Biden administration raises costs to drill on 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.

Quick Glance: Parents' Struggle Against School Refusal Due to Fear for Children
  • Kerry Grantham, a parent from Bray, Co Wicklow, searches the dictionary for the term 'school refusal', but she does not find the definition.

  • Education experts use various terms for distressed young people who feel unable to attend school - school refusal, school phobia, or school reluctance - all agreeing that this is becoming a growing concern.

  • Parents face significant challenges as their children may be anxious, have an undiagnosed condition, experience bullying, or encounter issues with teachers. Support is often lacking, leading to battles to access alternative services.

  • Grantham continues to worry about the future, not just her son's education, but also the developmental impact. When she had to return to work, he would spend time alone in his room. She once confided in a friend that it felt like he had been forgotten by the world.

Quick Glance: Magnitude 4.8 Earthquake Rocks New York City and Northeast US
  • An unusual East Coast earthquake startled millions from New York to rural New England. Over 42 million people may have felt the midmorning quake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.8.

  • While causing no widespread damage, the earthquake led to evacuations in Newark, New Jersey, and infrastructure inspections across the region. Flights were diverted, trains slowed, and tunnel traffic stopped.

  • Although no major damages were reported, the earthquake caused some disruptions. The area near the epicenter experienced minor effects, including the collapse of a historic site. There were also over a dozen aftershocks reported in the region.

  • President Joe Biden offered assistance, while New York City reported no major safety or infrastructure issues. Engineers emphasized that New York skyscrapers are made of high-strength materials and designed to sway slowly to withstand impacts. Even the delicately placed eggs in a sculpture at a Chinatown art gallery remained unharmed during the quake.
