The decision to blow open five tank cars and burn the toxic chemical inside them after a freight train derailed in Eastern Ohio last year wasn't justified, the head of the National Transportation Safety Board told Congress Wednesday. “There was another option: let it cool down.”However, that information was never relayed to Ohio Gov. But the agency won't release its final report on what caused the Feb. 3, 2023, derailment until it holds another hearing this June. "The successful controlled release prevented a potentially catastrophic uncontrolled explosion.”Krissy Ferguson, 49, has not been able to return home since the derailment. The NTSB has said that it appears an overheating bearing on one of the railcars caused the derailment.

While no Club earnings are scheduled to report earnings in the week ahead, 61 companies in the S & P 500 will deliver their latest quarterly results. Consumer inflation: The main event of the week will come on Tuesday when the January consumer price index (CPI) is released.

Scientists have said carbon removal is needed to keep climate goals alive. Otherwise, the enormous price tag for world-scale carbon removal would need to fall to governments if there is any chance of these projects surviving. A major concern is that DAC technology is both expensive and unproven at scale. More mature carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, which traps emissions at a point source like a smokestack, also requires a rapid scale up to make a difference. Their money will be made instead by marketing carbon removal credits to corporations not involved in fossil fuels that wish to offset unavoidable emissions, or to governments seeking to stay on track with climate targets.

A piece of equipment called a distributor used to hold trays of limestone for capturing carbon is seen at the Heirloom Carbon Technologies facility in Brisbane, California, U.S. February 1, 2023. Direct Air Capture such as that used by Heirloom can secure the CO2, but it is not yet clear whether it can do so at a price that makes the technology practical. The new facility, which uses crushed limestone to capture 1,000 tonnes a year, is part of a ramp up that Heirloom says will cut costs. Current industry prices for carbon removal by direct air capture are around $600-$1,000 a tonne, one person familiar with the situation said. The Department of Energy is spending billions in grants to built Direct Air Capture demonstration hubs.

Market participants will parse commentary from Fed Board Governor Christopher Waller and New York Fed President John Williams later on Tuesday for more clues on the central bank's interest rate path.

Since our shareholders are getting Chevron stock, we get to participate in the upside, and also get a higher dividend," he said. He added that Hess shareholders who keep their shares in their combined company will see their dividend rise from $1.75 to $6 per share following the close of the deal. Exxon and Chevron are keen on these deals because they want to avoid the risk of exploring unproven reserves as oil and gas become scarcer. Exxon and Chevron had $29.5 billion and $9.3 billion in cash, respectively, as of the end of June. Keeping dividends and share buybacks strong helps compensate existing Exxon and Chevron shareholders for the dilution incurred in the all-stock acquisitions.

☆ Warren Buffett on what to do during price swings — 'Volatility is a huge plus to the real investor'

A blowout September jobs report , surging bond yields and expectations for higher interest rates that last a while stoked big price swings in the stock market lately, leaving investors on edge. But in the stock market you get it," Buffett said at Berkshire's shareholder meeting in 1997 . "If you're an investor, you love the idea of wild swings because it means more things are going to get mispriced...Volatility is a huge plus to the real investor." 'Gambling mentality' Buffett's recent purchase of a big chunk of Occidental Petroleum is an example of taking advantage of market volatility. "We'd make a lot more money if volatility was higher, because it would create more mistakes in the market," Buffett once said.

Although longer-dated U.S. Treasury yields eased from 16-year highs on Wednesday, investors remain concerned that the elevated levels may pressure equities. Worries about U.S. government spending and its ballooning budget deficit have added to uncertainty around the interest rates trajectory, contributing to a steep selloff that have caused a rout in Treasury prices and a spike in yields. The S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq lost around 5% and 6% last month as yields spiked.
