This week's current events:

  • Biden administration grants Temporary Protected Status to about 470,000 Venezuelans, instantly making it legal for them to work
  • We continue to plod towards a government shutdown
  • The Supreme Court once again tells Alabama it needs to properly represent its black voters in its Congressional map
  • The leaders of the WGA agree to a tentative deal to end the writers' strike
  • The UAW expands its strike against Stellantis and GM
  • Biden administration seeks to scrub medical debt from credit scores
  • FTC v. Amazon begins
  • Refugee resettlements are on the rise
  • Biden administration announces a Civilian Climate Corps
  • A debate rages between renewable companies in New York about whether price hikes should be allowed for some projects

In our deep dive, we look at the transition from fossil fuels for energy generation to renewables like solar and wind. We talk about how the costs for renewables have gone down, why they still are less popular, how we can remove barriers, differences in progress amongst different parts of the world, and more.
