There are so many story lines here, I simply don't have time.

When Volvo announced that it would offer the EX30 electric SUV for just $34,950, it sounded too good to be true. It was, but not for any reason Volvo could have foreseen.

In between announcing the compelling price for the Volvo EX30 and today, the U.S. has imposed two heavy tariffs on imported vehicles. The first was a 100% tariff on made-in-China EVs, which scrapped the original plan to sell China-built EX30s here. Then the company spent a bunch of money ramping up production in Belgium to satisfy the U.S. market and a China-wary Europe, only for American tariffs to derail things once again.

The new 25% blanket tariff on imported vehicles means that the EX30 will already be getting more expensive. If Trump increases tariffs on EU goods to 50%, as he threatened today, the economics will become unworkable, Volvo's CEO said. And he isn't mincing words.

Bringing Belgian-built EX30s to the U.S. would "of course be almost impossible," Volvo boss Hakan Samuelsson told Reuters. He added that the tariff costs will have to be passed on to consumers, as they almost always are.

Auto companies don't have 25% margins—6% tends to be considered "good" in this business—and they certainly aren't clearing 50% in profit. So they'll either stop importing cars—reducing competition and therefore driving up prices—or raise prices themselves.

"Massive Oil And Gas Reserves" In Southwest Wyoming -- Another "Bakken"? -- May 26, 2025

Locator: 48687B.

Link here.

From the link:

Based partly on research from the University of Wyoming, the federal Department of the Interior revealed the Mowry Shale holds 473 million barrels of oil and 27 trillion cubic feet of natural gas across southwestern Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. 

The Mowry and the Powder River Basin are tracked here.

To that in perspective, from the blog, February 3, 2016:

Wow, I hate dealing with natural gas. I can't get my hands around "trillions" of anything. Here we go again, another mother lode of natural gas estimated at "10,000 trillion cubic feet." To put that in perspective, the Marcellus is huge. Huge. And it's estimated to have 480 trillion cubic feet, so 10,000 trillion cubic feet seems a bit noteworthy. From an earlier post:

Disclaimer: I often make simple arithmetic errors. Numbers rounded. Natural gas reserves according to BP/wiki, 2013 - 2014 (US estimate as of December 2013). Top five countries:
  • Russia: 6,000 trillion cubic feet
  • Iran: 1,000 trillion cubic feet
  • Qatar: 900 trillion cubic feet
  • Turkmenistan: 600 trillion cubic feet
  • US: 350 trillion cubic feet
  • #11: Australia: 152 trillion cubic feet (as of January, 2014). (See this post.)
Now, let's go back and re-run the numbers that were posted earlier:
  • October 18, 2017: USGS survey -- 300 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, up from roughly 70 trillion cubic feet in its last survey in 2010.
  • Bakken/Three Forks, USGS estimate: 7 trillion cubic feet
  • Qatar: 800 trillion cubic feet, wiki, conversion

Bottom line: this might be a big story for Wyoming and, maybe even the western United States, but overall, it's a pretty small footnote.
