Energy Resilient:

What it Means to be Energy Resilient: Preparing for and Bouncing Back from Power Disruptions Energy resilience is the ability to anticipate, prepare for, and adapt to energy disruptions, as well as the capacity to rapidly recover from them. In an era of increasing extreme weather events, cybersecurity threats, and an aging electrical grid, the concept has become a critical priority for communities, businesses, and governments worldwide. It's about ensuring a reliable and continuous supply of energy to power our essential services and daily lives, even when the unexpected happens. While often used interchangeably, energy resilience is distinct from energy reliability. Reliability refers to the day-to-day consistency of the power supply under normal conditions—preventing routine outages. Resilience, on the other hand, is about withstanding and recovering from major, often unforeseen, events like hurricanes, wildfires, cyberattacks, or physical attacks on infrastructure.

(CNN)Air pollution is deadly:

(CNN) Air pollution is deadly: A new study links exposure to it to more than 107,000 premature deaths in the United States in 2011. It isn't just killing us; it cost the country $866 billion, more than double the value of all the economic activity in a country  like Ireland,  according to the study, published Monday in the  Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Particulate matter, or particle pollution, is the mix of solid and liquid droplets floating in the air, according to the  Environmental Protection Agency.  It can come in the form of dirt, dust, soot or smoke.   Particulate pollution comes from coal- and natural gas-fired plants. Cars, agriculture, unpaved roads, construction sites and wildfires can also create it. https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/08/health/particle-pollution-study/index.html

FAA Website What is NextGen?

What is NextGen? NextGen is the FAA-led modernization of our nation’s air transportation system. Its goal is to increase the safety, efficiency, capacity, predictability, and resiliency of American aviation. This overhaul brings together innovative technologies, capabilities, and procedures that improve how we fly from departure to arrival. Airlines,  general aviation  operators, pilots, and  air traffic controllers gain better information and tools that help passengers and cargo arrive at their destinations more quickly, while aircraft consume less fuel and produce fewer  emissions . This transformation is being achieved through an ongoing rollout of improvements which began in 2007. NextGen remains on target to have all major components in place by 2025. The modernization of the National Airspace System is one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in U.S. history. https://www.faa.gov/nextgen/what_is_nextgen/ ---------------------------...
