The Onion of Kensington
This article appears in the February 2025 issue of The American Prospect magazine. Subscribe here. Stepping off at the Allegheny subway station in Philadelphia’s Kensington neighborhood, visitors are immediately met with a grim reality. Sidewalks are littered with trash and used needles. Every few hundred feet, somebody is slumped over in a trance-like state. Those who are awake are so fixated on preparing and shooting up drugs that they don’t even acknowledge or notice passersby.

200,000 Steps on the Lone Star Hiking Trail
I grew up in northwest Austin at the edge of the Texas Hill Country, where hiking through the woods and playing in creeks were daily activities. So, I’ve always been an “outdoors person.” After moving to Houston for a journalism job, I quickly began running and biking along the city’s mostly concrete-lined bayous.
Frontera
Following the border formed by the Rio Grande and moving cross-country to the Pacific Ocean, Frontera is a lavishly illustrated book that offers a comprehensive examination of the nearly two thousand-mile border shared by the United States and Mexico. The region has a reputation for being a dangerous place, with US Border Patrol and Mexican authorities playing cat and mouse with smugglers and undocumented migrants, and with drug cartels inflicting unspeakable violence on the region.
Evropa se ne može oslanjati na američki gas u narednim godinama
Sirovine 30. oktobar 2022, 11:35 Evropa je uspela zalihama iz SAD da popuni prazninu koju su ostavili manji tokovi ruskog gasa, ali to neće biti dovoljno. Dok američki gas sada čini 40 odsto evropskog uvoza tečnog prirodnog gasa, on će činiti samo delić deficita iz Rusije sledećeg leta, kaže BloombergNEF. To znači da će sledeće godine biti teže popuniti zalihe kada je izvesno da Evropu čeka duži period bez ruskog gasa.
Европа тешко може да се потпре на американски гас за следната година
Суровини 28. Октомври 2022, 09:45 Европа прилично успеа да ја пополни празнината што ја оставија намалените текови на рускиот гас, со испораки од САД, но сепак, тие испораки нема да можат во целост да го покријат недостатокот. Додека американскиот гас сега сочинува 40 отсто од увозот на течен природен гас во Европа, тој ќе надокнади само дел од дефицитот од Русија следното лето, прогнозира BloombergNEF.

Texas Shale Gas Price Drops Toward Zero Over Congested Pipelines
Natural gas prices in the Permian Basin of West Texas are plunging toward zero as booming production overwhelms pipeline networks, creating a regional glut of this fuel. Gas in an area of the vast Permian known as Waha traded for as little as 20 cents to 70 cents per million British thermal units on Monday, traders said. That compares with the US benchmark futures contract that’s trading around $5.20 and European prices close to $28.
