This week on Mental Man Monday, Izzy Baker is joined by Nate Evans Jr. — speaker, mentor, and resilience coach — for a powerful and transparent conversation about what it truly means for men to lean on one another.Together, they explore how the orphan spirit keeps men isolated, why men often struggle to be vulnerable even with their closest friends, and how faith and therapy can help break those cycles. Nate shares his own journey and his work with “The Refinery,” where he coaches men to process their emotions, overcome rejection, and embrace a new spirit of sonship rooted in acceptance and purpose.From practical steps for becoming more emotionally open to unpacking the damaging myths around male independence, Nate and Izzy challenge every listener to go deeper. They also discuss the spiritual cost of competition, the power of celebrating your brothers' success, and what it means to truly heal your identity. This episode is for any man who's tired of pretending he's fine and is ready to embrace the freedom that comes with real community. Listen. Reflect. Break the cycle.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.

The Memorial Day weekend in the US is often considered the kickoff to the summer driving season, a period of heightened gasoline demand where families take vacations and refiners profit on healthier margins. But how is the European supply and demand balance coping with changes in the global refining picture, as some European refineries shut down while production ramps up in Africa and further afield? Senior crude specialist Joey Daly speaks with European gasoline and WAF products specialist Matthew Tracey-Cook to discuss the current market dynamics in the Atlantic Basin and how they are affecting the European gasoline market.  The Refining Scenario Manager (RSM) allows for scenario modeling of any refinery globally, to optimize trading and operational decision-making.  Links: Platts Premium 10ppm FOB Rotterdam barges PGABM00 Platts Premium 10ppm FOB Mediterranean cargoes AAWZA00Platts Gasoline STS Lome ABNWG00 Gasoline exports to West Africa fall to 2-month low amid well supplied market (subscriber content)

Hey everyone I'm Gary Hoban and welcome to Refinery Life Australia.“The Christ of John's Gospel” has been our theme for the past couple of months teachings with a focus on John's unique portrayal of the Christ.Today we are talking about The Promise of The Holy Spirit.Saying goodbye can be difficult.People struggle with the words when a friend or family member will be going away for a long period of time.Likewise, the disciples had a hard time saying farewell to the Master.Jesus had prepared them for the fact of His death, but they were not willing to accept this reality.The closer the time came for Jesus' departure, the more they recognised the reality.The Lord and His disciples had a difficult time leaving each other.Jesus told the disciples that His departure would be only for a short time. John 14:19, “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also.Jesus promised that He would be with His disciples in the power and presence of His Spirit.In other words, Jesus Himself would be present with His disciples in another manner.Maybe believers need to examine the promise Jesus gave to His disciples about the Holy Spirit.We need not be discouraged because the physical presence of Jesus is not with us.He is present in the Holy Spirit.We need to understand this and celebrate His presence!Until next timeStay in the BlessingsI really want to encourage you to be diligent with your Bible study time, because God has so much more for us than we can get from just going to church once or twice a week and hearing someone else talk about the Word.When you spend time with God, your life will change in amazing ways, because God is a Redeemer.Theres nothing thats too hard for Him, and He can make you whole, spirit, soul and body!You're important to God, and you're important to us at The Refinery.When it comes to prayer, we believe that God wants to meet your needs and reveal His promises to you.So whatever you're concerned about and need prayer for we want to be here for you!

In this fiery commentary, the host dissects California's escalating energy crisis, framing it as the inevitable outcome of progressive climate policies championed by Governor Gavin Newsom and Democratic lawmakers. With two major oil refineries set to shut down, Californians are bracing for $10-per-gallon gas—just as predicted years ago. As lawmakers scramble to blame regulators and dodge responsibility, the host argues they're merely reaping what they sowed. But the critique goes deeper. The real agenda, the host claims, is unfolding: the deliberate creation of an energy crisis to justify a government takeover of private industry—echoing Marxist strategies from the past. Drawing from historical precedents and the 2022 New York Times article advocating for federal control over food and fuel, the episode paints California as a test case for a broader national push toward state-run energy production. Raw, unapologetic, and urgent, this broadcast serves as a stark warning of what's to come if current policies continue unchecked.

