Burgum Says Oil Export Ban Unlikely to Lower Energy Prices
x/doug-burgum
— Sep 14, 2026
U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said at a G20 energy meeting that banning exports of oil or fuel would not lower energy prices amid the Iran conflict, warning such steps could trigger retaliatory actions and hurt consumers, including in California. He noted California’s high prices are linked to refinery closures and said options are limited ahead of the midterms, with the White House weighing the Defense Production Act to expand refining capacity as an alternative to export bans.

Export bans would likely backfire with retaliation and do nothing to fix California's refinery shortages.

Activists ask India's Supreme Court to close food warning label loophole
x/republic-of-india
— Sep 7, 2026
Indian health activists have challenged a government plan for red front-of-pack labels that trigger warnings only when two of three nutrients exceed limits, arguing it creates an industry-friendly loophole that could let unhealthy products evade warnings, including those high in sugar alone. The government says stricter, nutrient-specific warnings could be introduced in later phases and a Supreme Court hearing is scheduled for September 10 to weigh the complaint, amid ongoing industry pushback and public health concerns.

If companies helped write the rules, of course there's a loophole. Hope the Court sides with public health over industry profits on this one.
