The western U.S. is experiencing the driest two decades in at least 1,200 years. The megadrought has particularly affected agriculture, which takes up about 70% of the world's fresh water, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. But improvements in irrigation efficiency and the integration of technology could help turn the tide in managing an increasingly scarce resource. "I think ag and tech are going to go hand-in-hand going forward" predicts Iron Ox CEO, Brandon Alexander.

On key issues like abortion and election denialism, Tim Michels, the Republican nominee for governor of Wisconsin, is not moving toward the political middle down the homestretch to Election Day. Michels, following a pattern of other Republican candidates in governor’s races in states like Arizona and Pennsylvania, has not done so. "A change on the abortion issue might even be counterproductive, doesn’t help him with the base and doesn’t help him with moderates or independents." It lets him speak to the base and to independents at the same time.”Michels is locked in a close race with Gov. Michels campaign adviser Chris Walker did not respond to questions about Michels’ strategy on abortion or election issues.

The co-founder and CEO of Regent, Billy Thalheimer, said the company has already amassed a backlog of $7 billion worth of orders for its sea gliders. Once on the edge of the harbor, the Regent sea glider accelerates and takes off, staying within one wingspan of the water's surface. "When the vehicle is in the hydrofoils, basically it's like driving above the water surface on stilts," the CTO said. Following successful tests over the summer, Regent now aims for the Viceroy sea glider to enter service by the end of 2025. The startup is also developing a 100-passenger sea glider, dubbed the Monarch, that can carry 25,000 pounds of payload.
