As Democrats Sour on Biden, , His Approval Rating Hits New Lows.

NPR reports President Joe Biden's approval rating has dropped again as more Democrats are turning against him.

Per the latest NPR/'PBS Newshour'/Marist poll, Biden's approval rating now sits at 36%.

The president's approval rating has slipped 4% since June, which is largely attributed to a 9-point decline within his own party.

Though 75% of Democrats still approve of the Biden administration, experts say that's low for a president's party of choice.

Unchanged from a month prior, merely 5% of Republicans and 28% of Independents approve of the work of the Biden administration.

A recent 'New York Times'/Siena College poll found two-thirds of Democrats would prefer a different candidate for president in 2024.

The plans can now only be renewed for up to four months instead of three years that were permitted under former President Donald Trump. . Additionally, short-term plan providers must clearly explain benefit limitations to consumers. . The president really believes the American people do not want to be taken for suckers and junk insurance takes them for suckers, Neera Tanden, Biden's domestic policy adviser, via statement. Short-term insurance is intended to temporarily serve as a safety net for periods of transition, such as switching jobs or prior to receiving Medicare. However, critics call these plans "junk insurance" because they're often misleading as far as what they actually cover. ABC News reports that the plans aren't required to cover those with preexisting conditions or pay for prescription drugs. In 2018, Trump expanded short-term plans and referred to them as "much less expensive health care at a much lower price.". Neera Tanden, Biden's domestic policy adviser, said that Trump undermined the Affordable Care Act (ACA) when he allowed insurance companies to sell inadequate short-term plans.

Aging Energy Infrastructure Plus Climate Change Are a Growing Risk [Video]

Aging Energy Infrastructure Plus Climate Change Are a Growing Risk

Aging Energy Infrastructure, Plus Climate Change, Are a Growing Risk. NPR reports that Texas investigators say that a power pole , "that appeared to be decayed at the base", was the cause of the worst wildfire in the state's history. Xcel Energy, the state's electric utility, said in a statement that , "its facilities appear to have been involved in an ignition of the Smokehouse Creek fire.". Rob Gramlich, president of consulting firm Grid Strategies, warns that many of the U.S.'s power lines were built 60 to 70 years ago. . According to Gramlich, most electric utility providers in the U.S. lack the technology to let them know when power lines are overheating or sagging. Combined with increased temperatures and drier vegetation, this aging infrastructure could spark larger, more intense wildfires. There are some utilities that are really leaders and are getting ahead of the risk, Michael Wara, director of the Climate and Energy Policy Program at the Woods Institute for the Environment at Stanford University, via NPR. And then there are others that we look at and think are walking into a catastrophe, Michael Wara, director of the Climate and Energy Policy Program at the Woods Institute for the Environment at Stanford University, via NPR. According to experts, wildfire prevention can not only impact safety, but also the cost of energy bills across the nation. We cannot afford – literally, in terms of our pocketbooks – to have utilities be perceived by their investors as high risk, Michael Wara, director of the Climate and Energy Policy Program at the Woods Institute for the Environment at Stanford University, via NPR. There is a set of practices that utilities can take that do not cost an arm and a leg that can dramatically cut the risk of outcomes like we saw in Texas, Michael Wara, director of the Climate and Energy Policy Program at the Woods Institute for the Environment at Stanford University, via NPR
