Over the past 20 years, the US mainland has typically accounted for less than 10% of Puerto Rico's fuel imports, and never more than 15%. Annualizing the volumes shipped under the Jones Act waiver alone would have resulted in the US mainland accounting for 40% in 2025.

The Blue Cross/Blue Shield Association says that AI is already driving *up* healthcare costs, as hospitals use the technology to find instances where they can bill more for the same level of care. bcbs.com/about-us/associatio…

If you ban diesel exports, this is what happens: 1) Without the overseas market, diesel inventories start to accumulate domestically. This temporarily puts downward pressure on wholesale prices in the US, likely more so in the Gulf Coast than anywhere else. HOWEVER

while i appreciate that—especially through Hormuz crisis—crude and crack spreads have generally moved together, it's really important that they don't NEED to and that crude and diesel are different commodities—could easily imagine a world with $60 crude and $100 diesel cracks

We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics. The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra. The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.

The Public Utility Commission of Texas approved two Oncor applications for the state’s first 765-kV lines, ignoring lawmakers and landowners’ calls to delay or deny the permits in the process. The PUC agreed the $3.95 billion projects through the Permian Basin are needed but tweaked the projects’ certificates of convenience and necessity to encourage Oncor to work with the parties involved on possible route deviations. The projects will result in a single-circuit, 429-mile line running from southwest Fort Worth to east of El Paso and are expected to be energized by 2029. ow.ly/f0kU50ZHhBY

NOT the movie CARRY-ON… this was REAL. When some fracking equipment set off an alarm at OKC Airport, and multiple detonators were found buried inside pipes, yeah… our team was paying VERY close attention.

Sam Altman admits he was wrong on AI's timeline and says society and the economy will adapt more slowly "I thought when we got to GPT-4, which was back in 2023, that very quickly after that there was going to be much more disruption, software businesses up for grabs right away, than it turned out to be." "I think I was wrong about a few things, but one in terms of the speed: the economy just has so much inertia." "People keep doing the same things, buying from the same company, wanting to use their tools the same way. I think this is actually a positive in many ways, and it's going to make this big transition go smoother and slower. I'm grateful for it." "But it means we've all been too ambitious on timelines. Even with this incredible technology, society and the economy will adapt more slowly."

Maybe should look at that datacenter driven HVAC development now that load growth is back on the table, but y'all not happy that it's leading to Ohio and West Virginia. 😂

My default is to be pro commerce and pro local development, unless there are obvious harms. I think there can be a good affirmative reason to be pro development here, not just as a default stance. But it’s just not for the reasons the tech community likes to give (“we need to lead on AI!” “AI will find new cures” “we can’t let the Chinese win!”). Even tho data centers don’t create many jobs…if they fund investments, especially in new energy infra, that can be a driver of broader-based growth in local economies
