text: Guys always try to forward you all the best information I get. It looks like we're in for a rough summer. The Department of energy internally is releasing a memo stating that 22% of all coal fire plants will be shut down by July. Further the plants but haven't completed the updates by January 1st will be shut down. The information from the energy industry contacts I have which include my brother and wife, state that there is not enough material in the country or in the world to do the updates. Further as we all know we're having problems with gasoline shortages and diesel shortages coming up. The two providers of the additives for 5W40 oil that runs diesel engines have stated that due to federal requirements of the refineries they will not be able to produce 5W40 diesel engine oil for the next year. Combined with the shortages estimating will be out of diesel in 2 months and petroleum in the next 4 to 6, we got problems. Brownouts are on our future, the Department of energy is trying to figure out a way to take the south nuclear power plant and transmission line that energy up north. That won't work, the resistance of the transmission lines create over that vast of a distance will degrade the power and the signal. I spoke with my brother about it earlier and Duke has already been asked to figure out a way to run energy up to DC, they don't have a way to do it. I don't know where we're at with all this. I also got told, this information is coming from a senator, that national guard groups are going to be called up over the summer North Carolina has only been asked to provide at most one due to the need to secure Wilmington and RTP. Same for Virginia with the base in Norfolk. It will certainly be interesting coming up
