Today marks 222 days until the return of the U.S. Open to Pinehurst No. 2.
Let's some fun with it, because we like to say it's somebody's U.S. Open here every day. So, repost this for a chance for you and a guest - the 2 of you - to play No. 2.
This is Jim Nantz strolling Pebble Beach (where he lives) in the morning and providing what appears to be a random stranger with the golf experience of a lifetime…

Eliminating fossil fuels before you have a suitable replacement doesn’t mean renewables to grow faster.
It just means the world has less energy.
And in a world with less energy, the rich get it and the poor are left in the dark.
“Just stop oil” is a cruel movement.
The @RyderCup Wager is back!
@RyderCupEurope & @RyderCupUSA • St Andrews & Pinehurst • The Old Course & No. 2
If Team Europe wins, Pinehurst will fly the Old Course flag on the 18th of No. 2 on Monday. If Team USA wins, the No. 2 flag will fly on the 18th in St Andrews.
Let's go.
Dear Hawaiians and other Biden voters,
Just remember that he can’t give Ukraine enough money. Every other month, he’s petitioning Congress to give them another couple billion dollars.
But he gave you $700, each.
This is exactly what you mean to him as a citizen of this country.
$700.
Remember this in 2024.
BREAKING: The United States has just sent another $200 million in aid to Ukraine.
$200 million to Ukraine today and Maui doesn't even get a comment.
As American citizens in Lahaina, Maui suffer from the loss of life and property President Joe Biden has just sent $200M worth of artillery rounds, air defense munitions and other weapons to Ukraine.
Nearly 100 people have been confirmed dead in the Maui fires, over 2000 structures have been destroyed and thousands have been displaced.
I hope Biden had a great vacation.
“Nothing shady is going on with Hunter Biden and his overseas business.”
“Hunter’s laptop is Russian disinformation.”
“Okay, the laptop is real but it doesn’t prove anything.”
“There is no proof who ‘the Big Guy’ is.”
“Okay, the Big Guy is Joe Biden but he still didn’t do anything wrong.”
“Joe Biden never got paid for Hunter’s overseas business dealings.”
“Okay, Hunter Biden said Joe got paid but there is no proof.”
“Joe Biden had no knowledge of his son’s business dealings.”
“Okay, Joe knew about the dealings but he didn’t partake in them.”
“Okay, Joe took business calls with Hunter but they were just talking about the weather!”

John Kerry claims that he didn't own a private jet...
Until he was faced with evidence that he owned a private jet...
And then he claimed it was just his wife's private jet...
The climate grift is strong with this one.
This is so surreal. The socialist Spanish minister uses a private jet to attend a climate conference. 100 metres before the venue she gets out off the limo and takes a bicycle. The security cars follow her.
Norway is a truly electrified country, but they still consume a ton of oil. 🧐
- 98% of their electricity is generated by renewables
- Over 90% of new car sales are now EVS
- Most heat pumps per capita
Here was their oil consumption in 2021 in barrels/person/day :
Norway: 0.037
United States: 0.056
Why is Norway's oil demand still significant?
As gasoline only accounts for 25% of oil consumption, electric vehicles do not have a significant impact on oil demand immediately.
in 2021, UBS said that while gasoline demand was down 34% over ten years in Norway, diesel was up 7%.
They also said that LPG/Ethane increased by 46% over the decade and Gasoil increased by 20%.
Oil plays a critical part in industrial applications and producing petrochemical feedstocks to make plastics, rubber, chemicals, and other products.
What does the future of energy look like?
Oil and Gas still plays a significant role in the world today and will for the foreseeable future.
Renewables will continue to take marketshare in power generation and will pair nicely with electric vehicles in residential applications.
At some point, this will lead to peak demand for gasoline, however total demand for oil will continue to increase over the next couple of decades.
As society discovers new technological innovations, we will continue to increase our energy demand to propel society forward.
Things like artificial intelligence, bitcoin mining, space exploration etc. will require a lot of energy and this is a good thing!
MOAR POWER. 🤘
