While Germany has struggled strategically and politically in its effort to balance its climate change goals with its energy security needs, Austria has not only refrained from turning off the Russian gas taps—opting for a gradual approach--but it's also recently made the country's largest natural gas discovery in 40 years. 

Key Points: 
  • These shallow wells, cheap to drill, from proven, previously drilled holes could translate into quick cash flow for MCF Energy.
  • MCF Energy has adopted a laser focus on Europe's energy security requirements, which is most significantly emphasized by Germany, the largest economy of the European Union.
  • MCF Energy ( MCF.V ; MCFNF.QX ) believes the answer is found in domestic natural gas, the increasingly accepted bridge fuel for a green energy transition.
  • In Europe, where the energy landscape is rapidly evolving, Halliburton's contributions to oil and gas exploration and production are invaluable.

Eclipse fever has gripped North America, where many people are talking, worrying — and obsessing — about the April 8 total solar eclipse.

Key Points: 
  • Eclipse fever has gripped North America, where many people are talking, worrying — and obsessing — about the April 8 total solar eclipse.
  • In a solar eclipse, the moon passes in between Earth and the sun, casting its shadow on Earth.

Palpable excitement

  • Totality will occur along the diagonal path of total shadow for a precious few minutes.
  • The excitement around the eclipse is palpable, coming from kids to adults, locals to visitors.
  • Municipalities are worried: Niagara Falls predicts up to a million people visiting and Kingston predicts up to 500,000.

Astrological contributions

  • Babylonians thought the eclipse could foretell death for the king, while Mayans believed diabolical spirits would come out to attack people.

    Archeoastronomy uses the rare times and places of previous total solar eclipses to help us measure history

    Today’s scientists may scoff at astrology, but it was this potential astrological doom that led to ancient civilizations making increasingly accurate models of how the sun, moon and planets moved.

Historical spectacles

  • Astronomers like British Francis Baily and George Biddell Airy travelled to see the eclipse.
  • It was by studying the light from the sun’s wispy corona — only visible during eclipses — that the element helium was discovered.

A shared passion

  • The global passion to witness and experience the eclipse is one that science educators can’t ignore.
  • Across the continent, astronomers and teachers are educating people on how to watch safely using pinhole cameras or eclipse glasses.
  • However, astronomers use a similar dimming of distant stars as evidence that an exoplanet must have passed in front of it.
