Silicon Bites Ep369 | 2026-07-18 | Why Russians can't have nice things — Ukraine burns the warehouses of the "Russian Amazon", and the war finally arrives at the Muscovite front door- challenging the comfort, convenience and privilege of the Russia elite population. On the morning of Saturday 18 July 2026, Muscovites woke to a black pall hanging over their capital. Not refineries this time, though those fires have become a familiar site to Russians. From the burning logistics empire of Wildberries — the "Russian Amazon" — struck by Ukrainian long-range drones in Elektrostal and in Kotovsk, alongside a blazing oil depot in Noginsk. Zelensky calls it "long-range sanctions." We call it the moment the consumer economy of the Muscovite heartland discovered that Putin's war has a return address. Strike Nova Poshta depots in Ukraine, well, there are consequences, Russians. ----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires. Dzyga's Paw, together with Jonathan Fink, is joining forces to raise $40,000 to provide the Khartiia Brigade with Vampire Drones.https://dzygaspaw.com/silicon-curtain-for-kupiansk-vampiresThese heavy bombers are designed to destroy manpower and equipment, as well as for remote mining.

Gas and diesel prices are rising again, and the pressure may not fade quickly even if crude oil prices cool off.Chuck Zodda and Mike Armstrong break down why refinery disruptions in the Middle East and Russia are pushing crack spreads to record highs, how tight refined-product supplies are keeping pressure on drivers, and why China's oil strategy could quickly change the global energy picture. They also discuss how airline credit cards and rewards programs have become a major profit engine, why AI is already reshaping some entry-level jobs, what retirement planning needs to account for before inflation becomes a bigger problem, why more Boomers are buying larger homes instead of downsizing, and why prediction markets may be creating new insider-trading risks.

Send us Fan MailA country doesn't get many chances to rewrite its economic story in real time and Nigeria may be staring at one right now. We take the heated “Dangote vs NNPC” conversation and widen the lens: what happens when a private company builds oil and gas infrastructure at a scale that can shift national petroleum flows?We reach back into business history with John D. Rockefeller and Standard Oil to show a repeating pattern in energy markets. When one player becomes system-level, the biggest question isn't whether they can beat competitors, it's how the nation responds. Do regulators absorb that influence, constrain it, or design a new equilibrium that sparks competition and industrial expansion? That framework matters because the Dangote Refinery isn't just about gasoline or diesel. It's about downstream and midstream growth, petrochemicals, fertilizer, logistics, shipping, storage, plastics, lubricants, and the supply chains that turn natural resources into jobs.We also talk about something more personal: nation-building requires a symbiotic relationship, not a parasitic one. Nigeria's opportunity is to turn one giant investment into an entire industrial generation where smaller businesses can emerge, hire, and scale across regions. If we get the rules, incentives, and mindset right, the headline won't be “who won the fight,” it will be “what Nigeria built around the platform.”Subscribe to the World Cafe Podcast, share this with a friend, and leave a review.

Michael Bernstam reports that Ukrainian drone strikes have taken 28% of Russian oil refineries out of commission, causing widespread fuel shortages and forcing Russia to import gasoline. Vladimir Putin admitted the situation is "difficult" as Crimea faces crises in fuel, food, and water due to severed supply routes. (14)1800 VENEZUELA

Louisiana refineries don't pipe in all the crude oil they need from the Houston and Nederland areas or the U.S. Gulf, or ship it in from abroad. Some depend on crude that is piped in from Longview, TX, and others get at least some of their oil from Capline, which moves crude south from Illinois.

Michael Bernstam discusses Putin's admission of "difficulties" as Ukrainian drones target refineries and the shadow fleet. He warns that a desperate leader under internal pressure may resort to drastic measures as diesel supplies vanish now. (1)1720 PETER

John Hardie and Bill Roggio report on Russian fuel shortages caused by Ukrainian long-range drone strikes on refineries. Hardie notes this crisis breaks Putin's "social contract" of stability for passivity. Despite economic trouble, Putin maintains maximalist war demands due to inflated military reports from his general staff. 10

The sourcing of crude oil for the 14 refineries in Louisiana has been shifting over the past few years and the pace of that shift is picking up as more U.S. Gulf production flows to Texas (and less flows to the Bayou State), new pipeline projects come online, and refineries modify their crude slates.