Welcome back to Trading Corner.  This week, James and Manny dive headfirst into the wild ride that is the HSFO market and what it means for cracks, margins, and benchmark distortion.Three trades this week:James' Trade Idea:Hold Long Dec '26 EBOB Crack — Deferred gasoline margins still underpriced with summer upside in sight.Manny's Trade Ideas:Long June/July DFL Roll — Tight barrels and seasonal strength point to continued structure.Long Q3 DFL — Dubai benchmark pricing is misfiring, but physicals suggest upside still to come.From refinery complexity choking HSFO supply, to a benchmark blindspot in Dubai, and a product market that's tightening as the mercury rises, James and Manny unpack the big themes:* Why high-sulfur fuel oil cracks are breaking records* The lead/lag dance between fuel and crude pricing* A deep dive on Dubai's Murban distortion and why it's capping benchmark reaction* When "margin boxes" lie — and how to trade what's really happening* The case for long product / short crude reversals as we enter Q3* Why June vs. July is where the curve gets interestingGlossary terms featured this week:Crack Differential between a barrel of product and crude oil, indicating refinery margin.Volatility Volatility is the degree of variation of a trading price series over time.HSFO Fuel oil with higher sulfur contents - max: 3.5%. Typically used in shipping and power generation.Margins The difference between the prices of refined products and crude oil.Platts Price Reporting Agency which provides benchmark price assessments in the physical energy markets.Lead / Lag The lead-lag relationship in trading describes how one market or asset (the "leader") tends to move ahead of another (the "lagger"), allowing traders to anticipate price movements based on these patterns.Over brought “Over brought” refers to a market condition where a trader has purchased more of a commodity than intended or than the market can absorb, increasing downside risk if demand falls short.Balmo "Balmo" (Balance of Month) refers to contracts covering the remaining days of the current month, used for short-term supply or hedging once the month is underway.Dubai (contract) The Dubai contract is a crude oil benchmark used to price Middle Eastern exports to Asia, reflecting medium sour crude and managed by the Dubai Mercantile Exchange (DME).Naphtha Naphtha is a light, flammable hydrocarbon liquid from petroleum refining, used in gasoline production and widely in industrial and petrochemical processes.

The House has passed a bill mandating the Ten Commandments be displayed in all public school classrooms. If the Senate signs off, Gov. Greg Abbott is expected to make it law.

Now a new bill that rolls back those mandates […] The post Corpus Christi's water future looks uncertain as Tesla builds nearby refinery appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

This week on Next Round, we talk with Michael Mische, Associate Professor of the Practice of Management and Organization at the University of Southern California, about his new study showing just how much more Californians will pay at the pump for gas when two of the state's major refineries shut down operations in the coming years. Plus, Tim and Matt discuss the debate over the State and Local Tax Deduction in Congress and legislation to make it easier and cheaper to build housing.

With Valero announcing the pending closure of one of its two remaining California refineries, the state will lose at least 18% of its current refining capacity by the end of 2026.Because California is an “energy island,” meeting demand for California and the parts of Nevada and Arizona that rely on its refineries will require costly imports of volatile fuel by emissions-heavy tanker ships. California Gov. Gavin Newsom has long blamed rising gas prices on refiners' “price gouging,” but even though his own administration has said that it has no found no evidence of such, he called a special legislative session last year to pass new refinery regulations that both Democratic and Republican governors of neighboring states warned would lead to price hikes and supply shortages. Now, with the closure announcement, the warnings from the energy industry and regional leaders are coming to fruition.

California's self-inflicted gas crisis is about to hit wallets HARD with projections of $8.43 per gallon by 2026. Watch as Valero and Phillips 66 refineries flee the state, taking millions in revenue and leaving a gasoline deficit of up to 13 million gallons daily. Why? Because California's virtue-signaling politicians have created a regulatory nightmare while banning gas vehicles by 2035. As usual, Sacramento claims to be 'protecting consumers' while refineries that have operated for decades are saying 'we're done.' Remember when officials blamed 'price gouging' for high gas prices? How's that working out now that companies are shutting down entirely? The most painful part? Those hit hardest will be everyday Californians already struggling to make ends meet.Is this what 'green leadership' looks like—skyrocketing costs and greater dependence on Middle Eastern oil shipped on carbon-belching tankers? Will Gavin Newsom admit his policies are driving this crisis, or find someone else to blame?

