Yesterday (Jan. 20), the Commission unveiled its revised Cybersecurity Act proposal after months of behind-the-scenes negotiations that reportedly caused substantial friction between officials and member states. This sweeping update introduces measures to identify and potentially exclude "high-risk" third countries and companies from Europe's critical digital infrastructure across 18 essential sectors, including energy systems. As cybersecurity threats continue rising since the original Act took effect seven years ago, the EU is essentially drawing new battle lines in the global tech landscape.

And yes, it is true, the Russians have lost in December 1,000 people dead-not seriously wounded, dead-a day. That's over 30,000 in the month of December. In the 1980s in Afghanistan, the Soviets lost 20,000 in 10 years. Now they (Russia - ed.) lose 30,000 in one month.

The Syrian government's takeover of key oil and gas fields from the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the country's northeast has raised hopes for the revival of its dilapidated energy sector after years of war and international sanctions.

Venezuela is supposed to be the amazing future of big oil. After all, about one-fifth of the world's proven oil reserves sit in and under land and water it controls. These are vast new fields for Exxon Mobil Corp. ( NYSE: XOM) and Chevron Corp. ( NYSE: CVX). Not so fast. As the United States seized Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, word went out that President Trump will gather oil executives at the White House.

Russian forces launched one of their largest drone assaults in weeks overnight, striking multiple regions across Ukraine and inflicting more damage to the country's energy network.

Ukrainian air defenses destroyed 60 drones, while 48 managed to hit targets in 19 locations, the military said.

So, this is just putting transmission lines over this property, McDowell began. I think that the United States would gladly saw off Maryland and kick it into the Atlantic Ocean if you don't like itThey're trying to blame AI, it's not AI, it's something else. It's called growth and development of business. She continued, If there is a need for electricity generation and a conduit like power lines to bring electricity to a densely populated area of business and growth like northern Virginia, then it is not about AI, it is about economic growth for the United States, number one. Number two, it is a tree farm, not growing food. The alternative would be, some liberals put some giant solar panels on that land, and you won't be growing any Christmas trees either.
