“Americans are already paying the price of climate change,” said Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) at a gathering at the US Capitol. “They shouldn’t have to pay the salaries of those who are fueling it.”

Reuters spoke to seven dairy farmers in five states who said they are reinforcing safety and cleaning procedures, with three producers exceeding government recommendations.
“Think of our farm now as a gated community for cows,” said Karen Jordan, who raises about 200 dairy cattle in Siler City, North Carolina. “Only the most essential person can get past the gate.”
In Fort Branch, Indiana, Steve Obert, 61, is requiring drivers to spray truck wheels with disinfectant before he allows them on his farm. He raises about 1,200 cows that produce milk for Dairy Farmers of America, a cooperative of more than 6,000 farms. Obert, who is also executive director of the industry group Indiana Dairy Producers, said bigger farms face increased risks, in part because they maintain large stocks of feed that attract wild birds that could be carrying the virus.

Sounds like hurricane season may be delayed and/or diminished. Which would be good considering the forecast called for a lot of hurricanes this season.

that would be a relief, for sure. going to need a lot of dust to cool the waters enough to avoid another coral bleaching like last summer.
of course, the drawback to a major dust plume is that it feeds the sargassum, making the floating mats bigger. that means a whole lot of stinky seaweed washed up on beaches from here to South America.
but then, better the smelly cleanup than the cleanup after a hurricane.

This is the sort of thing that really confuses me about Indiana.
The state charges an extra surcharge of hundreds of dollars a year to anyone with an electric or even hybrid car. The amount is calibrated to be higher than what would have been paid in gas tax for the year. It’s designed to be punitive.
But the state also is heavily invested in wind power, and then there’s pilot programs like this:
It’s like there are two opposite entities driving the bus.

I dont know,…
…will install a series of copper coils under the highway’s surface to test a new technology Purdue University researchers developed that can provide power to electric vehicles wirelessly as they drive past.
“Wouldn’t it really be something if we could just drive over the road and catch your charge for your vehicle as you drive across it?”
yeah, that would be something; why build infrastructure with direct high-voltage access points along a highway, when you can charge while-you-drive and waste mega- and likely gigawatts doing it? wireless charging with its typical energy losses of about 30-40% isnt much of an issue with small devices like phones, but scaled to cars and traffic? thats just stupid.
