WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Tuesday will weigh the fate of an 88-mile railroad project that would transport crude oil in Utah as the justices consider a dispute over whether federal officials conducted a stringent enough environmental review before approving it. It is opposed by Eagle County, Colorado, which claims that it will suffer from downstream effects of the railroad, as well as environmental groups. The federal entity overseeing approval of the project, the Surface Transportation Board (STB), conducted an environmental review and subsequently gave it the green light to commence. The Biden administration has backed the coalition at the Supreme Court in arguing that the STB's review was sufficient. Lawyers for Eagle County said in court papers that the appeals court correctly concluded that the STB had not done a full analysis.

There are too many people and a limited water supply due to a decreasing number of lakes. I've never struggled with water supply in the past: I have access to a well, rainwater harvesting, and facilities to store water from the public supply. But this year, I noticed the public water supply was running out more frequently, so even I had to buy water a few times. There are opportunities in tech and other industries serving that community, such as schools, public transport, and cooking. It's going to take a long while for anything to change, so I still think Bengaluru will continue to be "India's Silicon Valley."

☆ The jobs most vulnerable under the next Trump administration

New York CNN —President-elect Donald Trump campaigned on the promise to create more American jobs and protect existing ones. For example, higher tariffs could help boost American manufacturing jobs if more businesses decide they want their goods made domestically to avoid the added cost of importing. That’s because, in response to being subjected to higher tariffs, impacted nations would likely impose comparable tariffs on American goods, he said. That could significantly raise American businesses’ costs while also reducing demand for their goods. Many American companies experienced this during Trump’s first term as China responded with tit-for-tat tariffs on American imports.

Michael Latham/Sundance InstituteIf you can't get enough of Netflix's new docuseries "Cold Case: Who killed JonBenét Ramsey," we recommend this fiction/doc hybrid the streamer made in 2017. "Casting JonBenet," Kitty Green's directorial debut ("The Assistant," "The Royal Hotel"), explores the unsolved murder in a unique way: by filming the casting of a fake movie about the JonBenét murder. A handful of actors portray the main figures of the case in these moments — yes, even young girls as JonBenét. The movie is a fascinating study of our own obsessions about the case rather than a search for answers.
