    2021/06/04
    Don’t look now, but ERCOT’s summer capacity forecast isn’t too promising with peak demand projected to hit a new record of over 77,000 MW. Will ERCOT have a summer version of their winter woes?

    Identifying the root cause of Texas power problems isn’t as easy as many are led to believe, but just how many factors are contributing to situation, and why does the PUCT seem so out of sorts?

    How is it that an electric energy market that was once touted as one of the best in North America, is now being exposed as a hotbed of corruption and cronyism?

    Is green (energy) the new black (for oil demand)? | Eric Dixon Part 2 on Margin Call

    Is green (energy) the new black (for oil demand)? Gas demand may fall, but diesel demand more than offsets losses from electrification.


    Narratives are often written by those in power, but who benefits and what is the impact to oil price?

    If economic incentives are discouraged to produce traditional energy, how does this impact price and the environment?

    These topics and more explored by George P. and Eric Dixon, a senior physical and financial oil trader of nearly 20 years.

  • Food as Fuel on Margin Call

    Food as Fuel on Margin Call
    2021/02/26
    Topics:
    - Context of the electric grid problems in Texas last week is the distortive nature of renewables in the generation mix.
    - We cover the role renewables have played in the fuel supply in the Ethanol and Biodiesel industries.
    - How government subsidized renewables have created a rent seeking monster in big agriculture, who are now a permanent part of the fuel mix.
    - How renewable fuel prices have distorted market structure and led to higher than normal fuel prices which is simply passed through to the consumer.
    - How the mechanism to track renewable fuels (RINS) has been a Rube Goldberg-ian system of epic incompetence, fraud and ultimately imposed such high compliance costs on refiners that the oil industry has spent the better part of the last few years begging the EPA for waivers to avoid bankruptcy.
    - Explanation of the “Rinsanity events”
