Petrobras’ Vitória 10,000 Drillship Goes to Auction for the Second Time After First Attempt Fails and Market Awaits Improved Conditions

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

A doctor from Minas Gerais warns that sleeping with the fan pointed at the body all night is not as harmless as you think; it dries out the respiratory tract, causes mucus buildup, spreads dust mites, and can even irritate the cornea of the eyes.

Coal mine purchased for $2 million in Wyoming, the Brook Mine holds rare earth elements and critical minerals estimated at up to $37 billion, in an asset that the US is competing for with China.

Ecuadorian volcano at 6,268 meters is more than 2,000 meters closer to space than Everest, which is 8,848 meters, because the Earth is wider at the equator.
