Clean energy gains a foothold in India, but coal still rules

For six years, farmer Pravinbhai Parmar in west India has been using solar power for irrigation. He also sells the excess electricity to his state’s grid to earn additional income.

Do yourselves a favor: Take abundant photos and videos of, for and around people you love. Do it frequently, randomly, deliberately. Do it for the big stuff. Do it for the little stuff. Do it for the stupid stuff. Do it on nights out. Do it on nights in. You’re so loved, Greg.

Greg didn’t do anything halfway. Writing a story, cooking a meal — he went all out, always. His generosity, sense of humor and enthusiasm were infectious, and they were such a gift. I miss you, Greg, and I’m so grateful to have known you. latimes.com/obituaries/story…

Greg brought so much trust, a lot of his wonderful food, and even more laughter to our friendship. So many people are missing him today, esp. in his beloved journalism community, me among them. RIP to a real one.

As it happens, I was there when the love between Greg and this “moo cow” began. We fairly recklessly adopted him into our apartment. Those were the best of times.

What we learned: Few countries are actively growing their nuclear power capacity, but when you look at China, you see a major exception.

New: Qatar and FIFA have said the upcoming World Cup will be 'carbon-neutral.' But carbon analysts and climate advocates who've looked at the plan say Qatar is relying on creative accounting and dubious carbon credits. apnews.com/article/world-cup…

Qatar’s promise of ‘carbon-neutral’ World Cup raises doubts

WASHINGTON (AP) — In the 12-year run-up to hosting the 2022 men's World Cup soccer tournament, Qatar has been on a ferocious construction spree with few recent parallels.

It's the summer of extreme weather whiplash with places, like Texas, St. Louis, Kentucky, going from drought to deluge. China, Europe, Africa, Death Valley, the list goes on. apne.ws/XEdeICb

Important question: What word can you use in R to say you're "pickling" something like you would in Python? Can I just keep saying "pickle" because it's fun or do I have to say "serialize" instead?

Historic climate legislation is now law. And it is a massive opportunity for state leaders across the country. Here is a roundup of what IRA could mean for states —especially if they take full advantage and invest boldly in their clean energy economies ⬇️
This seems indicative of how people feel climate change won't impact them directly. I wonder if a higher percentage would say they're concerned about its effects on people broadly.

Americans are less concerned now about how climate change might impact them personally — and about how their personal choices affect the climate — than they were three years ago, according to a June AP-NORC poll shows. apne.ws/tdpA7wx

AP-NORC poll: Many in US doubt their own impact on climate

Americans are less concerned now about how climate change might impact them personally — and about how their personal choices affect the climate than they were three years ago.

Two years ago, @mkwildeman wrote about a huge failure that ended up killing a man who received a new set of lungs. postandcourier.com/health/he… Turns out that mistake affected four patients in total, according to new Congressional report. See here: washingtonpost.com/health/20…

He died when he got the wrong lungs. It wasn't the only organ error in SC that day.

Few things in medicine are considered as precious as a solid organ donation, especially from someone who has died. To mix up the match between donor and patient’s blood type is rare.

How can the SEC help fight climate change? "That’s why the SEC must act now. It can start with enforcement of the rule already on the books. There is strong legal authority and an existing regulatory framework for this approach." thehill.com/opinion/energy-e…

SEC: Step up on climate change

In fact, a rule requiring climate disclosures has been on the books since 2010 — but mostly ignored.
