Exxon Mobil buys Denbury, pipeline company with carbon capture expertise, for $5 billion

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:26:07 GMT

Exxon Mobil is buying pipeline operator Denbury, the beneficiary of changes in U.S. climate policy that intended to reduce the amount of emissions released into the atmosphere. The all-stock deal valued at $4.9 billion puts Denbury’s capabilities related to carbon capture front and center. Carbon capture and storage involves removing carbon dioxide, either from the source of pollution or from the air at large, and storing it deep underground. In some instances, the carbon dioxide is transported across states through pipelines and stored at facilities and used for other things.The Inflation Reduction Act signed into law last year by President Joe Biden infuses nearly $375 billion over the decade in climate change-fighting strategies that could put the country on a path to cut greenhouse gas emissions 40% by 2030, including carbon capture operations. Exxon Mobil Corp. said Thursday that the acquisiton gives it the largest owned and operated carbon dioxide pipeline network in the...

Lo que el presidente de Ucrania, Volodymyr Zelensky, quería de la OTAN, y lo que obtuvo

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:26:07 GMT

(CNN) — En la cumbre de la OTAN del año pasado, en Madrid, la alianza invitó formalmente a Suecia y Finlandia a unirse a sus filas. En la cumbre de este año, en Vilna, el presidente de Ucrania, Volodymyr Zelensky, esperaba que la Alianza Atlántica le otorgara a su país el mismo favor.Pero no ocurrió. En su comunicado final, emitido este miércoles por la noche, la OTAN afirmó que “el futuro de Ucrania está en la OTAN”, pero no dijo cuándo podría comenzar ese futuro.A lo largo de la invasión rusa, los aliados occidentales se han preocupado por aprobar lo que Kyiv ha pedido: primero, artillería; luego, tanques Leopard; después, aviones de combate F-16 y luego, municiones en racimo. Cada vez, lo que al principio parecía estar más allá de los límites, eventualmente llegó a ser visto por algunos miembros como sensato y justo.Pero la pertenencia a la OTAN es mucho más importante que el equipamiento militar, y puede pasar algún tiempo antes de que se conceda el último deseo de Kyiv.

The study included the period between 2008 and 2023.Costs include unrecovered stolen property, damaged property, victims’ out-of-pocket medical expenses, the cost of police, courts and correctional institutions, and lost earnings by both victims and perpetrators who are arrested and convicted. Murder is the highest costing crime in the analysis at $8.8 million per incident.

The cost of all crime was $27.2 billion - about $4,623 per every Coloradan. The cost has gone down since 2021, but CSI warns the current crime rate is too expensive in any case.
