What Went Wrong With California's High-Speed Railway

California Governor Gavin Newsom announced in 2019 that he was curtailing plans to construct a statewide high-speed rail system – instead only completing the Merced to Bakersfield section for which funding is already in hand and construction is underway – leaves a lot of people wondering if the failure of this project in the richest state in the U.S. means that high-speed rail is doomed to failure throughout America.

It promised to transform how Californians travel but is now seen as a "bullet train to nowhere." This is why America's west coast megaproject has been far from high-speed.

Spain: Motorway - Roads & Highways built from Waste Paper

सीमेंट जितनी मजबूत है कागज से बनी ये सड़क

स्पेन में रद्दी कागज की राख से सड़क बनाई जा रही है. अब तक इस काम में सीमेंट का इस्तेमाल होता था लेकिन उसमें बहुत ज्यादा कार्बन उत्सर्जन होता है. कागज की राख वाली सड़क कार्बन उत्सर्जन और कचरे का ढेर दोनों घटाएगी.

 

This road made of paper is as strong as cement. In Spain, a road is being built from the ashes of scrap paper. Till now cement was used in this work but it has a lot of carbon emissions. The paper ash road will reduce both carbon emissions and waste dumps.

Harvesting Wind with Energy producing Kites

बिजली बनाने का यह तरीका कल्पना से बहुत अलग है

ग्रीन इकोनॉमी के लिए ऊर्जा बनाने के टिकाऊ तरीके अहम हैं. सूरज, पानी और हवा जैसे अक्षय ऊर्जा के स्रोत इस वक्त हमारे विकल्प हैं. लेकिन इस दिशा में और काम करने की जरूरत है ताकि ये बेहतर भी बनें और सस्ते भी. बर्लिन की एक स्टार्टअप कंपनी पवन ऊर्जा का इस्तेमाल कर रही है लेकिन ये हमारी विंड फॉर्म की कल्पना से बहुत ही अलग है.

पवन लंबे समय से अक्षय ऊर्जा स्रोत रहा है, लेकिन बर्लिन का एक स्टार्ट-अप चीजों को थोड़ा अलग तरीके से कर रहा है। इसने पवन ऊर्जा की कटाई के लिए ऊर्जा पतंग विकसित की है और वे पवन टरबाइन की तुलना में बहुत अधिक कुशल हो सकती हैं।

 

Sustainable ways of making energy are important for a green economy. Renewable energy sources like the sun, water and wind are our options at the moment. But more work needs to be done in this direction so that they become better as well as cheap. A Berlin-based startup company is using wind energy, but it is very different from our wind farm imagination.

Wind has long been a go-to renewable energy source, but one Berlin start-up is doing things a little differently. It's developed energy kites to harvest wind energy and they could be much more efficient than wind turbines.

Matt Hancock says it's too early to determine whether the UK's lockdown will end on June 21.

According to UK government estimations, the delta version of Covid-19, which was first found in India last month and is now the dominant strain in England, has had a "quite significant" impact, according to Hancock.

He noted a resurgence of Covid-19 instances, but said he was comforted by a relatively flat rate of hospitalizations and deaths as officials explore ways to lift the lockdown.

"It's too early to make a final decision on that," Hancock told Sky News. "The prime minister and I and the team will be looking at all the data over this week. We've said that we'll give people enough time ahead of the June 21 date.

"We are not saying 'No' to June 21 at this point," he added. Hancock said it was important that people receive both doses of Covid-19 vaccines as the data showed this could protect effectively against the delta variant.
