Gas facts (Jun 07 2004 09:59 GMT) - Since ''rock oil'' was discovered in 1859 near Titusville, Pa., by a man drilling for water, crude oil, also called petroleum, has become the world's foremost source of energy and the backbone of our industrial society. Oil accounts for 38 percent of energy use worldwide. Oil's liquid form, high energy density and relatively clean-burning nature make it the most versatile of fuels. When oil was discovered, it was primarily used as kerosene for lamps and stoves. |

- Разграничение полномочий между федеральным центром и регионами по пенсионному обеспечению потребует от регионов усилий по поиску дополнительных источников доходов, заявил в понедельник президент Северной Осетии Александр Дзасохов на заседании правительства республики. По его словам, "жить в эпоху реформ всегда непросто, однако продолжать жить, как мы живем сегодня, с учетом допущенных раньше ошибок, просто невозможно". Дзасохов отметил, что "в прошлые годы до 30% бюджета Северной Осетии уходило на оплату льгот разным социальным группам населения, в основном пенсионерам". Вместе с тем, подчеркнул Дзасохов, переход на систему выплат денежных компенсаций льготникам не должен ухудшить положение пенсионеров и выразил уверенность в способности республики справиться с новыми задачами, передает РИА "Новости". |
