German Chancellor: The Russian president is almost alone in the world

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that the “astonishingly clear words” the Group of 20 leaders agreed on in their joint statement Wednesday shows that Vladimir Putin is increasingly isolated over the war.

 

“The Russian president is almost alone in the world with his policy and has no strong alliance partner,” Scholz told reporters on the sidelines of the meeting in Bali, Indonesia.

 

President Joe Biden earlier pledged “full US support” for a Polish investigation after a rocket struck a village just over the border from Ukraine and killed two people. He said, “preliminary information” suggested the projectile was not fired from Russia, which denied its forces had aimed missiles at targets along the Polish frontier. China urged restraint.

BAKKEN ENERGY ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH THE GRAND FORKS AIR FORCE BASE

Parties sign a cooperative development agreement

Grand Forks, North Dakota, Nov. 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bakken Energy, an innovative developer of affordable clean hydrogen at scale has entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the Grand Forks Air Force Base (GFAFB) to explore options for future applications of clean hydrogen. Both parties signed the CRADA Tuesday at the North Spark Defense Laboratory.

This agreement is part of Bakken Energy’s long-term goal of becoming the largest producer of affordable clean hydrogen while creating partnerships with neighboring communities and organizations that can benefit from a reliable supply of low-cost hydrogen.

“Public and private partnerships are essential to creating carbon-neutral solutions in real world applications,” said Lt. Col. Michael Dunn of the North Spark Defense Laboratory. “Energy is a big part of mission readiness and alternative energy sources provide flexibility for operations. The Department of the Air Force is always looking for ways to implement alternative energy solutions to benefit the environment and to keep us mission ready. We look forward to exploring practical uses of hydrogen with Bakken Energy.”

“The GFAFB is a welcomed addition to the Heartland Hydrogen Hub we are developing with the states of North Dakota, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Montana,” said Steve Lebow, Chairman and Founder of Bakken Energy.  “Our Heartland Hydrogen Hub is a leading contender for regional hydrogen hub funding for three reasons. First, the Hub is built on the foundation of our large-scale affordable hydrogen production. Second, Bakken Energy’s partnering with the MHA Nation to solve the flaring problem on the reservation. Lastly, our commitment to build the connective infrastructure from supply to regional hydrogen demand. The GFAFB partnership adds another important attribute: innovating new applications for our clean hydrogen.”

“As a business, our focus, and the focus of our Heartland Hydrogen Hub, is large scale production for large scale demand,” explained Bakken Energy CEO Mike Hopkins. “Hence our partnerships with the leaders in long haul trucking, Cummins, and Schneider. Trucking will be the largest consumer of hydrogen as they transition from diesel, and we will be there to serve that need. At the same time, we want to be part of the pioneering work needed to realize the Department of Energy’s vision of a hydrogen economy. We couldn’t be more pleased and prouder to partner with GFAFB in cutting edge research and development.”

Milli Majlis to adopt a statement on resolution of French Senate-UPDATED

A commission was established in the Milli Majlis regarding the statement on the resolution of the French Senate, APA reports.

 

The commission was established at the suggestion of Speaker Sahiba Gafarova.

 

The chairman of the commission was Samad Seyidov, and the members of the commission were Zahid Oruj, Asim Mollazade, Sadagat Valiyeva, Ramin Mammadov, and Sabir Hajiyev.

 

“I suggest that we accept the statement of the Milli Majlis regarding the resolution adopted in the French Senate,” said the chair of the Azerbaijani Parliament Sahiba Gafarova at today’s meeting of Milli Majlis, APA reports.

 

Sahiba Gafarova suggested making amendments to the agenda of the meeting of parliament: “During the 44-day war and after the war, we very well remember the attempt of the French government to accept documents against Azerbaijan in international organizations. In every line of the resolution passed in the Senate yesterday, there is hatred toward our people. This resolution adopted in the French Senate without any moral, legal and political rights shows that they are ready to harm the relations between France and Azerbaijan and to attack the relations between the European Union and Azerbaijan. We call on France to stop trying to show Armenia as a victim rather than an aggressor. We are starting to discuss the issue”.
