president Maduro captured after US strikes

[quintessentone]

Let’s paraphrase all your bitching.  Supposedly that somehow Venezuela was about oil where it produces less than 1 million barrels a day because of neglect from a dictator reaping the remaining profits for Chinese radar systems that were ineffective where Venezuela was meeting only about 6.9 percent of China’s demand where you claim in ten years countries like China will not even need crude even though they have a growing demand for plastics and chemicals dependent on hydrocarbons.  

Ok.  Your weird.

I see you are triggered so I will no longer respond to you until you get your shit together.

Is that your opinion or do you know for sure through credible sources?

For things mention like rocket fuel and jet fuel.  To plastics and chemicals.  In ten years, what is going to have a greater power density, more economic to harvest and prudence, and provide as much hydrocarbons / hydrogen?
 

Hydrogen as an alternative fuel: A comprehensive review of challenges and opportunities in production, storage, and transportation
 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/ar...ransition.

 At present, approximately 96% of global hydrogen production relies on fossil fuels, contributing to substantial emissions, while only 4% comes from water electrolysis. Green hydrogen, produced via electrolysis with 55–80% efficiency, remains expensive at $2.28–7.39/kg, compared to grey hydrogen at $0.67–1.31/kg, which generates 8.5 kg CO₂ per kg of hydrogen production. Hydrogen's low density poses challenges for storage, while transportation risks and insufficient infrastructure create further obstacles. The lack of global standards and investment uncertainties further impede the development of a comprehensive hydrogen economy. This review evaluates hydrogen's potential as a sustainable energy carrier, providing insights into advancements and ongoing challenges in production, storage, and transportation. Key findings highlight the necessity of coordinated efforts to enhance storage technologies, lower production costs, and establish supportive policies, highlighting hydrogen's critical role in achieving a sustainable energy transition.

Maybe use nuclear to make electricity to split water to make hydrogen to make hydrocarbons to make jet fuel and plastic?  Added.  Why burn hydrocarbon fuel to make hydrogen when there is already hydrogen in hydrocarbons.  

Hydrogen is weird can be hazardous.  A rail tanker car at high pressure of liquid hydrogen per volume hold less hydrogen than ammonia.  NH4

 Storage Potential of Green Hydrogenhttps://www.researchgate.net/post/Storag...20opinion.

Green hydrogen can be stored and transported in several ways, including compressed hydrogen gas, liquid hydrogen, methanol, and ammonia. Liquid ammonia has a higher capacity for hydrogen storage by volume compared to liquid hydrogen, with a capacity of 121 kg H2/m3 for ammonia compared to 70.8 kg H2/ for liquid hydrogen. At room temperature, ammonia can be stored at a relatively low pressure (0.99 MPa), which is significantly lower than the pressure required for liquid hydrogen storage. However, ammonia has a lower energy density than hydrogen (18.6 MJ/kg compared to 142.8 MJ/kg for hydrogen gas at standard temperature and pressure) and a higher mass density (600 kg/m3 compared to 70.8 kg/m3 for liquid hydrogen), which can make it more challenging to store and transport. Methanol is another potential option for hydrogen storage, but it has a lower energy density compared to ammonia (20.1 MJ/kg), and utilization release CO2, which can be a concern from an environmental perspective. The decomposition of ammonia to release hydrogen requires a relatively large amount of energy (30.6 kJ/mol H2), while the regasification of liquid hydrogen only requires a small amount of energy (0.907 kJ/mol H2). This can make the utilization of ammonia as a hydrogen storage and transportation medium less energy efficient.

I think you posted similar things like that before.  You haven’t kept your word yet. Doesn’t make a difference, you keep posting the same thing over and over even if people don’t respond.

Also an interesting article.

I understand the fixation on the oil related issues with this strike, as a potential 'motive.'

But it seems we are unlikely to be driven simply by a resource in someone else's hands...

As it stands, for all potential futures, Venezuelans must rally behind themselves, so to speak...

They are - after all - a 'sovereign' nation (meaning "one people" under global debt.)

The structure of the government, such as it was, remains unchanged...

I'd like to understand that better...

Except our media clowns keep us ignorant in so many ways...

[ElitePlebeian]

I'm thinking the impacts will be felt within the next 10 years.

"With the rapid rise of EVs and improvements in battery technology and charging infrastructure, the foundations of oil’s specialization are beginning to erode. Unlike other fuels, such as natural gas – which faces substitutes in each of its applications – oil has long enjoyed an exclusive, irreplaceable role in transport. If that is undone, it will mark a turning point for the oil market."

Yeah, the trucking industry's shift to electric will be the move because it will save the company a lot of money.

"The Rise of Electric Trucks: Benefits and Challenges
The shift to electric trucks in the trucking industry is not just a trend but a necessity. The benefits include reduced emissions, lower operating costs, and government incentives. However, the challenges involve infrastructure costs, the need for coordinated charging strategies, and the transition period. Major companies like Walmart, J.B. Hunt, and PepsiCo are leading the charge in fleet electrification, signaling a potential turning point for a traditionally diesel-dependent industry.

USA's actions in Venezuela have lost many oil customers, is what it looks like to me.

10 years ago they said the same. I think 50 is a lot more realistic. With the current pace in western countries too much still has to change to even make a significant impact on the oil market in 10 years. Let alone in the rest of the world.

Well like I said I found it pretty obvious that it was always going to be Machado, if not as president as chancellor or territorial governor or whatever. Her policies obvious align with the State Department. The game of "oh no, she doesn't have their trust" is manoeuvring, and there's many threads in play; note that the oil companies, who were consulted before this little venture, have been drawn back and are meeting at the White House today, obviously some concessions in the form of structural alignment are going to be extracted from them, which this "uncertainty" about who and how the colony will be governed has created. It's by no means as simple as a one-angle analysis might present.

What is hilarious is that Trump, as a transactional manipulator beholden to his ego, has managed to somehow extract himself a Nobel while juggling all this agenda. Now that's America!

At least Trump does it so that at the end of it, will have a good outcome for the citizens as well as whatever government comes in that is not cooperating with corruption.

Biden/Obama/Harris would just make sure he got his ten percent, plus send some to certain democrat campaign fund and the rest can go straight into hell as far as he would be concerned. Like Afghanistan.

Really I see them as all the same. They advance the (consistent) State Department agenda in different way, as is possible. Trump can do things that Biden couldn't, and Obama did things that Trump can't. Different tools for the same job. I don't think any of them have any real sway over policy, only at most, the expression of core policy. They are epiphenomena. It's all in how you look at it, I suppose. You're view is valid too, I imagine.

Well Trump has a decent and honorable family which the left despises. To them Trump's family is horrible, when they are all good people. (In fact that is what infuriates them the most).  Trump can do things that puts Americans first which Biden and Obama refused to do, except when they were giving away the treasury knowing it would entice their type of filth to vote for them.

Trump wouldn't do the authoritarian things that Biden and Obama did, like experimental vaccines' being made mandatory with dystopian rules attached. (Until the supreme court acted and nullified it) After it was too late for many though.
All of these people have absolute sway over policy if they stand up for it and refuse to do evil.  To the left, everything that was once considered good for everyone else, is now very bad. Left to their own devices, the left will bring America into a new age of filth and depravity which all of hell will be applauding.
