U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve hits lowest level since 1983 as oil prices surge
So a question for all the fine intellectuals here. Hypothetically if this country still exists in 2.5 years and the next president wants out of this war, what does everyone predict that looks like? Do we get to.. I mean, have to, nuke Israel? But really are we fucked or do you think any half reasonable potus who got elected specifically pledging to end the war, what does that look like. Just break off from Israel and let everyone in the region have their way with them? Will the Strait of Iran be open so we can have better fuel prices again?

We’re letting politics stunt our innovation so we can stay stuck on fossil fuels.

Fauci's Diary
So, why no admit you were in on the whole covid thing or not? I didn't follow much of anything either did my friends, but when it came to loosing my job I tried to get a doctor's excuse, but ultimately got 1 shot. Tell your story

Drowning in stupidity seems to be contagious amongst the magats. So everyone was in on it? Why were you left out? That dumbass still believes it...the best was all the professional athletes that were dying from it and he could never even find one. Retardation indeed.

No worries it will be better in 2 weeks and gas will be cheap again.

So instead of feeding people, the US government under the Trump administration owns businesses in semi conductors, lithium production, military arms procurement, rare earth, and quantum computing. But that’s not socialism.

I know… Just read the last paragraph of Krom’s article…. Cerium…. It’s not used for what his article is claims. Used in glass, diesel additives and catalytic converters. That black Pile in his article is a result of the western world needing glass, diesel and catalytic converters…..

Guess I shouldn't be surprised that you are too stupid and clueless to know about the genocide committed by in Mongolia by china... It happened before they started poisoning the millions that live around the "lake" in that story, and all the others like it.- China is kicking America and Europe’s ass on EV’s, lithium batteries, and nuclear power.
1 Glass polishing and precision polishing (a core use)The single most recognizable industrial use of cerium is glass polishing, where ceria is used as a polishing agent to produce high-quality finishes on: • optical glass (lenses and precision optics) • architectural and automotive glass • specialty glass products that need tight surface tolerances Ceria also shows up in chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) and related planarization steps used for advanced manufacturing, where ceria slurries can polish silica-based surfaces effectively. 2 Automotive catalytic converters (ceria as an oxygen buffer)Cerium is heavily associated with automotive catalytic converters, where ceria is used because it can store and release oxygen via reversible cerium redox chemistry. That oxygen "buffering" helps catalysts perform under real driving conditions when exhaust composition is changing. This matters because it is a true "industrial backbone" application. It is also one reason cerium is regularly listed among minerals tied to catalytic converters. To go deeper on where catalyst-grade material comes from and how it moves through the market, use Cerium supply chain. 3 Glass additives: decolorizing and UV controlCerium compounds are used as glass additives, not just for polishing finished glass. Two practical roles are common in the literature and industry discussion: DecolorizingCerium can help reduce unwanted tint by influencing the oxidation state of iron impurities in glass, which affects color. UV absorptionCerium-containing glass can be engineered to absorb ultraviolet light with minimal visible coloration, useful in protective and specialty glass applications. These "in-the-melt" uses are part of why the glass industry is frequently mentioned as a major end user of rare earth raw materials, including cerium-based materials. 4 Ceramics and specialty materialsCerium is also used in ceramics and related materials applications. Depending on the product, cerium compounds can support color, stability, or other functional properties. This is one of the standard end-use buckets cited for cerium alongside polishing and catalysts. For the "where does the ceramic-grade material come from" angle, see Cerium mining and processing. 5 Metallurgy: alloying, deoxidation, and desulfurizationCerium has several metallurgy-related use cases, including roles as an additive in certain alloys and as a chemical helper in melts. A well-discussed function is using cerium or ceria-related additions to help remove oxygen and sulfur from molten metal systems (and to influence inclusion behavior). This "metallurgy" category is also repeatedly listed as a practical end-use bucket for cerium in official and reference material summaries. 6 Fire-starting alloys (the famous one people recognize)Cerium's pyrophoric behavior is the reason it is associated with lighter flints, typically via cerium-rich alloy mixtures (often discussed under "mischmetal" and ferrocerium-type products). This is not necessarily the biggest demand driver compared with polishing or catalysts, but it is one of the most widely recognized everyday applications. 7 Energy and advanced chemistry (smaller, but real)Ceria shows up in a range of advanced chemical and energy material contexts, largely because it is chemically flexible and stable. Examples discussed in the technical literature include: • ceria-based catalytic chemistry beyond automotive catalysts • solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) related materials, where ceria-based materials can be used due to their ionic conduction properties- Deep state.
