California Senate approves plan allowing the state to buy power

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:35:03 GMT

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The California Senate voted Thursday to give Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration permission to buy massive amounts of electricity, a move aimed at avoiding blackouts by shoring up the state’s power supply while jumpstarting the West Coast’s fledgling offshore wind industry.Five companies paid roughly $750 million last year to lease areas off the California coast to build wind turbines. Collectively, those projects could generate enough electricity to power 3.5 million homes, helping the state avoid blackouts during extreme heat waves that have routinely strained the electrical grid of the nation’s most populous state.But so far, the state’s largest utility companies have not been willing to commit to buying power from projects like those because it would cost too much money and take too long to build. In addition to building the wind turbines, the projects will require improvements at the state’s ports and new p...

Mississippi should restore the voting rights of former felons, Democratic candidates say

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:35:03 GMT

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi should stop defending a Jim Crow-era portion of its state constitution that permanently strips voting rights from people convicted of certain felonies, the Democratic nominees for two statewide offices said Thursday.Greta Kemp Martin faces first-term Republican Attorney General Lynn Fitch and Ty Pinkins faces first-term Republican Secretary of State Michael Watson in the Nov. 7 election.Kemp Martin said a panel of federal appeals judges made the correct decision Aug. 4 when they ruled that Mississippi’s ban on voting after conviction for crimes including forgery and bigamy is a violation of the U.S. Constitution’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment.The disenfranchisement is “a continued punishment for people who have served their sentence to the state of Mississippi,” Kemp Martin said Thursday. “And they deserve the right to be able to enter their community and participate in one of our most sacred rights.”Fitch, who represe...

Una nave Apolo abandonada en la Luna está causando pequeños terremotos en la superficie

(CNN) — Una nave espacial abandonada por astronautas estadounidenses en la superficie de la Luna podría estar causando pequeños temblores conocidos como terremotos lunares, según indicó un nuevo estudio.Por primera vez, los investigadores revelaron un tipo, hasta ahora desconocido, de actividad sísmica en la Luna mediante un análisis de datos de la era Apolo utilizando algoritmos modernos.Los cambios masivos de temperatura que ocurren en la Luna pueden llevar a que las estructuras creadas por el hombre se expandan y se contraigan de una manera que produzca estas vibraciones, sugiere el informe. La superficie lunar es un ambiente extremo, que oscila entre -208 grados Fahrenheit (-133 grados Celsius) en la oscuridad y 250 grados Fahrenheit (121 grados Celsius) bajo el Sol directo, según un comunicado de prensa sobre el estudio.De hecho, toda la superficie de la Luna se expande y se contrae con el calor y el frío, explica el estudio publicado el 5 de septiembre en el Journal of G...
