“California's affordability crisis could lead to more relaxed emissions standards, according to a plan introduced by state Democrats,” reports Steve Large for CBS News Sacramento on July 23.

[Contributor's note: Energy affordability is a component of energy security].

Leading the group is state Senator Jerry McNerney of Stockton.

McNerney said details of the proposal are being negotiated, which could include relaxed emissions if prices rise to a certain level or if fuel storage drops too low.

McNerney's emergency plan follows the announced departure and closure of several state refineries, leaving a tight supply and potential for spikes if one of the refineries left, suddenly goes off-line.

Ethan Elkind, director of the UC Berkeley Center for Law, Energy, and the Environment, observes that the legislation is another illustration of how “California's environmental priorities are now taking a backseat to its affordability crisis when it comes to gas.”

"I think it's such a reflection of how much legislators are feeling this pressure to go to their constituents and say, 'Look, we're trying to reduce prices,' " Elkind said.

However, it's not clear that the legislation will have the intended effect of reducing prices as it doesn't have the backing of the oil industry.

The Western States Petroleum Association opposes the plan, saying it doesn't address their needs for more investments in their industry.

Furthermore, McNerney is no friend of the oil industry. In an op-ed he co-wrote on July 9 for The Mercury News, he advocates suing “Big Oil and Gas” for the climate damage they've caused. How will that affect fuel prices?

Safety workers recently encountered a scenario straight out of a sci-fi film while surveying a decommissioned nuclear weapons plant in South Carolina. According to the US Department of Energy, on July 3 a team at the Savannah River Site near the Georgia border, detected an irradiated wasp nest that exhibited a radiation level 10 times higher than the federal regulatory limit.

The hazardous insect abode was located near a set of tanks filled with liquid nuclear waste, although the team didn’t detect any leaks. Instead, experts believe the nest set off Geiger counters through what’s known as “onsite legacy radioactive contamination.” This term refers to leftover irradiation that was originally generated when a facility was fully operational. Officials also said there is no need to head to the bunkers.The surveyors didn’t find any actual wasps, but they still sprayed the nest with insecticide before disposing of it in accordance with radioactive waste procedures.

“No further action was required in the field,” the DOE report from July 22 reads. The team also confirmed there wasn’t any impact to “other activities and operations.”

A statement provided by the Savannah River Mission Completion (SRMC) to The Aiken Standard explained that, “While no wasps were found on the nest, the individual insects would have significantly lower levels of contamination.”

The remediation organization added, “F Tank Farm is centrally located inside the 310-square-mile Savannah River Site. Generally, wasps travel only a few hundred yards from their nest.” 

According to The Aiken Standard, the facility’s F Tank Farm consists of 22 carbon steel tanks buried about 23 feet underground. Each 80-100-foot-wide tank holds between 750,000 and 1,300,000 gallons of radioactive waste.

The Savannah River Site’s first nuclear reactor went critical in 1952, creating the means to produce plutonium pits—a core component for the era’s nuclear arsenal. The facility ultimately included five reactors. It generated over 165 million gallons of liquid nuclear waste before the site ceased its original operations in 1988. Today, Savannah River manufactures nuclear plant fuel, while remediation efforts continue on about 34 million gallons of remaining nuclear waste.

The site has faced repeated criticism from both environmental advocates and state representatives for decades. In 2017, a federal court dismissed a $100 million lawsuit filed by South Carolina that charged the state had become a “dumping ground for nuclear waste.” Following years of additional litigation efforts, South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson confirmed a $600 million settlement from the federal government regarding the remaining plutonium waste.

While a comparatively smaller issue, the radioactive wasp nest is already generating blowback from local watchdogs. Tom Clements, executive director of Savannah River Watch, told the Associated Press that he was “mad as a hornet” about the situation. Clements also contended the official report was incomplete at best because it didn’t provide adequate details on the source of contamination or if other similarly irradiated nests may be in the area. The report also didn’t include the species of wasp. Knowing which wasp species may have been useful for searching out other nests, as some wasps build their homes in the dirt while others construct them from other materials.

Indiana state lawmakers are seeking authority from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to introduce tolls on interstate freeways, reports Noël Fletcher in Transport Topics.

