Unpreparedness of Clean Energy
The state of Vermont boasts one of the most environmentally friendly power grids in the United States, with two thirds of its electricity being derived from renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric plants. The current objective is to increase this figure to 75% by the year 2032. It was therefore surprising when a new solar project in the region was recently denied, given the area's potential for renewable energy despite its low population. The existing power plants, in conjunction with a regular power supply from Canada, already contribute approximately 450 megawatts of electricity to the grid. However, the grid's capacity is limited to around 450 megawatts, rendering it incapable of accommodating any additional power generated in the area.

Why Forest Fire Suppression is Actually Disastrous
During the summer of 1910, the western region of the United States was engulfed in flames. The confluence of scorching temperatures, arid conditions, and gale-force winds fueled the inferno, culminating in a catastrophic firestorm. The conflagration ravaged an expanse of 3 million acres within a mere two days, reducing entire towns to cinders and claiming the lives of nearly 90 individuals. The magnitude of the devastation wrought by the blaze was so profound that it significantly influenced US forest policy for many years to come, particularly for a nascent agency. Following the 1910 conflagration, the US Forest Service shifted its primary focus to fire suppression, which initially proved to be highly effective. For several decades, the majority of accidental and natural forest fires were promptly extinguished.

Missing Plastic Garbage in Ocean
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is situated between Hawaii and California, occupying an area approximately twice the size of Texas. Over the course of several decades, a significant amount of plastic waste has accumulated in this region due to the presence of swirling ocean currents. The appearance of the patch resembles a cloudy soup, as the plastic objects are widely dispersed and vary in size from large debris to microscopic particles. It is worth noting that there are at least four other garbage patches of similar nature across the globe, which were discovered by scientists in the 1990s. It was hypothesized that these patches serve as a final destination for a considerable amount of plastic waste that ends up floating on the surface of the ocean.
