Natural Gas: not a 100-year supply after all?

I was in Cle Elum, Washington at a coffee shop with a Little Free Library, where I found this book:

Basically the author goes through a lot of data that seem to show that the natural gas supply estimates that have been discussed in the media the last few years (particularly the "100-year supply") are wildly overblown.

Aubrey McClendon and Boone Pickens were two of the promoters of the "100-year" idea ... McClendon died earlier this year in what looked to be a suicide (single-vehicle car crash) the day after he was indicted for bid-rigging shenanigans in the leasing of natural gas fields. Pickens is still alive and still promoting natural-gas-powered cars ...

There's somebody near Cle Elum promoting this book; I got a copy from the Cle Elem library and read it while in Leavenworth at the Sleeping Lady  ... where I left it in the library there.

We stopped back in Cle Elum on our way home ... and there was another copy of Powers' book on the shelf!

So a possible trading idea: Buy natural gas futures (/NG) and sell calls against them, at least until nuclear fusion starts to work :-)  (See Tastytrade for more trading ideas ...)

Phenibut: avoid at all costs!

My Lovely Wife has often has trouble sleeping and an alternative health provider she was seeing recommended Phenibut:

She has tinnitus and found that Phenibut was aggravating it: moved the sound from a lower tone to a high, piercing sound. So she stopped.

At that point she found she couldn't sleep at all for several days until finally trying the natural form of the same sort of substance, GABA:

Only then did she start reading about the Phenibut withdrawal and side effects: not only aggravation of tinnitus but on withdrawal all sorts of stuff up to and including psychosis.

If you have trouble relaxing or sleeping you might try GABA, but avoid Phenibut! Check out the Reddit thread on this for further horror stories!
