'Extraordinary times demand extraordinary measures': Elon Musk says the US needs to increase oil and gas output
- Elon MuskSouth African–born American entrepreneur
Russian exports of oil and gas are plunging after Russia invaded Ukraine.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the US needs to step up its oil and gas output.
Musk said sustainable energy solutions can't quickly offset Russia's exports.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the US needs to increase its oil and gas output following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
"Hate to say it, but we need to increase oil & gas output immediately," Musk said in a tweet on Friday. "Extraordinary times demand extraordinary measures."
—Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 5, 2022
In a follow-up tweet, Musk noted that while it would be bad for his electric car company, sustainable energy solutions aren't immediately available quickly enough to offset limited Russian oil and gas exports.
"Obviously, this would negatively affect Tesla, but sustainable energy solutions simply cannot react instantaneously to make up for Russian oil & gas exports," Musk wrote.
Many countries, including the US, have imposed tough sanctions on Russia after it invaded Ukraine last week. While sanctions targeted banks, oligarchs, and other financial institutions, countries "refrained from sanctioning Russia's pivotal energy sector," Insider reported.
However, Russian oil and gas exports are still declining as international refiners and banks refuse to do business with the country.
In follow-up tweets, Musk expressed for the Ukrainian people and also sympathized with Russians, who he said "don't want this."

ReutersTesla's Musk asks U.S. judge to end SEC agreement on tweet approval
(Reuters) -Tesla Inc Chief Executive Elon Musk on Tuesday asked a judge to terminate or modify a 2018 agreement with the U.S. securities regulator requiring some of his tweets to be vetted by a lawyer. Musk also asked the court to block a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) subpoena requesting records of pre-approval of a Twitter poll he conducted in November on potentially selling some of his stock. "The SEC’s pursuit of Mr. Musk has crossed the line into harassment, which is quintessential bad faith," Musk's lawyers said in documents to the judge at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

EU to phase out Russian gas, oil, coal imports - leaders' draft
European Union leaders will agree at a summit this week to phase out the EU's dependency on imports of Russian gas, oil and coal, a draft statement showed, marking a turning point in its policy towards Moscow prompted by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. EU leaders will meet in Versailles on Thursday and Friday to discuss boosting their joint defence capability and Ukraine's bid to become a member of the 27-nation bloc. Burned by the experience of supply shortages in microchips and pharmaceuticals during the COVID-19 pandemic, the leaders will also discuss how to make the EU more strategically independent of global suppliers in these sectors and food.

ConocoPhillips CEO says poor energy policies have contributed to lack of supply
HOUSTON (Reuters) -ConocoPhillips Chief Executive Ryan Lance on Tuesday said while energy security recently has become more important with worries over supply, policymakers need to focus on providing long-term support for fossil fuel, renewables and nuclear development. The United States has suffered from "poor energy policy, poor regulatory policy" that led to the energy strains now occupying the world's attention, Lance said at the CERAWeek energy conference. The rapid push to renewable energy and a maligning of the fossil fuels industry has helped create the current supply shortages that have sent oil and gas prices surging, Lance said renewing past criticisms of U.S. policies.

Hundreds of bakeries shut in Sri Lanka after cooking gas runs out
Nearly 1,000 bakeries have closed in Sri Lanka due to a severe shortage of cooking gas, an industry association said on Monday, as the impact of dwindling foreign exchange reserves ricochets through the country's economy. The island nation is facing its worst financial crisis in a decade with foreign exchange reserves shrinking 70% to $2.36 billion in January, leaving the government struggling to pay for imports including food, medicine and fuel. People are lining up at fuel pumps across the country and a shutdown of multiple power plants has led to rolling power cuts, sometimes lasting more than seven hours a day.
