I am so fucking pissed. We’re hearing forecasts that we might get FIVE FUCKING INCHES OF SNOW overnight from Monday to Tuesday. In ALABAMA, where we have no snow removal equipment. Like I think we got one bag of sand for the whole town. No snow tires, I don’t even know what those are. This isn’t cute “Haha it’s just barely below freezing! Snowball fight!!!” snow. This is 14° Fuck (-11° Come the Fuck On) snow. FIVE INCHES? We get flurries and the city descends into madness.

What if we lose POWER. Everything runs off USB cord stuck in the outlet charging nowadays. This is why everyone used to run out and buy Milk Bread Batteries. Listen. I have this memory of the power going out during this wild snowstorm when I was a kid--I want to say it was Winter Storm '93. Ask anyone who lived in Alabama at the time. Like we had Desert Storm '92 the military operation one year and Winter Storm '93 the next. It was that serious in our minds, and I'm not sure you can blame us:

The storm dumped several inches of snow each hour on Birmingham, which ended up with officially 13 inches of snow.

Due to the high winds some parts of Birmingham reported drifts 5 to 6 feet deep. One state trooper reported that the roads were in the worst shape he had ever seen. "People can't tell what's road and what's not."

Low temperatures during the storm were in the 5-to-10 degree range on that Sunday.

IN A TOWN WHERE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT A SNOW PLOW IS. I think we had one for the entire county. Like I'm only kind of joking here.

And our power went out.

The snow was so heavy that it pulled down power lines either by its own weight, or by the tree branches its weight broke off. Meanwhile, the power at my house already went off every time a squirrel sneezed. I don't how many days this lasted; it was probably like, 2-3 days, but in my head, I was 14 years old boxed up with my family with no heat and it lasted two weeks. Maybe three years. The four of us slept in sleeping bags layered with quilts, huddled on the floor around a wood burning fire. (In the haunted house, no less.) The carpet was really nice, at least. We had a--do people still call them boomboxes? A big portable cassette player--battery-powered--with AM/FM radio. We listened to whatever TV shows were broadcast from the ABC station at night. We did have hot water; I took a lot of hot baths. We cooked food over the outdoor grill (which we moved to the comfortably large area under the deck, to hold off the falling snow), sometimes using aluminum foil as a kind of thin impromptu frying pan, and kept perishables like milk and meat in a cooler. Oh, did we have a bag of ice for the cooler? No, we used snow. God knows there was enough of it. Of course, I'm sure the refrigerator was perfectly serviceable even without power, because it was TEN DEGREES FUCK ALL.

I remember going outside a good bit and playing, as much as a teenager plays, in the snow with my seven-year-old sister. I remember that all the neighborhood kids got big rubber trashcan lids and used them as toboggans, going up to the top of the hill on our street and pretty successfully sledding down. Maybe it was "lmao snowball fight!!" snow when I was 14. I'm 45 now, and the cold makes me hurt. It makes me hurt all over. Maybe Winter Storm '24 will be a fun core memory for my nephew. I am pissed. And also charging all my electronics.

(ETA: It’s ‘24 now, isn’t it. My brain hasn’t clicked the date over yet. What is time.)

Team describes how to produce 'green' steel from toxic red mud

The production of aluminum generates around 180 million tons of toxic red mud every year. Scientists at the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung, a center for iron research, have now shown how green steel can be produced from aluminum production waste in a relatively simple way. In an electric arc furnace similar to those used in the steel industry for decades, they convert the iron oxide contained in the red mud into iron using hydrogen plasma. With this process, almost 700 million tons of CO2-free steel could be produced from the 4 billion tons of red mud that have accumulated worldwide to date—which corresponds to a good third of annual steel production worldwide. As the Max Planck team shows, the process would also be economically viable. According to forecasts, demand for steel and aluminum will increase by up to 60% by 2050. Yet the conventional production of these metals has a considerable impact on the environment. Eight percent of global CO2 emissions come from the steel industry, making it the sector with the highest greenhouse gas emissions. Meanwhile, aluminum industry produces around 180 million tons of red mud every year, which is highly alkaline and contains traces of heavy metals such as chromium.

