Biden to Huddle with National Security Council Sunday on Ukraine
04:27am, Sunday, 20'th Feb 2022 Voice of America News
U.S. President Joe Biden will meet with the National Security Council on Sunday, the White House announced Saturday as it reaffirmed that Russia could launch an attack against Ukraine at any time, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said. Psaki said Biden was briefed Saturday on Vice President Kamala Harris meetings at the Munich Security Conference. Harris met Saturday with Western leaders, among them NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, as well as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. Russian President Vladimir Putin presided over military drills Saturday as shelling escalated in eastern Ukraine. Observers from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe reported more than 1,500 cease-fire violations in east Ukraine on Saturday, the highest single-day number this year. Russias defense ministry said Saturdays exercises, which the Kremlin says were previously planned to check readiness, involved practice submarine launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles, with Putin and the president of Belarus looking on.

Preventable pains of fuel scarcity
03:24am, Sunday, 20'th Feb 2022 BusinessDay
The queues are long-winding and tortuous. The crowds of fuel-seekers are agitated and visibly angry. The attendants at the few fuel filling stations are ever-ready to attend mostly to the highest bidders, ready to part with some extra cash. Not long after, the jostling for the much-needed fuel degenerates into bloody fisticuffs, as verbal missiles are exchanged more freely than bullets at the battle-field. Valuable man-hours are wasted and lost, but who really cares. At least, not right here and now in Nigeria. With all these scandalous scenarios unfolding in a country where crude oil was reportedly discovered in commercial quantity, precisely in Oloibiri, Bayelsa state some 66 years ago, it elicits no arguments when it is described as more of a curse than an economic cure. Or how else can any sane citizen explain that the host communities have had to bear the brunt of gross environmental degeneration; with oil spillage that has stifled out fishing and farming activities and carbon-monoxide fumes that have choked lives out of not a few residents.

Biden Administration Pushes For Even More "Climate Roadblocks" For Upcoming Oil And Gas Projects
01:10am, Sunday, 20'th Feb 2022 Zero Hedge
Biden Administration Pushes For Even More "Climate Roadblocks" For Upcoming Oil And Gas Projects Having apparently learned nothing from oil prices skyrocketing out of control, President Biden is now intent on adding even more "climate roadblocks" to upcoming oil and gas projects in the United States. The administration has "altered the official federal policy on approving new interstate natural gas facilities and pipelines, requiring a climate consideration", according to The Daily Signal . Biden''s cabinet prompted the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to begin to undertake a robust consideration of the environmental impacts of fossil fuel projects seeking approval in the United States. Meanwhile, oil continues its ascent to $100/barrel. The agency said that projects that cause 100,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year will be recognized as having a "significant impact" on the environment. It also said that, during the approval process it may now "consider the eventual emissions caused by both upstream production and eventual burning of gas transported in a pipeline requiring approval." FERC Chairman Rich Glick commented: I believe todays long overdue policy statements are essential to ensuring the Commissions natural gas siting decisions are reflective of all stakeholder concerns and interests.
