CNN —Residents in the Southwest are bracing for heavy rains and potentially catastrophic flooding as Hurricane Hilary is expected to pummel the region as a rare tropical storm beginning Sunday and lasting into next week. Its core is expected to pass close to the peninsula Saturday night and then weaken into a tropical storm as it crosses into the US and Southern California. The threat has triggered California’s first ever tropical storm warning extending from the state’s southern border to just north of Los Angeles. “Preparations for the impacts of flooding from rainfall should be completed as soon as possible, as heavy rain will increase ahead of the center on Saturday,” the hurricane center said.

CNN —Chick-fil-A’s first foray into the chicken sandwich wars was so successful that it’s launching a second entry, marking the first time the chain has altered its well-known fried chicken sandwich. That sense of urgency comes as competition in the chicken sandwich wars is escalating. Less than three months ago, chicken chain competitor Popeyes expanded its sandwich selection to permanently include the blackened chicken sandwich. The seasonal sandwich is the first time Chick-fil-A has experimented with their original fried chicken sandwich recipe. As both Chick-fil-A and Popeyes venture beyond the basic buttered bun and fried chicken, it will be consumers who will decide who rules the roost in this ever-expanding chicken sandwich market.

Chinese electric car brand Nio is in the middle of a big turnaround that can push the stock up as much as 28%, according to Deutsche Bank. Analyst Edison Yu was impressed by the jump in deliveries last month as well as its improved operations. Nio said its July deliveries totaled 20,462, up 103.6% year over year and nearly double the June figure of 10,707 cars. Deutsche Bank expects the company can continue the rally amid the increase in unit sales as well as gross margin. "We think the stock can finally recapture momentum after being a relative laggard all year and also see some small potential for strategic optionality," Yu said.

Vice President Kamala Harris celebrated the new labor reforms at a Philadelphia union hall, calling the administration unapologetically pro-union. "When union wages go up, everyone's wages go up. The Davis-Bacon Act of 1931 tasks the government with establishing wage floors - known as prevailing wages - that apply to construction projects funded by the federal government. Today, it applies to more than one million construction workers on $200 billion of such projects, the administration said. Trade groups have long criticized the prevailing wage requirements, saying they discourage small businesses from seeking federal contracts.

This undated handout image shows the carbon sequesterization unit at American Electric Power Company's Mountaineer Plant near New Haven, West Virginia. REUTERS/Tom Dubanowich/Handout /File PhotoAug 8 (Reuters) - U.S. power plant owners warned the Biden administration on Tuesday that its sweeping plan to slash carbon emissions from the electricity sector is unworkable, relying too heavily on costly technologies that are not yet proven at scale. Proposed in May, the EPA plan would for the first time limit how much carbon dioxide power plants can emit, after previous efforts were struck down in court. Industry is particularly concerned about proposed standards for existing natural gas power plants, saying those facilities would be hard to retrofit with CCS, or hydrogen, due to space constraints and other limitations. The EPA's proposal had been crafted to reflect constraints the Supreme Court imposed on the agency after it ruled an Obama-era power plant proposal went too far by imposing a system-wide shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy.

They effectively end the sale and manufacture of incandescent light bulbs. You don't have to throw away incandescent bulbs you already own, but switching could save you money. You can thank — or blame — new federal energy efficiency regulations that went into full effect Tuesday. Practical incandescent bulbs, which trace their origin to an 1880 Edison patent, can't meet those standards. How LED bulbs save energy and moneyIncandescent bulbs create illumination by running an electric current through a filament that heats it until it glows.

The power industry accounts for a quarter of the nation's greenhouse gas emissions, second only to transportation, according to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) data. The rules would also regulate coal and new natural gas plants separately. It also said retrofitting those plants for CCS would be "difficult" due to space constraints and other limitations.

Had the government just banned the sale of incandescent bulbs? Much like its cousin, the gas stove, the humble light bulb has become a flashpoint in a cultural squabble between environmental regulatory efforts and the very American impulse to do whatever one wants in one’s domicile. (The Biden administration denied trying to ban gas stoves.) The response to the bulb ban was more of a whimper than a battle cry. “Thomas Edison brought the incandescent light bulb to the masses, and in 2023 Joe Biden banned it in America,” officials with the Republican Party of New Mexico wrote in a tweet.

Mountain Valley is key to unlocking gas supplies from Appalachia, the nation's biggest shale gas-producing basin in Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. When Mountain Valley started construction in February 2018, Equitrans estimated the 2.0-billion cubic feet per day project would cost about $3.5 billion and enter service by late 2018.
