US Government Investing $36 Million on Ocean-Based Carbon Capture
US Government , Investing $36 Million on , Ocean-Based Carbon Capture.
'Time' reports that the United States Department of Energy
(DOE) is looking to distribute $36 million toward projects
aimed at scaling up ocean-based carbon removal technology.
11 scientific projects across the U.S. will receive additional
funding to help determine how much ocean-based carbon
capture could mitigate the impact of climate change.
'Time' reports that oceans could
theoretically be manipulated to
absorb billions of tons of carbon dioxide.
Current experimental methods include
alkaline materials like lime being dumped into
the water to consume greenhouse gases.
Other approaches include creating algal
blooms or sinking plant biomass in order to
prevent it from decomposing and releasing CO2.

'Time' reports that the current array of
ocean-based carbon capture technologies have only
been able to remove negligible amounts of carbon.
.
The different approaches all require significant
bolstering before they could prove to make
a difference in the fight against climate change.
The DOE's ARPA-E office, which is dedicated to developing new
technologies, launched a program to create sensors and computer
models to determine the efficacy of ocean-based carbon capture.
Reaching President Bidenâs ambitious decarbonization goals and avoiding the worst impacts of climate change will require a wide range of innovative climate solutions, Jennifer Granholm, U.S. Secretary of Energy, via 'Time'.

like improving energy efficiency
to novel applications like utilizing

Biden Signs Bill , Banning Russian Uranium Imports.
The U.S. president signed the bipartisan bill into law on March 13, 'The Guardian' reports. .
The measure is viewed as another avenue of pressure against Vladimir Putin's attack on Ukraine.

Enriched uranium is used to fuel nuclear power plants. Russia supplies the world
with most of it, 'The Guardian' reports.
Approximately 24% of the uranium used by nuclear power plants in the U.S. is provided by Russia.
The import ban will begin in 90 days.
However, the Department of Energy
(DOE) will be permitted to issue
waivers if supplies run low until 2028.
U.S. National Security Adviser
Jake Sullivan said the new law will... .
... âstrengthen our nationâs energy and economic security by reducing, and ultimately eliminating,
our reliance on Russia for civilian nuclear power.â.
According to a U.S. House report, one
U.S. conversion facility will soon be able to provide about â40% of U.S. market demand in the near term.â.

Meanwhile, Canada, France, Japan and other countries will help America sustain its uranium supply via an âallied alternative,â said Kathryn Huff, the DOEâs assistant secretary for nuclear

Ukrainian officials press Biden to lift the ban on using U.S. arms against Russia, citing hindrance in targeting Russian forces near Kharkiv. Russian incursion sees tens of thousands of troops moving in, outmatching stretched Ukrainian forces. Despite observing Russian buildup, Ukraine couldn't strike due to U.S. policy. Officials meet U.S. lawmakers to seek support.

âNew York Timesâ Poll , Indicates Trouble for Biden.
Donald Trump was found to be "leading in
five out of six swing states," 'The Hill' reports. .
Wisconsin is the only swing
state where Biden is leading.
In 2020, Biden won all six swing states.
The May 13 poll also indicated that support for Biden is dwindling among young voters,
as well as Black and Hispanic voters.
Whatâs so impressive about this is
polls have historically underestimated
Trumpâs support, not overestimated
Trumpâs support, Ford OâConnell, a Republican strategist, via 'The Hill'.
And then if you couple this poll
with nearly 100,000 people
showing up in Arctic blue New
Jersey, this is a disaster for Biden, Ford OâConnell, a Republican strategist, via 'The Hill'.

Biden supporters, however, say that polling conducted this far away from election day should be taken with a grain of salt.
The only consistency in recent
public polls is inconsistency. , Geoff Garin, Biden campaign pollster, via 'The Hill'.
These results need to be weighed against
the 30-plus polls that show Biden up and
gaining â which is exactly why drawing
broad conclusions about the race based
on results from one poll is a mistake. , Geoff Garin, Biden campaign pollster, via 'The Hill'.
The reality is that many voters are not paying
close attention to the election and have not
started making up their minds â a dynamic
also reflected in todayâs poll. , Geoff Garin, Biden campaign pollster, via 'The Hill'.
These voters will decide this election,
and only the Biden campaign is doing
the work to win them over, Geoff Garin, Biden campaign pollster, via 'The Hill'

Hamas criticised US President Joe Biden on Sunday for linking a Gaza cease-fire to the release of Israelis held captive by the Palestinian group. Biden stated on Saturday that a cease-fire in Gaza could occur as soon as âtomorrowâ if Hamas released Israelis in its custody. Hamas deemed this stance as a step backward from the outcomes of previous negotiations. They noted that their approval of a proposal, facilitated by mediators from Egypt and Qatar, had been done with the knowledge of the United States.

16 Republican AGs Sue Biden Administration , for Pausing Liquid Natural Gas Exports.
The lawsuit was filed on March 21.
The states claim that the Biden administration
does not have the authority to deny
"federal permits for new liquid natural
gas (LNG) exports," 'The Hill' reports. .
The 16 attorneys general also allege
that the pause goes against Congress.
This ban disregards statutory mandates,
flouts the normal regulatory process, upends
the industry, disrupts Plaintiffsâ economies,
and subverts our constitutional structure, Via lawsuit.
These unlawful actions leave Plaintiffs
with no choice but to once more turn
to the courts to enforce the law, Via lawsuit.
The suit goes on to allege that the ban is
motivated by politics and comes "in the midst of an election year, and after a sustained pressure campaign from billionaire conglomerates, celebrities, âinfluencers,â and banks.".
The timing of the decision, in an election
year, raises the likelihood that political
motivations drove the action, House Oversight Committee Republicans,
in a letter to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm.
LNG, which is often considered to be
"a bridge between coal and renewables," was first pushed by the Obama administration.

President Biden's pause on permits signifies
a stark contrast from his predecessor.
In February, the House passed a bill that would
