They want to download gas atom, a trillion of taxes from a crypto, Bigtech does not give a win and how to get to a minimum of divorces

Rosatom plans to transfer gas pumping into Europe into atomic energy. This is a way to reduce the noticeably expensive carbon trace of Gazprom and promote the North Stream as an environmentally friendly project

Rosatom, who entered into an agreement on cooperation with Gazprom, last autumn proposed to translate the main gas -skating installations of the monopoly to the electric drive, found out Kommersant. The energy for this should give a new nuclear power plant in Western Siberia.

• Plans belong to the medium -term and long term - both companies have not yet commented on the idea. In addition, experts indicate that Western Siberia is energy and without a new nuclear power plant, and additional electric grid capacities will also need to be laid under the project.
• The project of “atomic” pumping makes sense for Gazprom, as it is able to reduce its carbon trace. The most obvious candidate for transferring to an electric drive is just the northern gas transmission corridor from Yamal wells to the North Stream gas pipeline system to Europe.
• Now at Gazprom gas pumping stations, gas turbines are used as pumps that consume the same gas that pumping. Their total capacity in Russia is very high - about 40 GW. This is comparable with the total installed capacity of Russian nuclear power plants, although a direct comparison is impossible here. The transfer of electricity capacities from nuclear power plants will theoretically reduce the carbon trace of gas pumps by 99%, experts of the publication say.
• A cross -border carbon tax, which the EU introduces since 2026, does not yet apply to natural gas, but, given the power of the "green" lobby in the Union, this is not excluded. CO2 emissions from their own generation or third -party supplies of electricity are already subject to accounting in a carbon trace, and their price in Europe approaches 100 euros per ton.
• The key question is whether the EU is recognized as “green” atomic energy and whether to “Rosatom” to prove that the entire nuclear fuel cycle from the extraction of uranium to the burial of waste meets the requirements of the European Union. While the pendulum swayed in favor of the nuclear power plant, which the European Commissionreacted to transitional energy sources last week. They will become “green” only if the burial of waste is recognized as safe. However, this definition may not stand in the European Parliament, especially considering the accusations from the eco -activists in Greenvushg and the Protection of the interests of gas workers and nuclear workers.

What am I to me?

The fact that Rosatom offers Gazprom to download gas with electricity once again shows that the energy transition has become an important factor for the Russian economy already on the medium -term horizon. Losses from cross -border carbon regulation are still estimated at $ 1.8-3.4 billion per year, about a tenth of which will have to be electricity. But when the gas and oil is turned on, they can grow significantly. The fact that the economy of Russia is waiting in the process of energy transition, The Bell told here .

MONEY

Cryptocurrency trillion

The regulation of cryptocurrencies in Russia, which the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance are fiercely arguing about, is a matter of huge money. As the Bell found out , taxes that can be collected from the Russian crypto, the government evaluates the amount of up to 1 trillion rubles. The assessment comes from the share of Russia in this market of 12% (that is, about $ 214 billion, or 16.4 trillion rubles), and this gives a trillion of taxes even with a simplified taxation system. The real share may be lower, but, one way or another, only with legal cryptocurrency, the state could receive from 90 to 180 billion rubles a year, the analytical center under the government believes.

The rate will grow to the item

At a meeting on February 11, the Central Bank will increase the key rate on an entire interest point - to 9.5%. Such a forecast is given by economists interviewed by Bloomberg, Reuters and Forbes . The bet in this case will become maximum since May 2017. Experts call the main factors of such a solution inflation and geopolitics, the contribution of which is evaluated as approximately equivalent. With a restless political background, they do not exclude that in March the rate will go beyond 10%, but first of all it will depend on the February inflation. The average maximum deposit rate (7.8%), meanwhile, is noticeably lower than the key, the mortgage rate is noticeably higher .

Bigtech does not guarantee winning

The decade of Darts Investments in Bigtech-when it was possible to throw darts in the target with the letters Faang and make a profit regardless of the hit-it ended, writes The Wall Street Journal. The Fang+ NYSE index this year fell by 10%, and most importantly, lagged behind S&P 500, which has fallen “only” by 6.2%. Market participants observe signs of small investors' departure to the shares of other sectors and the redemption of subsidence. Theoretically, you can try to assemble a “win -win” package of a beautifully reported Microsoft, bouncing Meta, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Alphabet, but now it does not guarantee and it notes, the publication notes. We talked about what happened to Bigtech in the reporting season, about the prospects for correction in the US market and how to behave investors here .

PRACTICE

In marriage

When marriage, you can not rush, and in any case, first live together. This considerable advice is most likely incorrect, in any case, it is not true for everyone, writes The Wall Street Journal in a material, coincided with the peak of the proposals of the hand and heart before St. Valentine. Consolidated US statistics really show that the probability of a divorce of a marriage aged 20 to 30 years higher. But there is a significant exception to this rule: one of the strongest marriages - for women aged 22 to 30 years who did not enter into life together before marrying. It is not entirely clear what this is connected with, but it seems that the matter is the absence of emotional baggage aggravating life: women who lived together with her husband before marriage, the probability of a divorce is 15%higher, who lived not only with her future husband is higher.

Asbestos threat

Johnson & Johnson minority shareholders, united by the TulipShare platform, are preparing to raise the issue of complete cessation of sales of children's updates based on natural talco at the general meeting, The Guardian writes . The company stopped selling these additives in North America back in 2020 after the discovery of carcinogenic chrysobestos in them and even paid $ 2 billion in a group claim in the United States, but continues to sell in other countries. J& J insists on the safety of the prospect, and its lawyers - that the SEC should block the claims of shareholders. But at least in the British parliament they are ready to support them. The publication indicates that J& J withdrew everything related to the claims for pods to a separate company, which she bankrupt in order to limit the amount of damage, and the minority initiative threatens her with the resumption of scandalous proceedings.
