Not a huge achievement, but I went the whole battle with relatively minimal resource usage

French President Emmanuel Macron says that a proposed European armed force for possible deployment in Ukraine in tandem with an eventual peace deal could “respond” to a Russian attack if Moscow launched one.

In addition to supporting jobs that address oil patch pollution, these federal dollars are used on wells that lack any owner to pay for reclamation. Left unplugged, such orphaned oil and gas wells leak huge amounts of methane into the atmosphere and can contaminate local water sources with salty water and benzene.

The Interior Department estimates that there are about 157,000 documented orphaned oil and gas wells nationwide. This figure is likely a dramatic undercount: The Environmental Protection Agency stated in an April 2021 report that there could be as many as 3.4 million abandoned wells nationally.

“Undocumented orphaned wells may emit nearly 63 million grams of methane per hour into the atmosphere,” according to a November 2024 report, “the equivalent of over 3.6 million gasoline-powered passenger cars driven per year.”

Orphaned wells represent the final stage in what ProPublica recently described as the oil industry’s “playbook”: When oil wells are no longer productive, large companies sell them off to smaller companies and thereby shed their obligation to plug those wells.

The increasingly marginal wells change hands, eventually landing with operators who lack the financial means to plug them. And when these companies go bankrupt, the wells become orphaned, meaning that the plugging costs then fall on American taxpayers.

Les étudiants et les mouvements de citoyens critiquent aussi bien les coupes budgétaires du gouvernement indonésien que sa politique alimentaire et ses dérives autoritaires.

De nombreuses villes d’Indonésie sont depuis plusieurs semaines secouées par des manifestations de rues inédites dans ce pays depuis l’arrivée au pouvoir du président Prabowo Subianto. Un phénomène qui témoigne du profond mécontentement de la population envers les méthodes jugées autoritaires et prédatrices de son gouvernement.

Ces manifestations, ouvertement critiques à l’égard des cent premiers jours du mandat du président indonésien, arrivé au pouvoir le 20 octobre 2024, rassemblent de nombreuses associations d’étudiants, de même que des mouvements citoyens. Fait sans précédent dans l’archipel indonésien ces dernières années, elles ont essaimé dans presque toutes les principales villes.

Last time I posted I was in the process of figuring out a new place to live. Just wanted to check in and say I made the move and I'm okay. It was hard, and maybe not exactly as far as I wanted but it's better than the deep south. I'm making friends and have decent work. Hopefully life will be kind. Community is helping me a lot. Posting a photo I took this morning while slacking off and feeling cute. HRT for 1.5 years now.

On Wednesday, the Riigikogu voted in favor of amending the Constitution to revoke the right of Russian and Belarusian citizens to vote in local elections. Holders of so-called grey passports will still be allowed to vote in the next round of local elections, but it will be the last time.

According to journalist Fatih Altaylı, Turkish Embassy in Canada has filmed protests made in front of the embassy and identified a student who attended the protest against the Erdogan regime, called them and confiscated their passport. Embassy has said "You're a protester, go take your passport from Imamoglu if you can" as their reasoning behind this action to the student.

On Wednesday, Cora Anderson, who works with the Russian scientist Kseniia Petrova, shared the news of Petrova’s detention on Facebook, saying the Russian scientist arrived at Boston Logan international airport on 16 February from a trip to France when she was stopped by US authorities.

According to Anderson, authorities revoked Petrova’s visa and told her that she was to be deported to Russia. In response, Petrova said that she feared political persecution and was instead sent by authorities to a detention facility, Anderson said.
