When most kids rebel against their families, they might become a ski bum, join a band, or go to art school. Shen Ming Lee decided to start a company. “I grew up in the conventional palm oil industry,” Lee told TechCrunch. “My family’s business is one of the top producers in the palm oil space. And so I grew up a little bit — I have to admit —ashamed of what my family does.” Palm oil has come to dominate the market for vegetable oils, with the raw ingredient and its derivatives appearing in eve

The Trump administration has already added nearly $40 billion in new federal subsidies for oil, gas, and coal in 2025, a report released Tuesday finds, sending an additional $4 billion out the door each year for fossil fuels over the next decade. That new amount, created with the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act this summer, adds on to $30.8 billion a year in preexisting subsidies for the fossil fuel industry.

Are You Using the Wrong Cooking Oil? Here's What a Chef Says

A walk down the cooking oil aisle can feel a bit overwhelming. Olive, avocado, canola, grapeseed, peanut -- they all promise something different, and not every bottle works for every recipe. If you use the wrong one, your dish can end up greasy, bitter or just plain off. The key to choosing the correct one is knowing which oils handle heat best and which are better left raw.

Why Is Tech Worried When Stocks Like Chevron Drop On Global Oil Worries?

Cooking oil can completely transform a dish, but using the wrong one can ruin it. While olive oil is a go-to for many home cooks, it isn't always the best choice. The reason? Its lower smoke point means it can burn at high temperatures, leaving food with an unpleasant, bitter taste.

Olive Oil for Everything? Not So Fast — Here's What Cooking Oil to Use Instead

Cooking oil is one of the most versatile ingredients in any kitchen, but not all oils are created equal. While it's tempting to reach for olive oil every time, the truth is that different oils perform best under different conditions, and using the wrong one can make or break your dish. Olive oil, for example, adds richness and depth to dressings and sautés as well as goodies like proteins and vegetables.

The Arctic Got So Warm in February, Svalbard’s Ground Was ‘Like Soft Ice Cream’

The Arctic island of Svalbard is so reliably frigid that humanity bet its future on the place. Since 2008, the Svalbard Global Seed Vault—set deep in frozen soil known as permafrost—has accepted nearly 1.4 million samples of more than 6,000 species of critical crops. But the island is warming six to seven times faster than the rest of the planet, making even winters freakishly hot, at least by Arctic standards.
