President Biden last week approved the massive Willow oil drilling project in Alaska, giving ConocoPhillips permission to extract as much as 600 million barrels of oil over 30 years and breaking his campaign promise of "no more drilling on federal lands. Period." (Yes, he said it four times for emphasis.) China has been permitting new coal-fired power plants at a staggering rate of two per week.

The states said the automakers had failed to take adequate steps to address the alarming rate of theft and urged them to accelerate the implementation of the software upgrade and provide free alternative protective measures for owners whose cars cannot support the software upgrade.

Novak Djokovic said he had no regrets about missing tournaments at Indian Wells and Miami due to his Covid-19 vaccination status but hoped that he would be allowed into the United States later this year for the US Open.

Moderna´s vaccine has proven more durable and protective against severe illness than Pfizer´s in real-world studies. Yet the Administration has consistently paid Pfizer $3 to $4 more per dose. As a result, Pfizer has received more than a billion dollars more from the government than Moderna. If not for the Moderna-OWS cooperation, the vaccine rollout would have been much slower.

GitHub Copilot is designed to keep the developer's mind in the flow by suggesting code or predicting whole methods, similar to writing an email or doing a Google search where the next few words are suggested.

BRUSSELS, March 20 (Reuters) - European Union member states have agreed to supply one million rounds of artillery ammunition to Ukraine, Estonian Defence Minister Hanno Pevkur said on the sidelines of a meeting with his EU counterparts in Brussels on Monday.

Although most imagine coders tapping on a keyboard in a darkened room, in practice they are writing, researching and bringing systems and components together, which means repeatedly stopping to find more information.

Pfizer has said it will charge a similar price after vaccines move to the commercial market, which is expected later this year. The subject of the Vermont Senator´s hearing is Moderna´s plan to quadruple the price of its Covid vaccine to $110 to $130 per dose when U.S. government purchases stop.

Congress should also require clawbacks of executive compensation and dividends at failed banks. If bankers are required in the future to return some of what they have gained from their poor decisions, it might have a sobering effect.

The basis for this claim is that states agree when they join to send postcards every two years to people, whom the system identifies as eligible but unregistered to vote, with information on how they can sign up.

A 59-year-old man was arrested last week for allegedly double voting in the 2020 presidential election. Florida authorities brought the felony charge because of information submitted by Virginia to a national database called ERIC, which is short for the Electronic Registration Information Center.

March 23 (Reuters) - The United States has designated one former and two current Paraguayan officials for what Washington said was their involvement in "significant corruption," making the officials and their families ineligible for entry into the North American country.

The very same day, Florida pulled out of the fraud detection consortium, along with Missouri and West Virginia, capitulating for political reasons to bizarre conspiracy theories peddled by those who still claim that former president Donald Trump won reelection in 2020.

The U.S.
action targets former director of the Paraguayan Civil Aviation Authority, Edgar Melgarejo, current member of the Paraguayan Panel for the Discipline of Judges and Prosecutors, Jorge Bogarin, and current Court Clerk Vicente Ferreira, State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel said in a statement.

We should feel some optimism that the barriers to addressing it are no longer technological but almost entirely political - and because the worst-case temperature-rise scenarios scientists once feared are no longer considered very likely thanks to the growth in renewable energy, electric vehicles and other zero-emission technology. Though 1.5 degrees of warming would be horrible enough, every fraction of a degree we go beyond that would mean greater human suffering and environmental destruction.

Before the pandemic, Moderna developed its novel mRNA platform with $3.8 billion in private investment. In spring 2020, it raised another $1.3 billion in private capital to scale up manufacturing. Sanders claims that taxpayers paid to develop Moderna´s Covid vaccine, and the government thus should be able to dictate its price.

The attacks on the database aren´t really about ERIC.
They´re part of a broader, multiyear campaign to bully elections officials. Now many of these same people are trying to destroy one of the country´s best tools for fighting the rare cases of voter fraud that do occur. Demagogues have planted seeds of doubt in the minds of Americans that their votes don´t count.