I realized that if I’m going to keep a public diary then I can’t really address it to anyone. That would be an open letter…

“This Is Why” has been out for a few months now. It seems like people are into it, which is such a relief. I know there will always be folks that don’t love it when we switch up the sound on them but I try to believe that anyone who doesn’t get it now will find it when they’re meant to. We’re dropping another song soon and I’m starting to feel like a volcano ready to blow. It’s only a single piece of the whole picture but hopefully, “The News,” is going to give a little more context to the meaning behind “This Is Why”.

We’re all back home now. Tonight I’m propped up with a neck massager thing trying to convince myself that it’s a holiday. My 4-foot aluminum tree is calling out to me from the garage. I really should turn my mind off— No thinking about Paramore or work past 6pm! Well, technically, this journal is a Paramore thing…But I shouldn’t think about it like that or it’ll defeat the whole purpose of publishing a personal diary altogether.…But if it’s a *personal* diary, then why are you writing about work?

Siri, call my therapist.

…

Anyway…

Other than a couple pinched nerves, I’m feeling nothing but gratitude for the shows we just played. There were so many nights we walked off stage gushing about how loud, how beautiful, or how joyful the crowd was. There were so many new faces to meet and so many familiar ones to reconnect with. A few of those shows really felt like some of our earliest headliners and I can’t really explain or understand that. I don’t need to. The point is, there has never been a better picture of how ridiculous this all is. Taylor, Zac, and I are living in a recurring state of disbelief. The gift people don’t know they give us by supporting our band is the gift of a common focus, to channel every kind of energy and emotion. The band is where we know we can come to sort shit out. I’m actually not sure if I’ve ever thought about it like this. Zac and I may have never been given the opportunity to become close friends again had Paramore not been a beautiful distraction from the relative awkwardness. Taylor and I could’ve taken completely different paths had the band not provided purpose when the rest of life seemed so pointless. Everybody needs that thing, whatever it is. I think I always knew mine would have something to do with music but I never imagined I would also get a whole family out of it.

Today it rained like crazy and I was walking Alf when the worst of it hit. It felt really fucking good. There was a drought the entire time we were recording in Los Angeles. That was just one of a thousand extremely sad and thoroughly haunting news stories to wake up to every day. Lately, I light up at the thought of a gray, dreary day. If the forecast calls for rain I’m Drew Barrymore.

Googling “what’s the right way to sign off in a diary?”

…

Warmest regards to myself.

Last night wasn't a "snow" storm. The frozen substance falling out of the sky was more like chips of ice that looked like rock salt. They made a hissing sizzling sound on the aluminum roof over my porch. The wind gusts caused disturbing banging noises that sounded like someone slamming a door at the other end of the house. More than once, I got up to confirm the sounds were outside.

This morning, the road thru the community appears to be covered by an inch of crushed ice. I can see vehicles moving on the main road beyond the park entrance but wouldn't risk trying to get to it except in an emergency. Last night, I heard someone w chains on their tires clinking past. Maybe later today, they'll lay some ice-breaking tracks for others to follow. Of course, the forecasters predict more ice raining down this afternoon.

My plan for today is cleaning up the debris in the master bed & bath & vacuuming before returning my clothes to the dresser drawers from whence they came. I woke this morning at pain level 6 in my joints & muscles. We'll see how far I can get before collapsing.

Petroleum Coke Prices | Pricing | Trend | News | Database | Chart | Forecast

Petroleum coke, often abbreviated as petcoke, is a valuable byproduct of the refining process and is primarily used as a source of energy in various industries, including cement, steel, and aluminum production. The pricing of petroleum coke is influenced by several factors, including global crude oil prices, demand and supply dynamics, and environmental regulations. In recent years, the petroleum coke market has experienced significant volatility, driven by fluctuations in the global energy markets, particularly in the oil and natural gas sectors.

