"While the government didn’t hesitate to delete inconvenient climate information, dedicated volunteers outside the government managed to preserve copies of much of the material, which the federal government is prohibited from copyrighting. The volunteers and former climate.gov admins got together and launched climate.us. On Tuesday, the team announced that it had completed the project to restore everything lost when climate.gov shut down.

The website features Climate.gov’s 15-year collection of climate news and stories, expert blogs, visual status reports on key climate indicators, maps and data pathways, climate literacy resources, classroom materials, and restored access to the Fifth National Climate Assessment.

The team behind it, which includes several key people who built climate.gov, says it’s not satisfied with simply restoring what was lost. Having established a nonprofit to maintain the new website, the organization will shift its focus to what it calls “long-term public service.” It plans to establish new resources and develop additional materials to help explain the changing climate to the public."

"ProPublica reviewed records of that meeting, providing a rare look at a dramatic shift underway in one of the most sensitive domains of public policy. The Trump administration is upending the way nuclear energy is regulated, driven by a desire to dramatically increase the amount of energy available to power artificial intelligence.

Career experts have been forced out and thousands of pages of regulations are being rewritten at a sprint. A new generation of nuclear energy companies — flush with Silicon Valley cash and boasting strong political connections — wield increasing influence over policy. Figures like Cohen are forcing a “move fast and break things” Silicon Valley ethos on one of the country’s most important regulators.

The Trump administration has been particularly aggressive in its attacks on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the bipartisan independent regulator that approves commercial nuclear power plants and monitors their safety. The agency is not a household name. But it’s considered the international gold standard, often influencing safety rules around the world.

The NRC has critics, especially in Silicon Valley, where the often-cautious commission is portrayed as an impediment to innovation. In an early salvo, President Donald Trump fired NRC Commissioner Christopher Hanson last June after Hanson spoke out about the importance of agency independence. It was the first time an NRC commissioner had been fired.

During that Idaho meeting, Cohen shot down any notion of NRC independence in the new era."

Apagón masivo en #Cuba por el bloqueo energético de #Trump / #USA

Cuba sufre de ataques económicos y comerciales de #USA por más de 60 años.

¿Si el comunismo es tan malo podrían dejarlo colapsar solo y parar de atacar al pueblo Cubano no?

Digo... hoy en día cualquier extraterrestre que pase por la tierra a observar llegaría a la conclusión de que en todo país donde EE UU interviene o manda sanciones le va mal... y los que logran eludirlos les va bien. No importa el tipo de gobierno o régimen.

Es terrorismo dejar un país entero sin energía por un capricho ideológico.

"A surge in the price of sulphur has highlighted how the effects of the Iran war are spreading far beyond energy markets to hit wider supply chains.

Shipping has been virtually halted through the Strait of Hormuz, choking off supplies of the byproduct of oil and gas refining that, while a niche commodity, is vital in sectors from fertilisers and chemicals to computer chips and metal processing.

The impact of the waterway’s disruption is rippling across industries, with already strained supply chains facing their biggest threat since the Covid-19 pandemic, analysts say.

More than 44,000 companies have had at least one shipment affected, according to analytics group Dun & Bradstreet, which said businesses in China and India had been the most exposed.

Amin Nasser, chief executive of Saudi Aramco, told reporters on Tuesday that the crisis in the strait had triggered “a severe chain reaction”, with a “drastic domino effect” on various industries."
