Texas energy providers are sending out e-mail alerts asking consumers to cut back on electricity use for the next few days.
 
They don't have to ask me: I don't turn on the air conditioner.

Emergency Meeting Between US SecEnergy and US Refiners

Cordial.

US SecEnergy: learned a lot.

Discussions at an "impasse" but agreed to keep talking. 

Refiners, 1; Granholm, 0.

Market

As long-time readers know, I generally don't follow the market when it's down.

So, I haven't been following the market except by exception.

For example, ticker RIVN: down half a percent today, trading at $28.42.

What about F, another EV start-up? LOL: ticker F -- down 1.3%; trading at $11.33.
