I Love The Cynicism -- September 16, 2021
I haven't followed it that closely so I am probably wrong, but it certainly seems like CVX is backpedaling a bit after getting feedback from their shareholders. I'm probably wrong, but first reports suggested CVX was going to diversity into "green" energy. I think they still are but it may be in a different way than previously rumored.
If I recall correctly, in the Jim Cramer interview, the CVX/CEO said the company would spend $10 billion over several years on non-fossil fuel initiatives. Cramer suggested that the $10 billion was a very, very small percent of the company's overall financial picture. Again, I don't know. Just rambling.
Literally Impossible To Make This Stuff Up -- September 16, 2021
If you own a Chevy Bolt, you need to find a parking spot that's at least fifty feet away from the nearest car. Why?
To reduce the chances of a fire from your car's spontaneous combustion spreading to other cars.
General Motors Co. urged some owners of Chevrolet Bolt electric cars to park and store the vehicles at least 50 feet away from other cars to reduce the risk that a spontaneous fire could spread.
The Detroit automaker has recalled all of the roughly 142,000 Bolts sold since 2016 because the battery can catch on fire. GM has taken a $1.8 billion charge so far for the cost of the recall and has been buying cars back from some disgruntled owners. The company expects to recoup much of the cost from battery supplier LG Corp.
The new advice is likely to rankle owners who are already limiting their use of the Bolt to avoid overheating the battery and risking a fire. The parking guidance — recommending a distance of 50 feet from other parked cars — is especially difficult for owners in urban areas.
Don't all folks park their brand new shiny cars fifty feet away from other cars to avoid that first scratch?
I guess GM got tired of paying liability claims on Porsches and Mercedes vehicles that were sitting next to a Bolt.
I think it would be fun to buy a Bolt simply to park it near a Lamborghini. LOL.
Ivermectin -- September 16, 2021
Again, I have no dog in this fight. I just find it incredibly interesting. It's as if sub-Saharan Africa and India are doing quite well with regard to Covid-19 and there seems to be a common thread.
I don't know. I don't go looking for this stuff. This was sent to me by a long term reader with a history of sending me credible links. Here's another one: Ivermectin obliterates 97% of Delhi cases. Written by a physician, this article is in the Desert Review. I assume this is from the Imperial Valley in southern California.
Most interesting "thing" about this article. It was written before ivermectin was much of "a thing." It was written back on June 1, 2021, with an update six days later.
