Fox News reports that drawdowns made to the
U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) have left
the emergency stockpile at its lowest level since 1983.
.
High market prices have reportedly delayed
efforts made to replenish the reserve, as Israel's war against Hamas could destabilize oil supplies worldwide.

High market prices have reportedly delayed
efforts made to replenish the reserve, as Israel's war against Hamas could destabilize oil supplies worldwide.
.
According to data from the Energy Information
Administration (EIA), the SPR had approximately
351.3 million barrels of oil as of September 29.
.
Fox News reports that for most
of the last decade, the emergency stockpile
has stood at over 650 million barrels.
According to an EIA estimate, the U.S. consumes
an estimated 20 million barrels of oil per day.
.
This means that the SPR would be depleted after
just 17 days if America could no longer access "new domestic production or imports," Fox News reports.
.
Fox News reports that the historical average since
1990 has seen the emergency stockpile maintain
approximately 33 days worth of oil reserves.
.
In 1975, the SPR was created under
the Energy Policy and Conservation Act following
an oil embargo by OPEC that lasted from 1973 to 1974.
America’s SPR remains the largest in
the world and stands ready to deliver
on its mission to provide refiners
and the American public relief
in the event of supply disruptions, United States Department of Energy, via Fox Business.
Initially, the SPR was intended to
have a one billion barrel capacity,
but it has never reached that level.
Fox News reports that SPR supplies are held at four
locations in salt caverns located thousands of feet
below ground to prevent leaking oil from seeping out.

Reports suggest Russia plans to arm Yemen's Houthi rebels with advanced anti-ship ballistic cruise missiles, potentially shifting Middle East power dynamics. This move could threaten Western interests, especially commercial shipping in the Red Sea. The Houthis, aligned with Iran, have increased attacks on vessels recently. Russia's closer ties with Iran and anti-Western alliances drive this cooperation. U.S. officials worry about escalating conflicts, particularly between Israel and Hezbollah, potentially deepening Iran-Russia military collaboration.

After careful consideration,
we are revising our sponsorship

and companies who engage in
weapons manufacturing, will
not be sponsors of SXSW 2025, SXSW statement, via Fox News.

Bands and artists participating in the boycott,
including Squirrel Flower, Scowl and Okay Shalom,
explained why they protested the 2024 festival. .
There are many ways SXSW is harmful
to working musicians, but I am pulling
out specifically because of the fact
that SXSW is platforming defense

subsidiaries as well as the U.S. Army,

Mohammed Deif, the military commander of the Palestinian Hamas resistance group, has reportedly survived an Israeli attempt to assassinate him at the al-Mawasi camp in southern Gaza. A senior Hamas official confirmed Deif's well-being and stated that he is actively overseeing military operations against Israeli forces. The incident occurred during an Israeli military attack on a designated humanitarian safe zone in the same area, resulting in the deaths of at least 90 Palestinians and injuries to 300 others. This attack has been identified as the deadliest in Gaza in recent weeks, escalating tensions in the region.

Hezbollah, the Lebanese resistance movement, has conducted 10 operations targeting Israeli military positions in response to ongoing Israeli attacks on both Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. Hezbollah and Israel have engaged in a series of intense confrontations since early October, sparked by a significant escalation in Gaza. This followed a surprise operation by the Hamas resistance group, leading to deadly exchanges of fire between the two sides.

Yemeni forces conducted three pro-Palestinian operations, including a joint effort with Iraqi fighters. They targeted ships in the Red Sea and Mediterranean using drones, missiles, and boats. These actions enforce a ban on vessels heading to Israeli-occupied territories and respond to recent Israeli airstrikes in Gaza. The operations demonstrate Yemen's sophisticated military capabilities and international cooperation.

How You Can Cut Energy Costs , With a New Reflective , 'Cool Roof'.
LifeHacker recently reported on the benefits
of installing a new cool roof, including
keeping monthly utility costs down. .
A cool roof reflects more sunlight from the
surface of your roof, which helps to keep
your house cool when temperatures rise. .
This is usually done with lighter
colored materials, but can also
incorporate materials designed
to reflect infrared light without
changing the roof's appearance. .
According to the U.S. Department of Energy,
this type of roof can bring the exterior temperature
of a roof down about 50 degrees on a hot day.
This can help bring the interior temperature
of a home down to safer levels,
even without air conditioning.
LifeHacker points out that the price of installing
a new cool roof is similar to a traditional roof,
which is already a costly investment.

This includes everything from shingles coated in an
IR reflective coating for steep roofs, to light-colored
single-ply membranes for low-slope roofs.
Other approaches involve reflective mineral
coatings or layers of reflexive marble.
Green roofs, or living roofs, which are one of the most
sustainable types of roof, are another option for reducing
interior temperatures, however, the cost can be prohibitive
