"The US isn’t the lowest-cost producer.... (it offers) the combination of price, reliability, and security that importers value. That reputation took years to build. Even discussing whether we will honor it during periods of stress risks diminishing its value." @johnarnold

Here's the problem with energy export bans... Countries that import energy prioritize sources based on price, reliability and security. The lower price, the better, obviously. But importers don't just choose on price. Reliability is whether the system can meet peak needs. Energy demand fluctuates, sometimes significantly. Winter Storm Uri was an extreme event in the US. Countries place high value on creating a system of suppliers and built infrastructure that can flex to meet those events. Security is broader. It asks whether a country has dependable access to supplies at reasonable costs despite geopolitical, infrastructure, or economic turmoil. One way to reduce that vulnerability is to secure supplies through long-term agreements with allies, even if they are somewhat more expensive. After Russia invaded Ukraine, and also during tariff negotiations, the US raised its hand. We said: 'Buy from us. You can trust us to deliver the combination of affordability, reliability, and security that others can't.' And they did. Europe and East Asia increased their purchases. The US has become a trusted supplier of energy to many countries. At least it has been. Calls for a domestic ban on diesel exports in response to high prices threaten that. The US can't claim to offer reliable and secure supplies if we change the rules stop delivering supplies they rely on when markets become stressed. Will countries still buy our energy if we price it low? yes. But they won’t buy the same quantities or pay the same premiums for American products if that supply becomes effectively interruptible whenever domestic politics become uncomfortable. The US isn’t the lowest-cost producer. The American energy industry prospers by offering the combination of price, reliability, and security that importers value. That reputation took years to build. Even discussing whether we will honor it during periods of stress risks diminishing its value.

‘YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING’ has been rated R for language and some graphic nudity.

Tesla surpassed its competitors in sales of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in the daily reporting countries of Europe as of Saturday. 🇬🇧🇳🇴🇪🇸🇸🇪🇩🇰🇳🇱 Since the data lags by a few days, we can now see this in the chart. Following Sunday's flat sales, Tesla will clearly widen the gap with this week's sales data.

Not to mention states with no teacher’s unions exist (Arkansas, Mississippi) and have some of the worst education results in the country

"I can live with it." One of the greatest episodes in all of Star Trek, and a remarkable character study of Captain Sisko. I still think about this one even after everything else I've seen. #StarTrek #DeepSpaceNine #Sisko #CaptainSisko (#DS9 6x19)

That's basically *the entire surface of the planet* being poisonous - not just to us, but plant life too. Even if the temperature, pressure, radiation and various other human biology problems are solved, this alone will be a super-hard thing to fix: sciencedirect.com/science/ar… 2/

Standardized tests, doubted and maligned, were the hero of the NHJ story. They tried to send a warning, but were ignored.

It’s actually criminal how many of these are gone. Amazon and private equity killed so much of American life.
