SHANGHAI: China should accelerate development of nuclear power to help meet Beijing's pledges to bring greenhouse gas emissions to a peak before 2030 and become "carbon neutral" by 2060, according to industry delegates at the annual session of parliament. China said in its 2021-2025 five-year plan released on Friday that it would raise total nuclear capacity to 70 gigawatts (GW) by the end of 2025. Capacity reached 51 GW at the end of last year, falling short of its 58 GW target. But Luo Qi, an expert with China's Atomic Energy Research Institute and member of parliament's advisory second chamber, warned that current targets did not match the country's climate ambitions, and construction should be stepped up. "By 2035, nuclear plants in operation should reach around 180 gigawatts, amounting to 5% of total capacity," he said in a proposal published by the state-owned China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC). Gu Jun, CNNC's president and member of the National … [Read more...] about China should speed nuclear development to meet carbon goals – legislators

Fox News host Tucker Carlson said "partisan judges" were trying to "destroy" election night on November 3 as state courts extended mail-in ballot deadlines. Delivering a monologue on the network last night, Carlson said judges in Pennsylvania and Michigan wanted votes to be counted for weeks so legal challenges could be brought against ballots in the key battleground states. The Quote "There's nothing partisan judges would like to destroy more in the end than a quick, efficient, fraud-free election night. That's the goal here, make no mistake. "If all the votes are counted in one night, no one will have time to issues rulings to throw out ballots they don't like. And that's why judges in Pennsylvania and Michigan want poll workers to count votes for weeks after election day. "With their rulings last week, they made that essentially inevitable. It'll be a disaster, we know that for certain, we've seen it before during the Iowa caucuses this past February." Why it Matters … [Read more...] about Fox News Host Tucker Carlson Says ‘Partisan Judges’ Want to Destroy ‘Fraud-Free’ Election Night

In each of the past seven years, major tech companies have released diversity reports, charting the number of women and people of color they employ. The numbers are reported to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, but companies have dedicated more and more resources to publicly displaying their commitments to diversity. The displays are impressive. The results are not. These companies spend millions on targeted outreach and strategic partnerships, but the results change little from year to year. Between 2014 and 2020, for example, the share of Black and Latinx tech workers at Facebook each increased by less than 2 percentage points. It seemed the same story year after year. Until 2020. The nationwide reckoning on race and racism last year exposed what many tasked with diversity work have privately discussed for years: that Silicon Valley’s own diversity and recruitment structures can hinder the work of opening doors to new people from different backgrounds with new … [Read more...] about Black Tech Employees Rebel Against ‘Diversity Theater’

The University of Canterbury has committed to helping indigenous rangatahi (youth) prosper with the establishment of a new Māori Futures Academy. Partnering with Ngāi Tahu’s Tokona Te Raki Māori Futures Collective, the centre will launch in April and give paid internships to 10 rangatahi per year for the next three years.