AP correspondent Karen Chammas reports Ukrainian drones set a Moscow refinery ablaze in a major attack on the Russian capital for the second time in a week.

In a stark contrast to the past, the speaker highlights a concerning trend in Denver's crime statistics. Twenty-five years ago, 90% of Republicans and 87% of Democrats felt proud to be American. Fast forward to today, and the numbers have shifted dramatically. But is the narrative of a city in crisis accurate? The speaker digs into the data and reveals a more nuanced picture.This episode explores the complexities of crime and policy in Denver, where the numbers don't quite add up. The speaker examines the city's recent surge in homicides and the factors contributing to it. They also delve into the city's decision to abandon its automated license plate reader system, which was credited with helping to reduce crime. The speaker questions whether the city's policies are truly effective in addressing the issue.The conversation touches on the importance of understanding the root causes of crime and the role of policy in shaping the city's crime landscape. The speaker also discusses the impact of California's refinery closures on the state's energy independence and the potential consequences for the nation's security. They argue that the government's decision to prioritize environmental regulations over energy production has led to a strategic vulnerability.If you're interested in a more in-depth analysis of the issues facing Denver and the nation, tune in to this episode to hear the speaker's thought-provoking insights and arguments.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ronald Stein discusses California's “refinery crisis,” arguing that heavy regulation is driving remaining refineries to consider leaving, after recent closures and a reported 17% decline from peak refining. He says California is an “energy island” with no pipelines over the Sierra Nevada, so most fuel must be made in-state; otherwise it would come from foreign refineries, potentially in Asia, raising costs, emissions, and national security concerns for military and international airports, ports, and trucking. Stein contends wind and solar only generate electricity and cannot replace refined-oil products used for transportation fuels and countless derivatives. He criticizes politicians and the press for not addressing practical replacement plans and advocates “energy literacy.”00:00 Refinery Crisis Begins00:42 California Energy Island01:22 Fuel Demand Reality Check02:03 Refineries Leaving Warning02:58 Climate Policy Pushback04:12 Voters Politicians Press05:04 Wind Solar Limits06:00 No Backup Plan06:14 Regulators And Newsom08:49 Oil Derivatives Explained09:47 Crude Types And Fracking11:46 How Regulations Drive Out13:15 Outsourcing Emissions Abroad14:39 Import Dependence Grows16:29 Shipping And Port Bottlenecks18:34 Clean Air But High Demand20:20 National Security Takeover Talk22:37 Campaign Silence And Media23:29 Planes Need Real Power24:51 Battery Plane Reality Check25:36 Electricity Imports Warning25:56 Importing Power and Fuel26:17 AI Power Crunch29:08 Refinery Rules and Costs30:54 Foreign Dependence Risks32:25 Scaling Alternatives34:35 Energy Literacy and Policy36:25 Nuclear Future39:26 Wind Reality Check41:32 California Oil Underfoot44:33 Oil Seeps and Tar Pits46:36 Zero Emissions Reality49:45 Global Poverty and Demand50:45 Where to Follow Ronald=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

“Recorded from Woolwich, on the other side of the river Thames. The sound of the factory, along with planes coming and going from City airport, boats and the river all mixed together to form a drone like wall of sound.”

(5) Michael Bernstam analyzes the humiliating Ukrainian strike on a St. Petersburg oil terminal during Putin's flagship economic forum. Russia's energy sector faces a crisis, forcing a ban on refined exports like gasoline due to refinery damage. Consequently, Russia must increase crude exports to China and India.

Hydrocarbon Processing sat down with Holli Garrett, Global Product Manager, Ethylene, at Clariant Catalysts to discuss the evolution of refinery off-gas treatment, and how those gases are creating value.

The world is shifting from asset light and infinitely scalable to asset heavy. Across the globe, trillions of dollars are going into assets. Capital expenditure is on the rise. What is driving this? What sectors are we seeing it in? What are the challenges and bottlenecks companies face in delivering on CapEx programs? And how do new technologies and approaches to talent overcome this?

Michael Bernstam discusses the impact of Ukrainian drone strikes on the Russian oil market, noting that strikes on refineries and ports have forced Russia to export more crude oil at discounted prices instead of high-value refined products. Simultaneously, U.S. oil production has hit record levels, significantly influencing global market prices. (9)1905 BAKU
