Many Republicans are blaming former President Trump for the lack of a red wave on Tuesday. The former president may announce next week that he's running for president in 2024. He's already slamming his possible primary opponent, Florida governor Ron DeSantis, in what could be the start of a civil war of sorts in the Republican party. Charlotte Hill is director of the new Democracy Policy Initiative at UC Berkeley’s Goldman School of Public Policy.

In order for California to meet its ambitious climate goals of eliminating greenhouse gas emissions from power generation ... the state is going to need one key piece of technology to work out. 

That would be battery storage ... and so far building out battery capacity isn't going according to plan.  

Governor Gavin Newsom says the state is making progress, but it will be far short of meeting its goals in building out battery storage farms.  

Alan Scheller-Wolf studies and teaches about sustainable energy systems at Carnegie Mellon University. 

He tells KNX News why batteries are necessary to help make renewable energies like wind and solar viable.

Wolf says building batteries is a messy business.

Wolf says there are also unanswered questions about what to do with batteries ... made up of highly toxic components ... when they reach the end of their service life.

So he says it's not surprising the state isn't where it wants to be on battery storage ... but there are few realistic alternatives.

As public health officials grow increasingly more concerned about the spread of the H5N1 bird virus among cattle stocks in the U.S., there are parallels being drawn to the start of the COVID pandemic.

And those parallels aren't exactly hopeful.

Dr. Art Caplan heads the medical ethics department at NYU ... he tells KNX News that in just a few short years, we've seemingly forgotten ALL of the lessons we should've learned from COVID.

He says we're once again letting our guard down as the bird flu is spreading.

Dr. Caplan tells us even if the H5N1 virus doesn't turn into a global threat ... the next dangerous virus is likely already out there.

The latest round of bird flu testing in cows shows signs of the dead virus actually making into the milk supply that ends up supermarket shelves.
