WELL, GOOD: EPA Extends Emergency Diesel Waiver For Texas As Fuel Supply Crisis Drags On.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) extended Texas’ emergency diesel waiver Tuesday, allowing certain older vehicles and equipment to use higher-sulfur fuel through Nov. 13. The 20-day extension follows an initial waiver granted October 5 at Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s request.

“EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin is doing what he can to provide relief to American consumers, but emergency waivers cannot replace the refining capacity we’ve lost after decades of politicians pursuing so-called climate agendas,” Jason Isaac, CEO of the American Energy Institute told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “California has driven refineries out of business, while European countries pursuing Net Zero policies have watched their refining capacity decline.”

National distillate inventories were 11% below their five-year average as of Oct. 9, while refineries were operating at 93.5% capacity, according to the EPA’s Oct. 20 letter.

“It is EPA’s intention to issue new waivers effectively extending (renewing) these waivers until such time as the extreme and unusual fuel supply circumstances described in this action are no longer present,” EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin wrote.

The crisis looks like it’ll last a good, long while — maybe even time enough to get serious about increasing refining capacity.

TO BE FAIR…:

TERRIBLE, NONSENSICAL HEADLINE, BUT THE STORY IS IMPORTANT: Meta agrees to let Mark Zuckerberg remain in California amid proposed billionaire wealth tax.

Mark Zuckerberg has reached an agreement with Meta to remain in California after raising the possibility of leaving the state amid concerns over a proposed billionaire wealth tax.

Zuckerberg, Meta’s CEO, previously told the company he was considering moving his primary residence outside California because of Proposition 40, a ballot initiative that would impose a one-time tax equal to 5% of net worth on billionaires who were California residents on Jan. 1, 2026, if approved.

Under the agreement, Zuckerberg will receive non-voting shares that he could sell to help cover a potential wealth tax bill in exchange for a commitment to remain a resident of California, or the state where Meta maintains its headquarters, for eight years, according to Reuters.

Stupid. This will only encourage California’s worst instincts, and at the expense of Meta shareholders.

I’m not one, FWIW.

THE NEW SPACE RACE: When will SpaceX and Blue Origin fly to the moon? NASA reveals lunar lander timelines.

A more pressing deadline, however, is NASA’s Artemis III mission, which is targeted for the third quarter (Q3) of 2027. Artemis III will launch four astronauts aboard NASA’s Orion spacecraft to low Earth orbit (LEO), where they will rendezvous and dock with test versions of both companies’ landers for interoperability checkouts. Those demonstrations will help inform NASA’s determination about which lander the agency will choose to carry astronauts to the moon’s surface on Artemis IV, targeted for early 2028.

SpaceX and Blue Origin were both awarded NASA contracts to develop HLS vehicles — Starship and Blue Moon, respectively — and have spent the past several years refining their respective lunar lander designs and dealing with various delays along the way. In the face of those delays, and in an effort to better structure its mission progression for success, NASA overhauled its Artemis program architecture in February to maintain its goal of landing astronauts on the moon by the end of 2028 and establish a more regular cadence of uncrewed landings in the meantime.

It was just a year or two ago I’d grown pessimistic on our chances of beating China to the Moon in the New Space Race, but Isaacman is really shaking things up at NASA.

THE NEW SPACE RACE: China readies first commercial resupply craft, first booster reflight, and next landing attempt.

As its launch cadence continues to grow, China is stepping further towards reusable rockets as it prepares for the first re-flight of a previously-flown booster, while the Chang Zheng 12A will attempt to become China’s third rocket to have its first stage recovered, on its second attempt.

In addition to testing droneships for future ocean landings, China is also increasing the number of vehicles that can be launched from platforms at sea. Meanwhile, its two major broadband megaconstellations are preparing to roll out a domestic service; China’s long-established navigation and positioning constellation has completed an upgrade; and China’s new commercial resupply spacecraft are moving closer to launch.

They’ve been busy — and they’re getting really good at this stuff.