The guy who told Valero to go back to Texas in 2010 is sounding the alarm on refineries leaving CaliforniaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Energy Newsbeat – Conversations in Energy, host Stuart Turley and Ronald Stein discuss California's energy crisis, focusing on the state's declining oil production and refining capacity. They highlight how California's reliance on imported oil has grown to over 60%, creating a national security risk. Stein criticizes Governor Newsom's push to phase out fossil fuels without addressing the ongoing demand, and they explore how this policy impacts the state's energy future. They also touch on global shifts in energy production, including China's growing refinery capacity and the complexities of California's regulatory environment.Ronald is a great friend to the Energy News Beat podcast and a great resource. Please follow his energy discussions here: https://www.americaoutloud.news/author/ronald-stein-p-e/"California is a national security risk" is a fantastic point that Ronald made, and it prompted us to record a follow-up with Mike Umbro, which is coming out of production in a few days.

Last month, Oil Giant Valero announced it would “restructure, or cease operations” at its Benicia refinery by the end of April 2026, as California transitions away from fossil fuels. The news left city officials, workers and residents scrambling to figure out what to do next. Valero is the city's largest employer and a significant taxpayer, but also a source of pollution.  We talk about the possible closure and what it means for our region.

Another California refinery bites the dust, and NOBODY is surprised. Valero's Benicia refinery announces closure by 2026, the latest casualty in California's regulatory war on the oil industry. Watch as we break down how excessive taxation and environmental regulations are driving refineries out of the state while Governor Newsom pretends to be shocked at the consequences of his own policies. With 400 jobs on the chopping block and millions in local revenue vanishing, this small town faces devastation while politicians virtue signal about going green. Is anyone actually connecting the dots between California's refinery closures and those sky-high gas prices you're paying at the pump? When will officials admit their 'green' policies are destroying communities while doing little for global emissions? Subscribe now to stay informed about the real impact of government policies on your wallet and community.

Last week, the oil giant Valero announced that it will “idle, restructure, or cease operations” at its Benicia refinery that employs more than 400 workers by April 2026. KQED's Julie Small tells us how officials are reacting, and why many view this decision as a response to state and local regulations.

Welcome to The Ramble Refinery! After a year-long hiatus, the podcast is back—but with a whole new vibe. In this kickoff episode, I'm sharing the messy, real story behind the rebrand, why I almost launched seven different shows, and what finally clicked.We're talking about: 

Alberta has long believed its oil would sell forever, but U.S. refineries are signaling they could drop Alberta crude in a heartbeat. Looks like “forever” lasts about as long as a duck on a tailings pond. Meanwhile, Korea's $800 billion pension fund is ditching coal, an 8-year-old activist has forced India's Supreme Court into action, and Brazil wants to reverse deforestation with reforestation.

"Water is a limited resource, and in this refinery, every gallon saved is a win for sustainability." – Juan Meneses Water is a critical resource in industrial operations, and improving efficiency is a top priority for many companies. In this episode of Scaling UP! H2O, returning guest Juan Meneses, District Manager at Nalco Water, an Ecolab Company, discusses how a Western refinery optimized its water footprint using advanced treatment technologies.  This episode is packed with insights on water conservation strategies, sustainability goals, and the role of advanced monitoring technologies like 3D TRASAR in maximizing operational efficiency while minimizing environmental impact.  Key Topics Covered:  The Challenges of Water Usage in Refineries  This refinery faced rising water costs and increasing sustainability pressures. With water sourced from the city, costs were projected to rise by 5% annually, with wastewater discharge costs climbing even faster. Finding ways to reduce water consumption while maintaining efficiency was a top priority.  Optimizing Cooling Towers for Maximum Water Efficiency  Cooling towers presented a key opportunity for conservation. The team aimed to increase cycles of concentration to reduce water waste without compromising system integrity. By using 3D TRASAR technology, they monitored real-time conditions, allowing precise adjustments to prevent scaling and corrosion.  Implementing Smart Water Treatment Strategies  To sustain higher cycles, the refinery introduced dual cathodic inhibitors and high-charge polymers, enhancing corrosion and scale control. pH adjustments ensured effective biocide performance while maintaining system reliability. This strategic shift allowed for significant reductions in water and chemical use.  Results and Lessons Learned  By increasing cycles from 5.5 to 9.3, the refinery saved 52 million gallons of water annually while cutting wastewater discharge and chemical consumption. The biggest takeaway? Real-time monitoring and proactive pH control are essential for maintaining efficiency at higher cycles.  Best Practices for Industrial Water Optimization  Collaboration between plant operators and water treatment professionals is key. Regular monitoring, data-driven decision-making, and advanced automation tools can help refineries maximize efficiency while meeting sustainability goals. Water conservation is good for business and the environment. Could your facility save millions of gallons? Explore advanced water treatment strategies today. Learn more at ScalingUpH2O.com.
