Louisiana residents already pay high electric bills for a very unreliable power grid that just recently left nearly 100,000 Louisianans in the dark due to electricity shortages. And now, the state’s largest utility company is trying to get approval for a project that could have major negative consequences for both grid reliability and affordability, with very little transparency to the people who would be most impacted.
During a severe heat wave in 2023, scientists scuba diving off the coast of Papua New Guinea captured clownfish to measure their bodies. Between February and August, they calculated the length of 134 of these iconic, orange and white fish once a month, taking a total of six measurements for each fish. Those measurements revealed something peculiar: Most of the fish shrank.
