Chevron agrees to buy Hess for $53 billion

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 21:58:11 GMT

New York (CNN) — Chevron announced Monday that it has agreed to buy rival Hess in yet another oil industry consolidation deal.Cash-rich oil giants are taking advantage of high prices and surging profits to snap up assets and boost returns for shareholders even as pressure builds for them to invest more in renewable energy.The deal, worth $53 billion plus debt, would give Chevron even greater access to US shale production in Texas’ Permian Basin, a part of the industry where Chevron (CVX) has been a leader for years. Hess (HES) also has large oil assets in Guyana, which Chevron said would help grow its production over the next decade.“This combination positions Chevron to strengthen our long-term performance and further enhance our advantaged portfolio by adding world-class assets,” said Chevron Chairman and CEO Mike Wirth.Wirth said Chevron and Hess will be able to merge seamlessly, sharing “similar values and cultures,” including a commitment to “lowering carbon,” although env...

Larry Hogan latest to pull back from Harvard over student groups’ letter blaming Israel for Hamas attacks

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 21:58:11 GMT

(CNN) — Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan on Monday became the latest notable figure to pull back from Harvard after student groups there signed a statement blaming Israel for the deadly attacks by Hamas earlier this month.In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, the Republican shared a letter he sent to Harvard notifying the school he would be pulling out of fellowships with its Kennedy School of Government and Chan School of Public Health.Hogan said that while he was “looking forward to sharing leadership lessons with the next generation of leaders at Harvard next month,” he “cannot condone the dangerous anti-Semitism that has taken root on your campus, especially by more than 30 Harvard student organizations attempting to justify and celebrate Hamas’ terrorism against innocent Israeli and American civilians.”The backlash against Harvard began October 7 after the Harvard Palestine Solidarity Committee, a coalition of student groups, released a statem...

However, Blinken met with Xi while in Beijing and one of the officials described Wang’s trip as “a reciprocal visit after Secretary Blinken’s trip to Beijing in June.”Tensions between the two countries have been high but the Biden administration has been making an effort to push dialog with Beijing. Wang’s trip comes as the US is looking to prevent the Israel-Hamas war escalating into a wider conflict in the Middle East and as the Ukraine-Russia war continues.“This visit by Wang Yi is part of ongoing efforts to maintain open channels of c...

North Atlantic right whale population levels off, but they’re still ‘swimming along the cliff of extinction’

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 21:58:11 GMT

The North Atlantic right whale population might be leveling off after years of decline, but the critically endangered species still faces significant threats as the whales keep “swimming along the cliff of extinction,” according to advocates.A new estimate from the North Atlantic Right Whale Consortium has found that the North Atlantic right whale population was around 356 whales last year.In 2021, their population estimate was around 364 animals North Atlantic right whales, primarily due to the recent cataloging of 18 calves born that year.“While certainly more encouraging than a continued decline, the ‘flattening’ of the population estimate indicates that human activities are killing as many whales as are being born into the population, creating an untenable burden on the species,” said Heather Pettis, a research scientist in the Anderson Cabot Center for Ocean Life at the New England Aquarium.There have been two detected deaths of right whales ...

CTE risk increases with longer rugby careers: Boston University study

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 21:58:11 GMT

A rugby player’s risk for developing CTE increases the longer their career lasts, according to a new landmark study involving Boston University researchers.Scientists from BU, the University of Glasgow and University of Sydney have found new evidence that links playing rugby union — either at the amateur or elite level — with developing the degenerative brain condition chronic traumatic encephalopathy.Much of the focus around CTE has involved American football players, and their exposure to repeated head impacts and concussion head injuries. Researchers are only able to diagnose CTE in those who have died.This latest study looked at the results of postmortem brain examinations of 31 former amateur and elite rugby union players whose brains were donated for research purposes in the U.S., United Kingdom, and Australia. CTE was found in 68% of the brains examined, and in both amateur and elite players.The risk for developing CTE was tied with the length of a player...

Robbins: Biden stands firm against Hamas cheerleaders

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 21:58:11 GMT

The narrative that President Biden is too old to be president isn’t holding up all that well, taking more than a few hits in recent months. Biden’s arduous secret trip to Kiev to demonstrate solidarity with Ukraine while it fends off Vladimir Putin’s barbarism didn’t exactly advance the narrative. His visit to Israel while it is besieged by thousands of Hamas rockets, landing on Air Force One at an airport easily reached by the Iranian proxy’s missiles, set the narrative back even further. If this is what it means to be too old to lead the free world, one wonders whether there is anything a younger president could do to make Americans prouder.Biden’s personal courage was accompanied by wisdom, all displayed with the knowledge that his immediate, resolute commitment to Israel would unleash rage from the predictable quarters. The leaders of Arab countries that American taxpayers help sustain nonetheless refused to meet with Biden on his Mideast trip, fearful of being toppled by the sp...