One of the primary factors affecting petroleum coke prices is the price of crude oil, which serves as the feedstock for petcoke production. When crude oil prices rise, the cost of producing petroleum coke also tends to increase. This is because higher crude oil prices make refining processes more expensive, pushing up the cost of producing byproducts such as petcoke. Conversely, when crude oil prices fall, the cost of producing petcoke can decrease, leading to lower market prices. However, the relationship between crude oil and petcoke prices is not always straightforward, as various refining technologies and market factors can influence the final cost of petcoke.

Get Real Time Prices for Petroleum Coke: https://www.chemanalyst.com/Pricing-data/petroleum-coke-1119Another critical factor in determining petroleum coke prices is the balance between supply and demand. The global demand for petcoke is closely tied to industrial activity, particularly in sectors like cement, steel, and aluminum manufacturing, where it is used as a fuel and carbon source. When industrial activity is robust, demand for petcoke rises, pushing prices higher. Conversely, during periods of economic downturn or reduced industrial output, demand for petcoke declines, leading to downward pressure on prices. In addition, regional variations in demand can also play a significant role in shaping petcoke prices. For instance, emerging markets with expanding industrial sectors, such as China and India, tend to have higher demand for petcoke, which can drive prices up in these regions.

The supply of petroleum coke is another important factor that influences its pricing. Petcoke is produced as a byproduct of the refining process, and its availability is closely linked to the overall level of crude oil refining activity. When refining capacity is high, the supply of petcoke tends to increase, potentially leading to lower prices. However, disruptions in refining activity, such as maintenance shutdowns, natural disasters, or geopolitical events, can limit the supply of petcoke and push prices higher. Additionally, the quality of the petcoke produced can impact its price, with higher-quality grades, such as anode-grade petcoke, commanding a premium over lower-quality, fuel-grade petcoke.

Environmental regulations also play a crucial role in shaping petroleum coke prices. In recent years, there has been increasing scrutiny of the environmental impact of petcoke, particularly due to its high carbon content and the emissions associated with its use as a fuel. Some countries and regions have implemented stricter environmental regulations that limit the use of petcoke or impose additional costs on its production and consumption. For example, in the United States and Europe, environmental concerns have led to tighter restrictions on the sulfur content of petcoke, which has resulted in higher production costs and, in some cases, reduced demand. In contrast, in regions with less stringent environmental regulations, such as parts of Asia and the Middle East, petcoke remains a more cost-effective and widely used fuel source.

The global energy transition towards cleaner and renewable energy sources also has implications for petroleum coke prices. As more countries and industries shift towards lower-carbon energy solutions, the demand for petcoke as a fuel source may decline in the long term. This could lead to downward pressure on prices, particularly in regions that are adopting aggressive decarbonization policies. However, in the short to medium term, petcoke is likely to remain a vital component of industrial energy use in many parts of the world, particularly in developing economies where access to alternative energy sources may be limited or more expensive.

In addition to these macroeconomic factors, specific market conditions can also influence petroleum coke prices. For example, fluctuations in shipping and transportation costs can impact the final price of petcoke, particularly for regions that rely on imports. Changes in trade policies, tariffs, and taxes can also affect the price of petcoke, as they can alter the cost structure for both producers and consumers. For instance, the imposition of tariffs on petcoke imports or exports can lead to higher prices in the affected markets, while changes in tax policies can either increase or decrease the cost of production and distribution.

The petcoke market is also influenced by seasonal factors. In colder climates, there tends to be an increase in demand for energy, including petcoke, during the winter months, which can drive prices higher. Conversely, during warmer months, when energy demand is lower, prices may decline. However, the impact of seasonality on petcoke prices is often less pronounced than in other energy markets, such as natural gas or electricity, due to the relatively steady demand from industrial sectors that use petcoke throughout the year.

In conclusion, petroleum coke prices are determined by a complex interplay of factors, including crude oil prices, supply and demand dynamics, environmental regulations, and market conditions. While the global energy transition may pose challenges to the long-term outlook for petcoke demand, it is likely to remain an important fuel source for many industries in the near term. As such, understanding the various drivers of petcoke prices is essential for industry participants, including producers, consumers, and traders, as they navigate this dynamic and evolving market.
