Quick Glance: New EPA Rules Target Emissions Reduction at Power Plants

The Biden administration aims to compel coal-fired power plants to capture smokestack emissions or close down.

The rules target limiting greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel power plants and reducing toxic pollutants from coal-fired plants.

The plan includes measures to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, toxic wastewater pollutants, and safely manage coal ash.

The actions are expected to face opposition from industry groups and Republican-leaning states, while environmental groups see it as a crucial step in combating climate change.

Quick Glance: Michael Douglas defends farting as Benjamin Franklin

Michael Douglas expresses no remorse for his portrayal of flatulence as a founding father.

In an interview with Sirius XM's The Jess Cagle Show, the Wall Street actor defended the scene in his Apple TV+ series Franklin where his Benjamin Franklin repeatedly breaks wind. Douglas delved into a book about Franklin and used 'Fart Proudly' to counter critics.

Indeed, Franklin penned an essay titled 'Fart Proudly' in 1781, delving into the science of flatulence and proposing ways to turn its odor into a pleasant scent.

The Apple TV+ series, based on A Great Improvisation: Franklin, France, and the Birth of America by Pulitzer Prize winner Stacy Schiff, narrates Franklin's endeavor to persuade the French government to back the American revolution.

Quick Glance: Experience Weather Changes During the Total Solar Eclipse

On Monday, April 8, a total solar eclipse will alter weather conditions on the Earth’s surface as it unfolds in the sky.

The eclipse will impact temperatures, wind speeds, and humidity as the moon obscures the sun. Increased shading leads to more significant weather changes.

The eclipse will also affect humidity levels, influencing temperature drops during the event. Cooling effects during the eclipse impact wind speeds and cloud formation.

Monday’s eclipse is the only chance to witness a total solar eclipse from the Lower 48 states. The next opportunity won't occur until August 12, 2045.

Survivor chances are low at a Northern Italy power plant after an accident, firefighters reported on Wednesday. Four individuals are missing as water levels rise rapidly.

At least three people perished in an underground fire and explosion at an Enel Green Power hydroelectric plant near Camugnano.

Trade unions express concern over workplace safety in Italy following fatal accidents. Enel employees plan a strike, and a nationwide work stoppage is also scheduled.

Rescuers face challenges due to fast-rising water levels at the power plant. Divers are leading the operations, yet the exact causes of the accident remain unknown.
