Andrew Forrest travels the globe trying to persuade leaders of industry and politics — and rank-and-file workers — that despite his polluting past he’s the man to champion green hydrogen as the clean fuel of the future. M ore than a couple of the dozen or so coal-plant workers gathered at West Virginia’s Pleasants Power Station in April to hear Andrew Forrest push his green hydrogen agenda rolled their eyes as he spoke. “I believe this coal-fired power station has a huge future,” the Australian mining billionaire told them. The employees could be forgiven for their skepticism. Just weeks before, they learned their plant, surrounded by other closures throughout coal country, would be the latest to shut down . Forrest’s message was heartfelt, contrarian and a bit pie in the sky. In West Virginia, the second-largest coal-producing region in the U.S., Forrest told the workers that 22 of the state’s 26 coal-powered plants could be converted to green hydrogen plants.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Stephen Curry has no parallel. There is nobody like him in today’s pace-and-space era. If you teleported him into the 1980s or 90s, everyone in the NBA would think aliens had infiltrated Earth. His incomparable range, glitzy ball-handling, and spellbinding scoring prowess would not be of human form. Even in the modern league, the one he’s largely responsible for shifting, Curry is not replicable. Many players can mimic his style, or believe they have the same DNA and shooting touch to warrant a similar shot diet. But there is only one. And there are no duplicates of the greatest winner and leader of the last 10 years. Before 2014, nobody had struck the perfect balance between off-the-dribble wizardry and selfless off-ball principles – certainly not to the extent of being the focal point of the deadliest motion offense in history. In 75 years of the league’s existence, Curry is the only player – let alone … [Read more...] about Where Does Stephen Curry Rank All-Time After Fourth NBA Championship?

Berlin/London (CNN Business) Europe's biggest economy is now officially running short of natural gas and is escalating a crisis plan to preserve supplies ahead of winter as Russia turns off the taps. Germany on Thursday activated the second phase of its three-stage gas emergency program , taking it one step closer to rationing supplies to industry — a step that would deliver a huge blow to the manufacturing heart of its economy. ''Gas is from now on in short supply in Germany," Economy Minister Robert Habeck told reporters at a press conference in Berlin. "Even if you don't feel it yet: We are in a gas crisis." Europe's energy crisis escalated this month as Russia further reduced supplies to Germany, Italy and and other members of the European Union. Russia's state gas company Gazprom slashed flows through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline to Germany by 60% last week, blaming the move on the West's decision to withhold vital turbines because of … [Read more...] about Germany declares gas crisis as Russia cuts supplies to Europe

A version of this story appeared in the June 24 edition of CNN's Royal News, a weekly dispatch bringing you the inside track on Britain's royal family. Sign up here. Kigali, Rwanda (CNN) Better late than never. That was the general reaction to Prince Charles' opening speech at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Kigali on Friday. The prince will succeed his mother as head of the organization -- an association of independent states that emerged out of the ashes of the British Empire. That empire will forever be associated with slavery, and Prince Charles made it clear in his opening remarks that he wants to change the status quo and begin a dialogue about it. "While we strive together for peace, prosperity and democracy I want to acknowledge that the roots of our contemporary association run deep into the most painful period of our history," he told delegates. "I cannot describe the depths of my personal sorrow at the suffering of so many, as I continue to … [Read more...] about Prince Charles says ‘time has come’ to confront legacy of slavery

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Hey Tech Lady, I have a co-worker that constantly interrupts me and doesn’t listen to my input. How can I navigate the situation and assert myself without coming across as aggressive or intimidating? — Jaime S., Engineer, via LinkedIn. I nterruptions are something I’m all too familiar with. Between work, three insistent kids, two drooly dogs and a neurotic cat, I'm amazed when I can complete even the simplest task without disturbance and still hold on to my sanity. And that’s up for debate. Occasional interruptions are an annoyance, sure, but they often lack ill intent, so most of us brush them off pretty easily. It can be a brief, momentary clash or one of those awkward conversations when, for some unknown reason, you and whomever you’re speaking with have different rhythms that just won’t harmonize, so you stumble through talking over each other. Life isn’t scripted, so we live through the outtakes. … [Read more...] about Hey Tech Lady: Girl, Interrupted — And What You Can Do About It

A woman takes a picture of a globe at the COP21, the United Nations Climate Change Conference Monday, Dec. 7, 2015 in Le Bourget, north of Paris. The Paris conference is the 21st time world governments are meeting to seek a joint solution to climate change. The talks are focused on reducing emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, primarily by shifting from oil, coal and gas to cleaner sources of energy. AP LE BOURGET — Weary envoys from 195 nations battling to forge an accord to save mankind from disastrous global warming emerged Thursday from all-night talks facing an imminent deadline with deal-breaking rows still unresolved. More than two decades of bruising international diplomacy have failed to produce such a pact, which would require the world’s energy system to cut back on burning coal, oil and gas that releases planet-warming gases. The 195-nation UN talks in the French capital have been billed as the last chance to avert worst-case-scenario climate … [Read more...] about Crunch time after all-night climate talks in Paris
