′I′ve not had proper food for days′: migrant workers leave India′s cities as Iran war fuel crisis deepens (The Guardian)

Gas shortages and rising food prices mean many who came to the capital for work cannot afford to eat. Going home is now their only optionAt 9am on a Saturday, 35-year-old Raju Prasad rushes through Anand Vihar railway station in Delhi, a heavy bag slung over his shoulder. Beside him, his wife clutches their youngest daughter with one arm and a white plastic bucket with the other. Their three other children trail behind – one dragging a trolley bag, the others holding on to whatever little they can manage. With Prasad's brother, the family of seven is leaving for Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh.They had moved to India's capital nine months ago. The couple worked as ragpickers and were paid about 500 rupees a day (about £4), working long 10-hour shifts. But any dreams of building a more secure future in Delhi and sending their children to school have been lost, as rising food costs and the impact of the Middle East crisis on fuel availability and prices have meant the past few weeks have been a fight for basi...

Germany's Energy Crisis And The National-Conservative Turn
Submitted by Thomas Kolbe
If the Union had been waiting for a favorable moment to save face and quietly escape the energy-policy fiasco, that moment has probably arrived. On Thursday, the European Parliament formed a broad coalition of the Union-backed EPP faction with the national conservatives. The goal: initiate a migration turnaround, prevent citizen chat controls, and soften the grotesque Supply Chain Act.
Among the national-conservative parties in the EU Parliament is also the AfD faction, showing that the firewall against this party is a German phenomenon—a product of hysterical left-green media makers and bloated politicians of the firewall cartel, who fear competition for their privileges.
Never has the opportunity been more favorable to leave the paralyzing logic of the firewall behind once and for all and to form national-civic coalitions than today.
Time is pressing. Germans face a wave of inflation already visible at ga...

ASP Isotopes Offers Helium Alternative As Qatar Export Crisis Looms
ASP Isotopes could provide timely relief for the global helium shortage.
In a new research note from Canaccord Genuity analyst George Gianarikas, he highlights the company's Virginia Gas Project in South Africa as a potential new source of supply just as Qatar's helium exports face major disruption.
The warning comes shortly after we reported on Qatar's Ras Laffan complex damage and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which together threaten roughly one-third of global helium output. Helium remains essential for semiconductor manufacturing, MRI machines, aerospace systems, and quantum computing. It has no practical substitute in chip fabrication, where it cools wafers and detects microscopic leaks.
ASP Isotopes' Virginia Gas Project stands out because of its unusually high helium concentrations. The 1,870 sq. km deposit averages 3.4% helium, with peaks reaching 12%. That compares with Qatar's typical 0.01% and the U.S. ...
