    One method of making electricity cleanly to address climate change has been quietly advancing and on Tuesday it hit a milestone. A California utility is backing the largest new geothermal power development in the U.S. — 400 megawatts of clean electricity from the Earth’s heat — enough for some 400,000 homes. Clean electricity like this reduces the need for traditional power plants that cause climate change.

  • Wolf Shows Playful Interest in Grizzly Bear's Meal

    A wolf seemed super keen to get a piece of a bison carcass from a grizzly bear, footage by a nature photographer in Yellowstone National Park shows, but the bear seemed unimpressed by its antics as it bounced around.Trevor LaClair said he filmed the scene in April 2023, when the bear pulled the carcass from a frozen pond.“Two of the wolves approached the grizzly. One of the wolves got too close and the bear lunged at it as a warning. However, the wolf viewed it as an opportunity to potentially lure the bear away and began play bowing and bouncing around,” LaClair wrote on Instagram.“After a while, the grey wolf gave up and laid down nearby, waiting patiently for a piece of meat,” LaClair added. The grizzly eventually left and the wolves were able to get their turn.According to the National Wildlife Federation, a wolf will dance and bow if it is feeling playful.

  • Worsening water crisis can weigh on India's sovereign credit strength, Moody's says

    MUMBAI/BENGALURU (Reuters) -India's worsening water shortage, triggered by high consumption amid rapid economic growth and frequent natural disasters, can negatively impact the South Asian nation's sovereign credit strength, Moody's Ratings said on Tuesday. Millions of Indians face water shortages every summer when water demand rises in farms, offices and homes against a limited supply, but a prolonged heatwave this year has worsened the shortfall, including in Delhi and the southern tech hub of Bengaluru. "This is detrimental to the credit health of the sovereign, as well as sectors that heavily consume water, such as coal power generators and steel-makers," Moody's Ratings said in a note.

  • Heat waves are melting US GDP. Here's how.

    The Midwest and Northeast are finally feeling some relief after a heatwave. However, record-high temperatures exact a toll on the US economy: the Atlantic Council estimates extreme heat costs the US GDP $100 billion annually, a figure that could double by 2030 as climate change accelerates. The Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES) president Nathaniel Keohane joins Market Domination Overtime to discuss how heat impacts the economy. Keohane explains that heatwaves impact both agricultural productivity and labor productivity. "It's harder to do good work when the heat really climbs. And then there is also heat-related mortality in the US. That's less of an issue. It does happen in real bad heat waves, but globally, that's a big impact both in terms of human impacts but also in terms of economic impacts," he explains. Infrastructure is also impacted by extreme heat, as electric grids need to be updated to remain resilient. He adds, "I think there's more that the federal government and the state governments can do. We're starting to see that FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Administration, is starting to look at the investments that need to be made to adapt to a changing climate across the board, including on heat." To tackle these issues, he believes investments and policies need to be put in place to curb emissions contributing to climate change.
