The 339-mile CHPE transmission line aims to provide hydropower to a million New York City homes. According to EPA data, carbon emissions in the New York City area rose by about 20% between 2019 and 2022. Gas-fired power plants contribute to poor air quality, which can lead to health problems like asthma. The asthma rate for children in New York City, especially in poorer neighborhoods, is one of the highest in the country. New York has six years to achieve its goal of powering 70 percent of its grid with renewable energy.

The Biden administration plans to spend up to $6 billion on new technologies to cut carbon dioxide emissions from heavy industries like steel, cement, chemicals and aluminum, which are all enormous contributors to global warming but which have so far been incredibly difficult to clean up. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said Monday that her agency would partially fund 33 different projects in 20 states to test methods for curbing emissions from a wide variety of factories and industrial plants, calling it “the single largest industrial decarbonization investment in American history.”Constellium, an aluminum producer, would receive up to $75 million to build a first-of-a-kind aluminum casting plant in Ravenswood, W.Va., that can run on cleaner burning hydrogen fuels rather than natural gas. Kraft Heinz, a food manufacturer, would get up to $170.9 million to install electric boilers and heat pumps at 10 facilities across the country, where they would be used to generate the large amounts of heat needed for things like drying macaroni without directly burning fossil fuels.

John Chambers grew up in West Virginia and went on to run what was once the world’s most valuable company, the computer networking firm Cisco Systems Inc. Now he is trying to help economically lagging West Virginia by making it a “start-up state” akin to Israel, which has been called the start-up nation. I interviewed Chambers recently about his hopes and the magnitude of the challenge. Chambers was born in 1949 while his parents were in medical school at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. He grew up mostly in Charleston, W.Va., and earned a bachelor’s degree and a law degree from West Virginia University. Chambers became a salesperson for IBM, then for Wang Laboratories, before joining Cisco in 1990, six years after the company was founded in Silicon Valley.

But these shades are not mixed on a palette, they are unfiltered snapshots of San Francisco Bay’s salt ponds. Barbara BoissevainAlthough perhaps less photogenic, the shift is a positive sign, says Dave Halsing, executive project manager of the South Bay Salt Ponds Restoration Project. Today, Cargill still operates 12,000 acres of salt ponds, capable of crystallizing half a million tons of sea salt each year. She remembers visiting the salt ponds for the first time during a science class in third grade. She started by going up in the air once a year to photograph the salt ponds.

☆ HBO Max pregăteşte o nouă versiune a serialului „Pretty Little Liars''
▼ + stars: | 2020-09-25 | by ( ) www.jurnal.md time to read: +1 min

După un deceniu de la lansarea producţiei originale, noua versiune va încerca să repete succesul obţinut de „Pretty Little Liars" între 2010 şi 2017, cu şapte sezoane şi 160 de episoade şi care au generat două producţii derivate, încheiate însă fiecare după primul sezon. După eşecul serialelor „Ravenswood" şi „The Perfectionists", HBO Max va încerca să recupereze publicul telespectator cu "Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin". HBO Max notează într-un comunicat că noua versiune va fi "o dramă obscură, furioasă, cu accente horror". Producătorul unor seriale precum "Riverdale" şi "Glee", Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, de origine nicaraguană, va avea sarcina de a realiza o versiune actuală a show-ului TV din 2010, care era foarte popular în rândul tinerilor. „Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin" se bazează pe cărţile autoarei americane de literatură pentru adolescenţi Sara Shepard.
