    Go chew on your tinfoil hat!

    They publish this every July. An oil company is the only entity that really is in a position to make a decent estimate.

    Not really. DeBeers is basically a monopoly and is able to manipulate prices. BP doesn't have much incentive to publish incomplete data. This is basically so everyone can wrap their head around what's known. And the 53 year number is really just to put reserve numbers in some sort of context.

    Covering the energy industry from the finance side, the major integrated oil companies take renewables more seriously than people give them credit for. They really aren't anti-renewables as many think either. BP's slogan used to be "Beyond Petroleum" because they invested rather heavily in renewables at least

    Depends on their consumption and economic growth assumptions.

    Yeah, we don't have them down here. A friend said she went to Wawa and I was like wa what? It reminds me of the teacher in Charlie Brown.

    Dunno. I just dislike them.

    I can't read the name Wawa without laughing.

    Ohio and Mississippi are still fair game.

    Tire competition would be great. Out of curiosity, do you know why Michelin stipulated 18" in particular? I'm guessing there's an engineering reason behind it but no idea what it could be. 19" or 20" seem too big as there'd be hardly any sidewall unless tires were even bigger.

    I like them.

    Whaaaaat. That would be wild.

    True. I'm just kidding around.

    Idea: spinners that act as a fan to cool the brakes since they'd keep some momentum as the cars slow into corners.

    TSLA share price volatility is always the lulz.

    all these blue lines are natural gas pipelines.

    Gotcha. I wonder what assumptions they were using for prices given that's the spread needed.

    Anyone know what this guy's fund's name is I'm curious how big his stake is and half asleep and googling this guy on my phone is a pain in the ass. As an aside, shareholder lawsuits like this are so fucking useless.

    Right, I should have qualified that it's at FEED stage. But they have to factor in forecast prices rather than current. It could be economic if diesel prices are higher than nat gas over the next 10-20+ years. That said, I'm not sure what spread between the two makes it viable. Certainly nat gas under $3 would make
