The approach is like a Costco for heat pumps, and it’s helping make installations more accessible as heat waves worsen.

With rising temperatures and drier conditions, fires are more likely to explode. And with more people living next to forests, the results can be catastrophic.

The EPA has proposed a rule change that would let states decide how much input the public has on air pollution permits. It would be a huge boon for data centers increasingly reliant on fossil fuels.

This year’s World Cup has faced sweltering heat and humidity. Now it may need to deal with wildfire smoke.
