States like Massachusetts, New York and California will better facilitate the care of these individuals who they have invited into our country by incentivizing illegal immigration through their designation as 'sanctuary states' and support for the Biden Administration's open border policies, Gov.

Ron DeSantis, via statement.

Julian Cyr, who represents Martha's Vineyard, said, "There was no advance notice to anyone in Martha's Vineyard or Massachusetts that these migrants were arriving to my knowledge." .

The island scrambled to respond.

They essentially set up shelters, the equivalent of a hurricane or Nor'easter.

They set that up in a matter of hours and these families received a meal.

They were COVID tested and are spending the night in shelters at several churches on the island, Julian Cyr, who represents Martha's Vineyard, via CNN.

Massachusetts Gov.

Charlie Baker issued a statement.

The Baker-Polito Administration is in touch with local officials regarding the arrival of migrants in Martha's Vineyard.

At this time, short-term shelter services are being provided by local officials, and the Administration will continue to support those efforts, Gov.

Charlie Baker, via statement.

Democratic officials in Florida responded to the move by DeSantis on Sept.

Even for Ron DeSantis, this is a new low.

There is nothing that DeSantis won't do, and nobody that he won't hurt, in order to score political points, Manny Diaz, Florida Democratic Chair, via statement.

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

Tombaugh discovered the tiny dwarf planet using a new astronomic technique of photographic plates combined with a blink microscope. Pluto was given the Roman name for the god of the underworld in Greek mythology due to its surface temperature of -360° F. Nearly four billion miles away from the sun, it takes Pluto approximately 248 years to complete one orbit. . Pluto's only known moon, Charon, has a diameter of a mere 737 miles. In 2006, it was announced that Pluto would no longer be considered a planet because its orbit crosses into the orbit of planet Neptune. While widely referred to as a dwarf planet, many argue that it should still be considered a planet.

The Paradox Basin, a geologic formation shared by Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona, has been analyzed by an Australian company and its U.S. subsidiaries. The basin's groundwater has been found to be rich in lithium salts and other minerals left over from millions of years ago when the area was repeatedly flooded and drained. Australia-based Anson Resources has also reportedly acquired rights to freshwater sourced from the nearby Green River. . The company's plans have given rise to questions about how the groundwater and river water are interconnected, in addition to the impact of lithium on the environment. 'The Guardian' points out that the Green River is a tributary of the crucial Colorado River, which supplies water for 40 million people in the West.
