Happy 144th Birthday GM! #Oil_History $GM
1-3 GM was established on Sep 16, 1908. It started with Buick. Later it acquired Oldsmobile, Cadillac & more than 25 car companies. There are many turns and twists in GM history. I will mention two: Image
2-3 William C. Durant established GM. After buying several auto manufacturers, he offered to buy FORD for $8 million. Henry Ford agreed on one condition: the payment has to be in GOLD! Banks refused to finance Durant. He lost the deal & was fired by the GM board
3-3 He started Chevrolet Motor Company with Louis Chevrolet, and bought GM stocks until he is back in control! Later he was fired by the board.. again! Started a new car company that went bankrupt. At old age, he was poor and died poor. Image
Typo: 114 not 144

1-3 تأسست شركة جي إم للسيارات منذ 144 عاما. وتطورت مع الزمن بعد شرائها العشرات من شركات السيارات. حاول مؤسسها وليام دورانت شراء شركة فورد ب8 ملايين دولار، ووافق هنري فورد ولكن طلب أن تكون ذهبا. ولما لم يتمكن دورانت من توفير الذهب، طرده مجلس إدارة جي إم من الشركة.
2-3 أسس شركة شفروليه التي قامت بشراء غالبية أسهم جي أم، وسيطر من جديد على الشركة التي أنشأها. ماركات بيويك وشفروليه وكاديلاك وبونتياك كانت كلها شركات مستقلة جمعتها جي إم. بعد سنوات طرده مجلس الإدارة مرة أخرى. فأسس شركة سيارات جديدة أفلست بسبب الكساد العظيم.
3-3 عاش بقية حياته فقيرا، ومات فقيرا.

I am becoming more conspiratorial than ever! 🤣

By the time Iraq started diverting shipments to Europe from Basra port, the port is closed because of an oil spill that will take an unknown time to clean!
Just a coincidence, just like all the others that export oil and gas to EU!

Short thread: 💥
1-4 We built buildings without windows that can open to "conserve energy", we ended up with mold that made people sick!
We switched to LED lights to "conserve energy" but

Scientists warned years ago that LED lights could be doing more harm than good: 👇👇👇👇
2-4 "LEDs or light-emitting diodes consist of a semiconductor chip positioned on a reflective surface; when electricity runs through the semiconductor, light is produced."
3-4 From the Gaudian today talking about a new study confirming earlier studies: While LED lighting is more energy-efficient & costs less to run, increased blue light radiation associated with it is causing “substantial biological impacts” across Europe.

🔥Thread on the costs of Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPR)! (simplified calculations)
1- In 3 years, between the start of 1979 & the end of 1981, 168 mb of crude oil were added to the SPR at an average cost of about $32/b. That is about $125/b in Today's money!

#Oil #OOTT #SPR
2- The fixed cost incurred by the taxpayer to prepare the caverns was around $4 billion. That translates to about $6/b assuming 650 mb existed from day one in 1977 (of course that was not the case, but I am trying to use the low numbers). $6 in 1977 equals about $29.40/b today!
3- So far, the cost is $125 +$29.40 = 154.40/b
The yearly SPR budget in 2019 was about $235 million. That translates to about 40 cents per barrel per year in today's money. The cost for 42 years is about $16.80/b

Now the cost is $154.40 + $16.80= $171.20!

The Biden administration and the EU want to put a cap on the price of imported Russian oil.
