, "home town" means where one currently lives
  • Unable to verify, but it appears Mayflower did not poll the 75,000 Haitians currently on their way to America.

    1. We lived in Summerville, north of Charleston, for several years; absolutely loved it.
