“Scarce and finicky public chargers are among the biggest reasons people hesitate to buy electric cars. So when Elon Musk, the chief executive of Tesla, agreed last year to open the company’s well-regarded Supercharger network to vehicles from other carmakers, many drivers and industry experts celebrated the decision. But more than 12 months later, Tesla’s network, with nearly 30,000 fast-charging plugs in the United States and Canada, remains largely inaccessible to most people who don’t drive Teslas because of software delays and hardware shortages.”

“CNPC, Asia’s top oil producer, is reviewing its global strategy as it looks to revive dealmaking, eyeing gas liquefaction and deepsea drilling as well as building on its record of producing more from aging wells, the head of its research arm said. China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC) and its listed arm PetroChina face stagnant oil output at home and a scarcity of new projects globally to boost reserves even as slowing economic growth and surging EV usage erode domestic demand, although mounting geopolitical barriers limit its room to manoeuvre.”

“The Labour government will not challenge a court bid by environmental groups to block the development of the Rosebank oilfield in the North Sea, which they said violated the UK’s obligation to target net zero emissions. The government stressed that Thursday’s decision, which came a day before a court hearing in Edinburgh, did not mean that Rosebank’s licence, issued by the previous Conservative government, would be withdrawn.”

“Vice President Kamala Harris said she wouldn’t halt fracking if elected president, reversing her prior opposition to the technique used to produce most US oil and gas today. “As vice president, I did not ban fracking,” Harris said in an interview on CNN, her most definitive statement on the issue since becoming the Democratic nominee. “As president, I will not ban fracking.””

Ari Natter and Jennifer A Dlouhy “The Sino–Russian relationship is among the key variables of power dynamics in global climate governance and the changing tides of Russia’s war in Ukraine. In this chapter, we focus on how this relationship will shape the implementation of global climate responsibility in the coming years. Taking a future-oriented approach to politics, we examine plausible alternative developments for Sino–Russian cooperation in the Arctic and beyond, to shed light on how the changing shape of the Sino–Russian partnership might impact the implementation of climate responsibility or its opposite: climate irresponsibility. In light of the urgent need to tackle climate change and the severity of the consequences, there is only a thin line between climate responsibility and irresponsibility: a neutral area between the two no longer exists.”