“The 33-page bipartisan bill signed in May by Gov. Mike Braun contains a tolling clause along with sections addressing bridges, low water crossings, transportation infrastructure bonds, a railroad tax credit, and a wheel and excise surtax.” The bill asks the FHWA for a waiver on toll lanes for interstates and calls for removing a requirement that the General Assembly must pass legislation to implement tolling.

According to the legislation, the state could gain $38.2 billion over a 22-year period through the rolls. It would be the first state to charge tolls on interstate freeways.  The proposal is opposed by the trucking industry but supported by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, which said in a report, “Providing much-needed infrastructure funding for local governments by increasing flexibility in transportation taxes and targeting grant opportunities is beneficial. This bill would also provide local units with a means of securing additional revenue for road and bridge projects, enhancing the state’s transportation network and economic development.”

Despite the best of intentions, travelers aren’t always in the clearest headspace when making a mad dash to the airport. So although we theoretically know the rules, plenty of passengers have a story of a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officer spotting something mortifying in their carry-on. The snafus range from embarrassing—a buzzing vibrator that sounds like a potential bomb threat—to stressful—cannabis products purchased legally, then accidentally carried into a state or country where they carry criminal charges.

Some of these prohibited items seem pretty obvious, but others beg the question, How the heck did they know that was in there?  If you’ve ever caught a glimpse of the squiggly, multicolored visual display on the X-ray scanner as you trudge to the body scanner, you may have found yourself wondering exactly how much information the Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) can decipher from it. 

A lot, as it turns out. If you have a pile of money or a container of pills in there, they’re gonna know. Ditto any electronics or, more importantly, any items sneakily hidden inside of them. 

That’s a good thing, since TSA agents pick up a whole lot of hazardous stuff, including knives, guns, and explosives.  “Prohibited items brought to checkpoints add up to hundreds of pounds a year at smaller airports to as much as 2,000 pounds or a ton per month at the largest airports,” says a TSA spokesperson. According to the administration, last year the government agency screened more than 2 billion carry-on bags and 494 million checked bags. Here’s how they did it.

Why do our ears pop on a plane? An audiologist explains.

Since 2002, when the TSA leveled up in the wake of September 11, virtually all agents have relied on Computed Tomography (CT) systems. “CT is a proven and highly effective screening technology that is widely used in the medical field,” says a TSA Spokesperson. 

Essentially, a TSA CT X-ray scanner sends low doses of X-rays through your luggage, which pass through the different materials at different rates. So the scanner can tell if there are metals, liquids, or even organic materials in there. 

“CT technology applies sophisticated algorithms and creates three-dimensional images by gathering hundreds of pictures with an X-ray camera spinning around the items,” says a TSA Spokesperson. “The images can be rotated 360 degrees on three axes, allowing for more detailed visual analysis by Transportation Security Officers and the detection of a broader range of threats without having to open the bag.”

Although the basic concept has remained the same, the tech is vastly more sophisticated these days. That’s a big part of why this year the TSA finally decided to let travelers keep their stinky feet shod while going through security. In fact, the newer models of CT scanners are so adept at reading your luggage that you can safely leave your laptops in your carry-on. Some can even tell if the liquids in your luggage contain explosives. While those aren’t widely available yet, there’s hope in the future that we might finally be able to fly with normal-sized shampoo again. 

“TSA officers encounter everything from fireworks and replica grenades to snakes and literal kitchen sinks,” says a TSA Spokesperson. “Knives, martial arts items and large tools are among the most common items.”

Some of the finds are so outlandish that the TSA started pulling together an annual roundup on their official YouTube channel. For instance, last year, a passenger at Chicago Midway International Airport tried to hide a vape in a tube of toothpaste. In 2023, passengers tried to smuggle a knife in a loaf of bread and a DIY explosive in a soda can. And in 2022, drug mules got creative by putting narcotics in hair scrunchies and Fentanyl in candy.  

While ninja throwing stars (yes, really) and pipebombs are obviously out, it’s always a good idea to check the TSA’s guidelines if you’re not sure about a particular item. 

Even if you mess up and throw your full-sized skincare routine in your carry-on, don’t stress too much. Agents don’t actually confiscate most prohibited items, so unless you’re channeling Walter White or Tony Montana, you have a good chance of hanging onto them. You’re generally allowed to hand items to a friend or family member at the airport who isn’t boarding with you. Alternatively, you can usually go back to the ticket counter and ask to put it in your checked luggage.

