You're listening to Oil and Gas This Week podcast brought to you by IBM.

This is the show for busy oil pros who want to quickly keep their finger on the pulse of the industry.

Thanks for joining us for episode 244. How's it going, Mark?

Well, no hurricane today.

No kidding, right?

I had a little PS, you know, TD on that one.

Yeah, so we've had multiple storms.

Luckily for us here in Texas, we have not been impacted like the poor folks in Louisiana.

Well, I mean, half of the, so the other side of town got hit a little bit, but it was more of a wind event than anything.

We got really lucky and it didn't hover and just dump rain on us constantly. So, very blessed to be in a situation we're in.

Also very blessed that we get reviews from awesome people. I'll let you read it then. Like this one from Arsudian from India.

I absolutely love your podcast and your

passion for the oil gas industry. It's truly remarkable. The only thing I suggest changing is to reduce the four minutes you spend on self-promoting to maybe one. You don't need to self-promote an admiration. Your podcast is great enough to do without you even needing to ass for it. Keep up the good work. So thank you,

thank you. Thank you. It was a five-star review. We try not to over-promote anything, but quite frankly, people, there's a cost to do in these shows. And if you notice, we don't have advertising, we don't try to sell you anything. So the self-promotion, I'm sorry, you just have to deal with it. It just helps us covers the bills for this show

and for all of our other 14-1 gas podcast.

Exactly.

Apologies, if'm sorry, you just have to deal with it. It just helps us covers the bills for this show and for all of our other 14 oil gas podcast. So apologies, if you notice, we intentionally leave the promotion stuff at the end of the show, so quite frankly, you can just quit listening. That's encouraging, Mark. Well, I mean, we're not going to quit doing it, but I do appreciate it, You know, and if Astoranian, if you want to write us a check for $70 or $80,000 a year to run the show, I'll reduce the promotion by 95%. But I don't think we do that bad a job. Anyway, first Friday Q&A, let's get into the questions. All right. Of course, the first person we have is Ludvick. I have a few questions about carbon and CO2 stuff.

If it is so bad, why are we adding it to greenhouses for industrial growing food?

The nature puts it in the ground from whatever we know.

Why are we eating something if it is so bad?
