Smoke and mirrors:
- that new Texas refinery;
- the Iran war;
- ethanol / E15 debate.
- US running out of oil; need to tap into the SPR that Biden drained; now this:
There's so much oil and refined products sloshing around in tankers (along the coast; international waters); in pipelines; in automobiles, etc., etc. There's no shortage, no need to tap into the SPR.
Second week of a four- to six-week war.
Except for all those missiles, drones, and now mines being placed in the Strait of Hormuz by the completely destroyed Iranian navy. And Israel is now telling its neighbors to the north to evacuate because the nation with no more targets to hit is now beginning a new onslaught on Israel (and apparently its neighbor to the north).
It gets tedious. Me? Playing the long game and going biking, although it's freezing out there right now. Hyperbole.
