Will this lead to action or lip service?
We shall see.

Insightful in light of the VW unionization vote in TN:
The "antilabor political and economic agenda that rests on weakening whatever protections working people might have...puts the lie to the idea...that the Republican Party had somehow become a 'workers’ party.'”

US EPA issued the first national drinking water limit on toxic, long-lasting ("forever") PFAS substances. We need this rule for limits to PFAS in water, even if service costs for utility customers could increase.
Bottom line: PFAS manufacturers need to be held accountable

George W. Shannon wetlands treat 90 million gallons of water a day coming from Richland Chambers, North Texas.
Interesting to see that the EPA now has a webpage detailing "Water Reuse and Nature-based Solutions," such as such as wastewater treatment wetlands; stormwater capture, treatment, and aquifer recharge; etc.

John Fleck (as usual) astutely lays out the water allocation negotiations amongst the Colorado River Basin states (or really the Upper Basin vs. the Lower Basin). Less water available means all will have to find a compromise plan to reduce demand in the end.

"The lesson of history is that turning trade into a positive force requires that we democratize it...[That ensures] it serves the common good, rather than narrow interests––an important lesson to keep in mind as we reconstruct the world trade regime" ahead.

The fact that the US economy hasn’t collapsed after the world-historic event of COVID—which killed 1 million+ & caused extreme disruption—seems undervalued if not forgotten. More (always) must be done to help those struggling, but aspects of govt/people/civic soc. aided in crisis.
Crypto hype aside, this blockchain use case is beneficial in ways I imagined.
The company, Sourcery, links cotton to the value claim of the commodity so that the value (money) is shared with the farmer, who also owns the data. Sustainable production potential.

No, that's one tranche of the $55 billion-plus allocated for water infrastructure upgrades in the US, part of the $1.2 TRILLION Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
Much more investment is needed for water (and all) infrastructure. Does the GOP support more? /s

Are there any studies and/or modeling about emission reductions for homeowners buying into community solar schemes, or would that be considered utility-scale solar? Thanks.
Poor water quality can lead to water scarcity. STUDY: "decreasing water quality caused by increasing and newly emerging pollutants...[aggravates] water scarcity problems."

Say what you will about Navalny's past politics, he showed incredible physical and political courage by continuing to challenge Putin and by returning to Russia.

This is a good cheat sheet for DMV transportation.
The evidence this ruling depends on is so far is solely testimony, so the weight of the two could well outweigh the one.
The Inflation Reduction Act is poised to save New Jersey electricity users $300 million annually from 2025-2032, as a new federal tax credit to keep existing nuclear plants running renders a state subsidy unnecessary.

A good defense lawyer throws anything against the wall. A chance at disqualification of a DA has little downside. Plus, anyone associated with Trump will do things on a whim--his whim.
Of course, but that does not discount that one person's sworn testimony can be outweighed by the sworn testimony of two. Plus, it's the word of the DA, not a person of lesser means in a death penalty case. We'll see, though,
Right now it comes down to the testimony of one person against the testimony of two people.
