Euro And The US Dollar Are At Parity For The First Time In 20 Years
*CNN:* *The euro and the US dollar are at parity for the first time in 20 years* New York (CNN Business)For the first time in 20 years, the exchange rate between the euro (EUU) and the US dollar has reached parity -- meaning the two currencies are worth the same. The euro hit $1 on Tuesday, down about 12% since the start of the year. Fears of recession on the continent abound, stoked by high inflation and energy supply uncertainty caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The European Union, which received roughly 40% of its gas through Russian pipelines before the war, is at... read more

Biden energy bungle gets worse
Legal Insurrection: Perhaps the most consistent aspect of the Biden administration is its desire to gut everything President Donald Trump accomplished in office. Biden is no fan of “drill, baby, drill”.

The proposal released by the Interior Department on Friday evening would allow as many as 11 oil lease sales for offshore drilling ... read more
