thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/4590251-biden-administation-raises-costs-drill-public-lands/
Quick Glance: Biden Raises Drilling Costs on Federal Lands, Trump Courts Oil Donors
- The Biden administration has finalized a new rule requiring oil companies to pay at least ten times more for drilling on federal lands to generate more revenue for taxpayers.
- While Trump discusses easing drilling regulations with energy executives, the US is historically pumping a lot of crude oil, complicating regulations for Trump and Biden's climate agenda.
- The rule mandates higher bonds and royalties for fossil fuels on federal lands to better compensate taxpayers and cover the costs of cleaning up abandoned wells.
- In addition to reshaping fossil fuel production on federal lands, the administration has advanced renewable energy development on these tracts and significantly reduced rents and fees for clean energy projects.

cnn.com/2024/04/17/politics/us-reimpose-oil-sanctions-venezuela/
Quick Glance: US to Reinstate Sanctions on Venezuela’s Oil and Gas Sector
- The United States will reimpose sanctions on Venezuela’s oil and gas sector due to the Maduro government's failure to allow 'an inclusive and competitive election' to take place.
- The US government decided not to renew the temporary authorization (General License 44) that allowed transactions with Venezuela's national oil and gas sector without fear of sanctions, citing the Maduro government's failure to uphold key areas of the 'Barbados Agreement.'
- While the impact of revoking the authorization could not be quantified, another authorization from 2022 allowing the oil company Chevron to resume limited resource extraction operations in Venezuela will remain in place.
- Despite reinstating sanctions, a US official emphasized that this should not be seen as a final decision on Venezuela's electoral capabilities, and efforts to support a better future for the country will continue.

washingtonpost.com/world/2024/04/08/mount-etna-smoke-rings-volcano/
Quick Glance: Rare Sight: Volcanoes Emit Smoke Rings
- Images and videos from the past few days show Europe’s tallest active volcano, Mount Etna, blowing out near-perfect circular smoke rings into the Sicilian sky.
- The smoke rings are coming from a small vent on Mount Etna’s southeast crater and are caused by the constant release of gases.
- These volcanic smoke rings are extremely rare, formed when gas bubbles are pushed through the narrow central part of volcanic conduits and then wrap around themselves to be propelled hundreds of meters into the air.
- An ash cloud from Mount Etna's eruption in August last year resulted in flight cancellations, delays, and diversions, impacting millions during the holiday season.
