☆ First Solar announces fifth U.S. factory as Inflation Reduction Act fuels domestic manufacturing
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-27 | by ( Pippa Stevens | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

First Solar, the nation's largest solar panel manufacturer, announced Thursday that it will build its fifth U.S. factory as the Inflation Reduction Act spurs a domestic manufacturing boom. The company said it will invest as much as $1.1 billion in the new factory, the location of which has yet to be decided. Still, First Solar has been unable to meet surging demand, and in April, the company said it was sold out through 2026. The Inflation Reduction Act has already spurred a flurry of clean energy factory announcements and more than $150 billion in capital investments since it passed nearly one year ago, according to estimates from American Clean Power. President Biden said Thursday that First Solar's announcement, alongside other green energy pushes, shows that "the era of America ceding leadership to our adversaries in clean energy is over."

☆ Review: To Revisit a Sexual Assault, She Drugs Herself Onstage

In “The Bride and the Goodnight Cinderella” (“A Noiva e o Boa Noite Cinderela”), her new stage production at the Avignon Festival in France, she doesn’t merely open up about that experience. She relives part of it, night after night. This all-too-real performance single-handedly jolted Avignon alive over the first week of the festival, turning Bianchi — an unknown, Amsterdam-based artist — into a sensation at the event. I felt nauseated at several points, as if “The Bride and the Goodnight Cinderella” had tapped into my own fight-or-flight instinct. Bianchi enters in a stylish white ensemble, and proceeds to deliver a lecture from a heavy stack of notes.

Some middle-tier restaurants are now stocking stools for diners to place their luxury handbags on. One restaurant in Paris even stocks Hermés stools that cost almost $10,000 a piece. Priced at $9,150, the stools are more expensive than many luxury handbags. "Fine-dining-only service points have made their way into more mainstream restaurants as service, generally, has become elevated across the industry." Such shoppers are generally more likely to be the target market for expensive restaurants touting their handbag stools.

☆ Pippa Garner’s Wild Ride
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-30 | by ( Evan Moffitt | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

High-heeled roller skates, a palm-frond umbrella and a shower in a can — these are just a few of Pippa Garner’s hundreds of inventions. For the past 50 years, the artist has been satirizing U.S. consumer habits with designs that are not always entirely useful. Few things have escaped her restless, imaginative tinkering, from automobiles to her own body, which she began, in her words, “gender-hacking” in the mid-1980s. That may be why the art world establishment long treated Garner, 81, as a fringe character, more madcap inventor than conceptual artist in the tradition of Marcel Duchamp or Andy Warhol. There are T-shirts printed with Garner’s sardonic proto-meme images and slogans, including one featuring the actor Gary Busey and the words “I pay my stalker a living wage” in all caps.

☆ Meet 11 women who were promoted to partner or higher in Europe's male-dominated VC industry in 2023

Women held just 13.5% of general partner roles in Europe's VC industry last year, per Atomico. Europe's venture capital ecosystem has long boasted a dire track record when it comes to diversity. The lack of representation in top-level positions has a trickle-down effect with female-founded startups securing a meager 1.1% of VC funding in 2022. VC firms can widen "the candidate pool, require diverse shortlists, and interview candidates with competency-based assessment techniques," she said. This year, we have spotlighted 11 contenders who have landed top roles at European VC firms.
