German party could rely on far-right again for immigration vote

submitted by https://lemmy.world/u/MicroWave

Summary

Friedrich Merz, leader of Germany’s CDU party and a leading candidate for chancellor, may again rely on far-right AfD votes to pass stricter immigration laws.

This move, following a similar vote earlier in the week, has drawn widespread criticism, including from former Chancellor Angela Merkel and current Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who called it an “unforgivable mistake.”

Protests erupted across Germany against CDU’s cooperation with AfD, which has been partially classified as extremist. Immigration remains a key issue ahead of Germany’s snap election next month.

Once-illegal unions were formed in the teeth of violent suppression. Violence was met with violence. Bosses had to hire armed guards as they scurried between their estates and their fancy parties.

U.S. President Trump wants more drilling, but the oil market is already saturated with hundreds of idle oil leases sitting untapped in the Gulf of Mexico

submitted by https://slrpnk.net/u/Anyone

Of the 2,206 active leases in the Gulf of Mexico, only a fifth are producing oil, according to records from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, which regulates offshore drilling. Oil industry executives and analysts say the current number of 448 oil-producing leases is unlikely to grow significantly, even if Trump makes good on promises to expand leasing opportunities and expedite drilling permits.

The market is saturated with oil, making companies reluctant to spend more money drilling because the added product will likely push prices down, cutting into profits.

“It’s not the regulations that are getting in the way, it’s the economics,” said Hugh Daigle, a professor of petroleum engineering at the University of Texas in Austin. “It’s true that there are a bunch of undeveloped leases in the Gulf, and it’ll stay that way if we continue to see low or stagnant oil prices.”
