As a state-controlled company explores for oil in the fragile Equatorial Margin the government struggles to balance its ecological promises with fossil fuel expansion. In Oiapoque, the stakes could not be higherCovering a densely forested area larger than Wales, the municipality and city of Oiapoque, in the state of Amapá, is an isolated yet renowned part of Brazil, thanks to a popular national saying. “From Oiapoque to Chuí” highlights the country's northernmost and southernmost points, respectively, illustrating its vastness.Although well known, it is a remote area with about 30,000 inhabitants where less than 2% of the houses have access to proper sewage treatment. One-third of its residents are Indigenous people from four ethnic groups living in 68 hamlets across three Indigenous lands, 66 of which have electricity for less than 12 hours a day.

Deutschland exportiert mitten in der Energiekrise Diesel und Öl (Tichys Einblick)
|
|
|
Auf der ganzen Welt ist hektische Betriebsamkeit ausgebrochen. Regierungen versuchen, Rohöl, Diesel und andere Raffinerieprodukte aufzukaufen und zu horten – ganz gleich, zu welchem Preis. Es ist ein Überbietungswettbewerb um zirkulierende Rohöl- und Gasreserven entbrannt, die größtenteils in den maritimen Tankerflotten gelagert werden. Wir hatten bereits darüber berichtet, dass mehrere große LNG-Tanker ihre Reiseroute, die

How sheltered really is the US from the Gulf oil supply crisis? (The Guardian)

As Trump suggests Middle East oil disruption is not his problem, experts say talk of US 'energy independence' is a smokescreen – with consumers paying the priceA month has passed since the US and Israel's war on Iran all but closed the strait of Hormuz, through which about a fifth of the world's oil supplies typically flow. Prices have surged, amid fears of sustained disruption to global supplies.Donald Trump argues this is not his country's problem. “Go get your own oil!” the president urged countries, including the UK, earlier this week. The US has “plenty”, he added. The US is “totally independent” of the Middle East, the president claimed in a prime-time address on Wednesday. “We don't need their oil.” Continue reading......

Of course we shouldn′t drill for more oil in the North Sea – we cancelled further exploitation for a reason | Bill McGuire (The Guardian)

We are at a critical point in the climate emergency and already struggling to meet emissions reduction targets. The UK government must hold its nerveWhile the UK is only marginally involved in the war in the Middle East in military terms, the ramifications for this country are still potentially huge. And nowhere more so than in the energy sector. It isn't a surprise, then, that commentary has focused on the impact potential policy interventions might have on the cost of energy to UK homes and businesses, and on whether the decisions the government takes will make the nation more – or less – energy-secure.The usual suspects in Reform and the Tory party have used the war as an excuse to renew demands that the North Sea be sucked dry of its remaining oil and gas, in order – they say – to end reliance on fossil fuel imports and to guarantee energy security. More sensible heads have argued that the North Sea basin is a field that is way past peak production, and that has only limited amounts of oil an...
