Trump's nominee for education secretary has her own set of child abuse problems

Linda and Vince McMahon face a separate civil suit filed in October by five anonymous plaintiffs who worked decades ago as “ring boys,” teenagers who helped set up WWE events. The plaintiffs claim the McMahons were aware they were being sexually abused by other high-ranking WWE employees and did not do enough to protect them.

I'm not sure their method of assessing ability to respond is quite there — a lot of it is about community-building, and the things they use (eg: spending on shared infrastructure) are very rough proxies for that. Still, it's making an effort in a direction that I haven't seen others do.

 

Citing scientific studies, Mr. Alam said that about 45 percent of year-round air pollution in Lahore stems from tailpipe emissions, largely a result of low-quality fuel. Another 40 percent is attributed to industrial emissions and energy production.

Yeah, wind and solar seem to be able to go for 50+ years too. The main reason they're not doing that so far is that newer installations can kick out more electricity (and money) in the same footprint.

Right, but nuclear remains far more expensive than wind and solar, which is why almost no new nuclear gets built.

I'll also note that a chunk of the data is from 2007 and 2008, and the price (and greenhouse gas emissions associated with) both wind and solar have declined markedly since then.
