NDIC Has Started Posting Production Data For August, 2021; CLR Reports A DUC -- October 4, 2021

"They've" been reading the blog: the road to New England -- drastic rate increases for electricity and natural gas. Link here. The article at the link was posted October 3, 2021; my story, same subject, much easier to understand, was post a couple of days earlier. ISO New England. 

New England Patriots: speaking of New England. Last night's NFL game between the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay (TB) Buccaneers / Tom Brady (TB) was the second most-watched SNF game ever. 

At a Total Audience Delivery of 28.5 million, on NBC, Peacock and various other digital platforms, the Bucs 19-17 win over the Pats in an often very wet prime time is only topped by the 30.3 million who tuned in for SNF on December 30, 2012. That Cowboys vs Washington battle for the NFC East title snared 30.3 million, to be the fifth most watched Sunday NFL game ever.

Say what! To save the world, the Norwegians are going to discourage folks from buying EVs? Say what? Norway is said to be considering imposing a luxury tax on high-end EV models. The big question is this: with all the money Norway is making selling oil off its coast why do they even need to tax anything? And isn't "high-end EV" redundant? Is there such a thing as a low-end EV, one that can be parked inside a garage?
