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

Thanks for joining us for episode 354, and I definitely said all.

Well, to almost need to know if I was to get here in time to the oil and gas corporate headquarters, which, by the way, a while back, I mentioned that the storm took our power out, it caused us delays, delayed podcasts and everything.

And I want to thank the several companies out there that reached out to us to see if they

could provide us with backup generating capacity. I just really appreciate y'all reaching out.

It was great. Unfortunately, we don't use enough electricity. I know that sounds weird. There's a

backstory that. But I do appreciate three separate companies reached out to me. We're still talking to

one and we're going to figure something out. But just thank you to all the listeners for hearing that we had problems and whatnot. It just warms my heart. Another thing, the whole reason I got here a little bit late is this morning page, I got to tour the SEG solar manufacturing facility and did their ribbon cutting, their opening new factory. Did you actually cut the ribbon yourself?

No, I wasn't invited on stage for that.

Although, I have to admit, I had a handful of people recognize me and knew about us in the

podcast at a solar event, which is different.

But I got a chance to check everything out.

It's the first solar manufacturer, so solar cell manufacturer in Texas.

It's also now the largest and fastest solar manufacturer in the world. And it was just great to see

American companies producing solar cells for the American consumers, both businesses and consumers.

I met some really great people. There's probably more to come from that. So just because this is oil and gas this week, and just because this is part of the oil and gas global network, don't think we don't have our eyes on other energy sources. Remember people, it's all just energy unless you make fun of us and then we'll make fun of you back. Okay. Anyway, so we've got a review and it's four stars, which is fine. It's from Elyar, non-technical oil and gas podcast to remain current with the industry. Grateful for the oil and gas this week podcast. The podcast allows me to stay close to the industry as I left an energy market Intel firm two years ago to work in energy procurement.

Occasionally, pieces of information from the pod come in handy in my current line of work

when speaking to clients. Please continue making fun of California and just stop oil,

but we got something for you. I don't always agree with Mark's views, but we both agree
