President Biden plans to visit New York and New Jersey on Tuesday to survey the damage wrought when remnants of Hurricane Ida struck several states in the Northeast with ferocity this week, thrashing the region several days after making landfall on the Gulf Coast.
At least 49 people are confirmed dead, and in some areas, the search continues for missing people. Recovery efforts remain underway.
There was "just the right mix of weather conditions" in place for Ida to unleash devastating floods and even tornadoes on parts of the region, Tripti Bhattacharya, an assistant professor of earth and environmental sciences at Syracuse University, told NPR. Scientists say climate change is creating the conditions to make such storms more intense.
It may take some time to rebound from the storm.
US attorney details illegal acts in construction projects, sealing the fate of the
The ill-fated construction of new nuclear reactors in South Carolina—one of two such troubled Westinghouse reactor construction projects in the United States—was abruptly terminated on July 31, 2017, but the effort to determine legal accountability for the project’s colossal failure is only now hitting its stride.
The South Carolina legislature conducted hearings about the project’s collapse. But it has fallen to the United States Attorney for South Carolina to outline internal decisions that led to project abandonment—via court filings, plea agreements, and indictments. These filings are proving to be the best documentation so far of criminal behavior related to projects that were part of a much-hyped “nuclear renaissance” that began in the early-2000s but has since petered out in the United States.
On August 18, 2021, a second Westinghouse official was charged in a federal grand jury indictment filed with the court in Columbia, South Carolina. The charges outline “the scheme” to cover up key details about the problem-plagued project to construct two 1,100 megawatt (MW) Westinghouse AP1000 light-water reactors at the VC Summer site north of Columbia.
Addiction
I bet future generations will come to realize how powerful of a narcotic that fossil fuels really are. Fossil fuel energy bends the human mind and spirit with power, speed, color, light, and warmth.
The tragic thing about addiction is most are blind to the deadly and destructive consequences of their addiction, and are blind to what addiction is doing to themselves and the community around them.

If we’re going to build a better future, we have to believe things can improve.
This is a good thing, less light pollution. 💡
With the growth of electric cars and renewable energy, many cities will get priced out of street lighting, forcing them to extinguish many street lights.
This is a good thing, less light pollution. 💡
Most street lighting is only affordable now because utilities have such enormous need for spinning reserve to meet the morning ramp.
But if early morning energy prices surge with electric cars and no solar at night, cities could easily get priced out of the street lighting business except the minimum absolutely necessary.
