Next time the Government tries to tell you that drilling for more oil & gas in the North Sea will lower your bills and give the UK energy security, read this👇

A Ukrainian drone has struck an oil storage depot in western Russia, causing a massive blaze, officials said, as Kyiv’s forces apparently extended their attacks on Russian soil ahead of the war’s two-year anniversary.
Four oil reservoirs with a total capacity of 6,000 cubic metres were set on fire after the drone reached #Klintsy, a city of some 70,000 people located about 60 kilometres from the Ukrainian border, according to the local governor and state news agency Tass.

🛢 🇺🇸 🇮🇷 CONFIRMED: #Iran’s Navy confirmed the seizure of the American oil tanker, ST NIKOLAS (9524475); formerly known as the SUEZ RAJAN, carrying #Iraqi oil in the Sea of Oman, this morning.
This tanker was #stolen about a year ago, #by the US #government for having transported a million barrels of Iranian #oil in connection to a US company, and Iran retook it.
Iranian Navy's Public Relations announced that the seizure was made based on a court order.
According to Sky News, the tanker was boarded by "armed men" wearing military uniforms and masks. IRI claims that the tanker contains stolen oil from Syria and Iraq and it will be confiscated.
This seems to be a response to Americans doing the same with rabkers containing Iranian oil and auctioning them on the market

Dakota Pipeline Protest
ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE: The protest was to prevent a giant oil company from building a pipeline under a river on the reservation that was their only source of water. The oil company won. The pipeline was built. There was an alternate route the oil company could have built - but they insisted on the reservation river route.
Biden has a chance to show that the world’s biggest exporter of oil and gas is actually going to change its ways. It’s not clear if he’ll take it
More than 200 nations pledged last week in Dubai that they would be “transitioning away from from fossil fuels”. Some cheered and some scoffed; we’ll soon know if the world’s biggest producer of oil and gas – the United States – meant what it signed, or if it was just more (literal) hot air.
That’s because the US Department of Energy (DoE) must decide whether to stop rubber-stamping the single biggest fossil-fuel expansion on earth, the buildout of natural gas exports from the Gulf of Mexico. So far they have granted every export license anyone has requested, and as a result the US has become the biggest gas exporter on planet earth. If they keep it up, the veteran energy analyst Jeremy Symons says that before long US liquefied natural gas exports will produce more greenhouse gases than everything that happens on the continent of Europe.
They should have stopped long ago – in part because of the damage these giant terminals are doing to the people, the fish and the air of Louisiana and Texas. But if the DoE keeps approving these licenses now, it will fly in the face of their promise in Dubai. “Transitioning away from fossil fuels” doesn’t mean stopping all use of coal, gas and oil tomorrow; sadly, that’s impossible. But it clearly means not building new infrastructure to expand the production and sale of hydrocarbons.
That’s why 230 groups, including the ones we represent, have called on the DoE to pause all new export licenses until they fully revamp their procedures for figuring whether these permits are, as the statute requires, in “the public interest”. At the moment, the government uses a 2014 standard for making that determination – but since 2014 the price of renewables has dropped like a rock, and the temperature has soared higher than any time in human history.

... using argan oil for salad... it is a fruit of the argan tree.
Sideroxylon spinosum, known as argan (Tashelhit: ⴰⵔⴳⴰⵏ, romanized: argan) or Argania, is a species of flowering plant. It is a tree endemic to the calcareous semi-desert Sous valley of southwestern Morocco and to the region of Tindouf in southwestern Algeria.[2][3] Argan trees grow to 8–10 m (26–33 ft) high and live up to approximately 200 years. They are thorny, with gnarled trunks and wide spreading crown. The crown has a circumference of about 70 m (230 ft) and the branches lean towards the ground.
Netanyahu is not a dumb man and knows that the requirement to free all hostages will never happen. So now he has carte blanche to keep on killing until Palestine is no more. Oh, and Israel gets the oil fields.

"I will stand up in scourt and fight this; and if Shell refuses to stop #drilling, I refuse to stop fighting for #climate #justice," one #activist named in the #suit said.
The most powerful have always tried to abuse the law for their own purposes in order to prevent protests against #injustice. This has forced the protest #movement into the #underground and strengthened #resistance. In the French #Revolution, the powerful were ultimately surprised by the pent-up #anger against the abuse of the #law.
