If carbon monoxide levels got too high, the generator was designed to automatically sense the danger and trigger a shut-off switch. In February, the CPSC announced that it intended to propose new mandatory regulations in its 2023 fiscal year to force stricter generator safety upgrades. Carbon monoxide deaths caused by generators predictably follow nearly every major power outage caused by extreme weather, which scientists say is becoming more common with climate change. The Louisiana Department of Health reported that at least six people, including Johnson’s family, died of carbon monoxide poisoning after Hurricane Ida. Harding, the generator industry representative, emphasized that generators should only be operated outside with the exhaust pointed away from windows and doors.

Texas now has the highest number of book bans in the US. Texas is now a leader in book bans, and one influential politician — along with pressure from the GOP — may have been the driving force, a Houston Chronicle investigation found. By April 2022, a PEN America analysis found that Texas had 713 bans, nearly half of all book bans in the US. Some politicians and parent groups disagreed with the inquiryKrause denies any political motivations behind the book list, but critics disagree.
