MARKETPLACE: The war in Ukraine has threatened the global supply of all sorts of commodities. Today, we’re zooming in on three key parts of the global energy industry: Russia’s role in nuclear power, how Europe’s shift from Russian to American natural gas could play out and why OPEC+ likely won’t boost oil supplies. Plus: The changing conversation around standardized tests and potential planting on protected lands.
MARKETPLACE TECH: Steve Wilhite, inventor of the graphics interchange format, also known as GIF, died this month at the age of 74. Animated or not, GIFs may now be a common, free feature of the internet, but the tech that powered Wilhite’s format was patented by the technology company Unisys. For a few contentious years during the internet’s youthful era, Unisys wanted to charge fees for all the sparkly GIFs we were sharing. This fight — over who controls how information moves around the web and who gets paid in the process — continues to this day. Marketplace’s Kimberly Adams spoke with Jason Eppink, an artist and a former curator at the Museum of the Moving Image, who gave her a GIF history lesson.
