De entree van Kamala Harris maakt de Amerikaanse verkiezingsrace uiterst onvoorspelbaar. Partijgenoten dachten tot voor kort dat zij geen presidentieel materiaal was. Dat lijkt een verkeerde inschatti...

"A major Canadian oil field in the province of Saskatchewan would likely have reached the end of its life eight years ago. But thanks to carbon capture and storage..the field could still be producing 1.5 million barrels of oil annually by the year 2100" www.desmog.com/2024/06/10/c...
