Wells Coming Off Confidential List -- Closing Out The Third Quarter, 2024

Presidential politics: the future of Detroit and the EV story. A WSJ article. Finally, some transparency. LOL. Means nothing until it means something. But wow, EVs: one step forward, three or four steps back. How's that federal EV charging infrastructure initiative working out. The Washington Post, March 29, 2024:

From the linked article (if anyone really cares):

But now, more than two years after Congress allocated $7.5 billion to help build out those stations, only 7 EV charging stations are operational across four states. And as the Biden administration rolls out its new rules for emissions from cars and trucks — which will require a lot more electric cars and hybrids on the road — the sluggish build-out could slow the transition to electric cars.

Meanwhile, just last month:

RBN Energy  Longhorn pipeline's flexibility has made it a critical conduit for Permian crude.

The great Texas philosopher Matthew McConaughey once said, “I don’t want to just revolve. I want to evolve.” Few pieces of crude oil infrastructure embody that spirit of adaptation quite like ONEOK’s Longhorn Pipeline. Starting out as a Houston-bound conduit for Permian crude, Longhorn later reversed its flow and started moving refined products, then — at just the right time, in the early days of the Permian’s Shale Era rebirth — flipped back to eastbound crude service. In today’s RBN blog, we’ll detail the pipeline’s evolution and its critical role in moving Permian oil to the Gulf Coast market.
