U.S. shale production costs are soaring and there is no sign that tight-fisted investors will change their demands for returns rather than investment in expanding drilling. At Helmerich & Payne (HP.N), one of the largest drilling contractors, its R&D budget will rise only $1 million, from 2022's $27 million. The U.S. government expects overall oil production to reach a new peak next year, but it has several times this year cut its forecasts. Shale production declines rapidly after peaking compared to conventional oil wells, falling about 50% after the first year. Lower production rates are "a longer-term prospect," said Mike Oestmann, chief executive of shale producer Tall City Exploration.

Here are eight perspectives from across the ideological spectrum on why the Democrats were able to make it so close. And this reality was essential given the defection of Black and Latino voters to the Republican Party and its candidates. America can credit Democratic West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin’s obstruction of a democracy bill and an economic bill for the narrow Republican House majority. But now, America needs to deal with a Republican House, thanks in good part to Manchin’s obstruction.

Bharat Mistry, în vârstă de 56 de ani, spune că vecinul s-a plâns că porumbeii care își fac cuib în copacul aflat pe peluza lui murdăresc aleea de lângă. Celălalt cuplu a cerut mai întâi ca copacul să fie scos în martie, a afirmat Mistry. Mistry a căutat un grădinar sau pe cineva care să toaleteze copacii, însă vecinul său în vârstă de 28 de ani a sunat propriul arboricultor. Copacul a devenit de atunci atracție turistică după ce fotografii au apărut online, iar oameni au mers până acolo să-l vadă. Este posibil să fie tăiat copacul dacă nu supraviețuiește, spune Mistry, însă speră că va mai putea fi toaletat.

Dar, înainte de a putea stopa un potențial dezastru, trebuie să ajungă la uraniul activ. Abandonat la câteva ore după explozia reactorului nuclear sovietic în 1986, orașul care găzduia cândva lucrătorii centralei nucleare și familiile lor există de atunci ca un oraș fantomă. Dar acum bulevardul său central a fost curățat de copaci și arbuști și chiar reconectat la rețeaua electrică.
