Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 06:34:09 GMT

This past summer, millions of Californians trekked to the beach to relax, swim, surf and beat the heat. Chances are very few of them realized the waves they frolicked in might also help us achieve our clean-energy and climate-mitigation goals.Anybody who has wiped out while surfing or been knocked down by a wave knows first-hand the power of the ocean. It’s that very power that marine-energy innovators are now tapping into as a source of clean, reliable and renewable power.As the environmental consequences of conventional energy production have become painfully clear, wave and tidal energy is being recognized worldwide for its potential role in a carbon-free energy future. And that potential is vast.The National Renewable Energy Lab has reported that U.S. marine energy resources are equal to roughly 57% of the nation’s 2019 electricity generation — enough to power approximately 220 million U.S. homes. According to the lab, California’s marine energy resource potential could su...

En Israel, “el lugar donde quieres que crezcan tus hijos” se convirtió de repente en frente de batalla

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 06:34:09 GMT

(CNN) — La gente de Be’eri a veces solía decir que la razón por la que el kibutz israelí estaba tan cerca de Gaza era porque, de lo contrario, sería demasiado perfecto.“Era una broma, algo que solíamos decir porque Be’eri es muy hermosa. Es el lugar donde quieres que crezcan tus hijos. La puesta de sol es hermosa, los campos son verdes, tiene todo lo que deseas de un lugar de vacaciones”, dijo Lotan Pinyan a CNN este miércoles.La proximidad de Be’eri a Gaza, que está a sólo unos pocos kilómetros de distancia, significa que la comunidad liberal ha sido un objetivo frecuente de los cohetes de Hamas disparados desde el enclave, generalmente interceptados por las defensas israelíes. Los cohetes eran el único inconveniente de este lugar, por lo demás idílico, dirían Pinyan y sus amigos. “Ya no es una broma”, dijo.Temprano el sábado por la mañana, militantes de Hamás irrumpieron en Be’eri y dejaron tras de sí una devastación de escala inimaginable...