Oh, and it’s an urban myth that TSA officers swipe the fancy bottle of Scotch you bought on the trip for themselves. The majority of the items surrendered (or just forgotten) at airport security actually wind up in a state-sponsored auction on GovDeals.com. Think about it this way: If you’re still mad about losing your favorite shampoo, you can score some terrific deals on everything from kitchen knives to Macbooks. It’s like the airport security circle of life.

In a potentially unprecedented move, an Ontario judge blocked the provincial government’s plan to remove bike lanes in Toronto, calling the decision unconstitutional. The court ruled that removing the three bike lanes in question “will put people at increased risk of harm and death, which engages the right to life and security of the person.”

As Julia Alevato explains for CBC News, “The province has been pushing for the removals as a solution to Toronto's traffic congestion, but cyclists and advocates say bike lanes are crucial for public safety and that removing them won't solve traffic concerns.” The judge concluded the removals would not reduce congestion — in fact, that bike lanes do so by offering an alternative method of transportation.

The removal of the bike lanes was a campaign issue for Premier Doug Ford, who promised to remove the bike lanes despite opposition from Toronto’s mayor and bike advocacy groups. According to a city spokesperson, “The city is tackling the root causes of congestion by hiring traffic agents, speeding up construction, and improving subways, streetcars, and buses so more people take public transit.”

As humans, one of our biggest evolutionary advantages is our chompers. Our combination of molars, canines, and incisors help us to consume a diverse and omnivorous diet, unlike many other animals. This dramatically expands the available menu for energy sources, and thus increases nutritional options and the chance of survival. But according to a study published on July 31 in the journal Science, our early hominin ancestors’ desire to bite off more than they could literally chew is the likely reason for our dental evolution.

The findings come from a team led by researchers at Dartmouth College, and offer the human fossil record’s first known evidence of what’s known as behavioral drive—the tendency for a species to develop routines that are helpful for their survival before their physiology evolves to meet these demands.

“We can definitively say that hominins were quite flexible when it came to behavior and this was their advantage,” anthropologist and study lead author Luke Fannin said in a statement.

Fannin explained that anthropologists often discuss hominin behavioral and morphological changes as if they evolved in tandem with one another. Instead, his team’s analysis indicates that early human behavior was its own evolutionary force—one with large implications for our physical and dietary journey.

Fannin and colleagues reached their conclusions by examining multiple sets of fossilized teeth from various hominin and primate species, starting with one of our distant relatives from 3.9 to 2.9 million years ago called Australopithecus afarensis. Researchers were particularly interested in their levels of graminoids, the carbon and oxygen isotopes left behind from eating grasses and sedges. They also looked at fossil teeth from two extinct primate species who were contemporaries of A. afarensis—huge terrestrial monkeys that looked similar to baboons called theropiths, as well as smaller herbivorous monkeys known as colobines.

The team discovered that while A. afarensis, theropiths, and colobines all initially preferred a diet heavy in insects, fruits, and flowers, they started shifting to the tougher, graminoid-heavy sedges and grasses 3.4 to 4.8 million years ago. However, these changing palettes came at least 700,000 years before their teeth and digestive systems optimized for the vegetation.

Then, about 2.3 million years ago, hominin teeth began exhibiting significantly smaller amounts of oxygen and carbon isotopes. According to researchers, this implies that the era’s human ancestor—Homo rudolfensis—lessened their grass intake for oxygen-depleted water. They offered three possible theories for this. In one scenario, H. rudolfensis simply drank far more water than other primates and African animals. Another hypothesis is that they adopted behavior similar to today’s hippopotamuses, spending their days submerged in water and eating at night. The explanation most consistent with early-human behavior, however, is that the hominins started harvesting underground, carbohydrate-rich plant parts like tubers and bulbs.

The latter argument tracks with a species rapidly growing in physical size and numbers. Energy-rich plants were everywhere, they didn’t fight back like prey, and were more nutritious. At this point in history, ancient humans were also beginning to form stone tools that made searching for underground plants even easier.

