good news bad news
the build in inventories was 620,000 barrels. analysts were expecting a build of 1.68 million barrles. I think VET will pop tomorrow but I've been wrong on this stock more than half the time.

Are you sure about Biden "begging" Iran for cheep oil? US is now a NET EXPORTER OF OIL, beside they can, and do buy discounted oil from Canada, which they can turn around and sell at a profit.

The US consumes about 5 MMbll/d more than they produce, they are far from a net exporter. They do import Canadian oil oit west and ship some (about 200,000 bbl/d) to Canada out east, but still get oil from overseas.

After reading the EIA report today I saw no reason for the drop in WTI based there. And, it appears that VET took an exagerated excursion downwards as a result. Just another day in May's ride. I was fortunate to buy some shares. cleareye.

Well a couple of weeks ago I observed an interview with the US Deputy Energy Secretery,on CNBC. He was repetedly said that the US was now a NET ENERY EXPORTER. Also there is an article posted by CNBC in 2019, in which the US Energy Dept, claimes the in 2020 the US will be a NET Energ Exporter. There appears to be an inconstincesy on the topic. Are members of cabinet lying?

They are a net importer of oil but they export Natural gas, I'm not sure about electricity. The statement was also made in 2019, before Covid shut down 2 MMBbl/d of oil.

The US has imported electricity from Canada in the past. I do not know if this continues. .

The US imports about 60 Terawatt hours per year mostly from Canads. That would be equivalent to 150000 bpd of oil depending on efficiency ,power line losses etc.

A potential bad news for Tesla, and snake oill salesman Musk. A friend of mine (a mechanical engineer) mentioned in an email two weeks ago, that BMW is about to complete a new factory in Hungary, to manufacture all-electric vehiles of a new design It might be a good time to short Tesla shares. In terms of designing skills and quality control, Tesla is not in the same league as BMW.

The US has been a net importer of Crude for decades. The lowest imports were in May 2020 at 2 million bpd. Currently imports are above 3 million bpd. Either the Deputy Energy Secretary is full of baloney or the depsrtment that he administers (EIA) is !!

Another, probable reason for it to justify their action of stopping Keystone XL, by giving blatent misinformation. Of course it wouldn't be the first time the Dems did that.
