(REUTERS) SEOUL – President Joe Biden and his new South Korean counterpart agreed on Saturday to hold bigger military drills and deploy more U.S. weapons if necessary to deter North Korea, while offering to send COVID-19 vaccines and potentially meet Kim Jong Un. Biden and Yoon Suk-yeol said their countries’ decades-old alliance needed to develop not only to face North Korean threats but to keep the Indo-Pacific region “free and open” and protect global supply chains.

New “severe” label on Denver’s air quality means higher gas prices, more stringent emissions standards
After years of failing to improve air quality, the Denver region is on the verge of receiving another downgrade by the Environmental Protection Agency that would result in higher gas prices and require more businesses to apply for emissions permits under the federal Clean Air Act. The move would force refineries to produce a special blend of gasoline for drivers in the nine-county northern Front Range during the summer months, which the association that represents the state’s gas sellers estimates would increase prices by 40 to 50 cents per gallon by next year.

The EPA is … [Read more...] about New “severe” label on Denver’s air quality means higher gas prices, more stringent emissions standards