“We propose that this shift to underground foods was a signal moment in our evolution,” Fannin said. “It created a glut of carbs that were perennial—our ancestors could access them at any time of year to feed themselves and other people.”

According to study senior author Nathaniel Dominy, one of anthropology’s remaining “burning questions” is “What did hominins do differently that other primates didn’t do?”

“This work shows that the ability to exploit grass tissues may be our secret sauce,” he said.

Traffic cameras are extremely divisive, with critics calling them a cash grab or raising equity concerns. However, Alan Ehrenhalt notes in Governing, the evidence shows that speed and red-light cameras save lives.

“When you reduce the number of police traffic stops for speeding or red-light running, the number of accidents goes up. When you install cameras to catch the offenders, the number goes down,” Ehrenhalt explains. “One recent study estimated that traffic cameras along one particularly dangerous roadway in Philadelphia prevented as many as 20 crashes per month and up to 1.4 monthly deaths.” Speeding infractions on that roa dropped by 90 percent after the cameras were installed. Other studies show similarly encouraging results.

According to the article, 22 states and Washington, D.C. have red-light cameras, and 24 use them to catch speeding violations. On the other end of the spectrum, 10 states ban traffic cameras altogether.

Ultimately, Ehrenhalt concludes, “when you add it all up, saving lives is more important than traffic tickets.” While traffic cameras may sometimes issue tickets drivers find unfair, their benefits in increased road safety far outweigh that cost.

Each year, tens of thousands gather at Alondra Park in Lawndale, California, to celebrate the Ho'olaule'a Festival, the largest Hawaiian cultural event in Los Angeles. The vibrant festival is a powerful symbol of the enduring ties that Native Hawaiians maintain with their heritage — even 2,500 miles from the Islands. Southern California, especially LA County, now hosts the largest concentration of Native Hawaiians outside of Hawaii, a reflection of a decades-long migration driven by economic factors, educational opportunities, and a strong sense of community connection.

As reported by Christine Hitt, the draw of Los Angeles lies in its established Hawaiian cultural infrastructure, including hula schools, civic clubs, music concerts, and aloha festivals. These provide a “Hawaii-adjacent” life for many who feel cultural longing but find comfort in a robust pan-Pacific Islander community. Leaders like Ipo Alkhaldi and Heather Heleloa, both active in community-building and cultural preservation, help connect diasporic Hawaiians through digital platforms and civic engagement. Their work also highlights the evolving nature of Hawaiian identity, which now includes those born and raised on the mainland with varying degrees of connection to Hawaii itself.

While some Native Hawaiians relocate due to Hawaii's high cost of living and limited job prospects, many — like filmmaker Christen Marquez — grapple with broader issues of displacement tied to colonization and historical loss of land. Through storytelling, activism, and cultural expression, Marquez and others are reshaping the narrative of what it means to be Hawaiian in the diaspora. For them, Los Angeles is not just a place of residence — it’s a space where generations of Hawaiians continue to thrive, find solidarity, and preserve their culture far from home.

The Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee advanced a bipartisan housing bill called the Renewing Opportunity in the American Dream (ROAD) to Housing Act, reports Ryan Kushner for Smart Cities Dive. 

The bill reduces environmental regulations for new housing and incentivizes development through grants for cities that promote policies that “remove regulatory barriers to the construction or preservation of housing units, including affordable housing units.”

The bill includes over 27 provisions that address housing affordability from a few angles. Among other things, the bill would exempt some projects from NEPA review, reform manufactured housing regulations to eliminate the chassis requirement that hinders more widespread adoption of modular housing type, and require states and cities to reform zoning codes to meet their housing needs.

One proposal would create a $200 million Innovation Fund grant program for jurisdictions that implement “demonstrable ways to expand housing supply in their jurisdictions.”

What came first, the potato or the tomato? A new genetics study says the answer is that juicy, fragrant tomatoes were the first to arrive on planet Earth, and eventually helped starchy spuds do the same. 

About 9 million years ago, a natural inbreeding in the wild between tomato plants and a potato-like plant species in present-day South America gave way to what we know as the potato. This new (and nutritious) plant arose from an evolutionary event that triggered the formation of the tuber–the underground structure that plants like potatoes, yams, and taros use to store food. The findings are detailed in a study published July 31 in the journal Cell.

“Our findings show how a hybridization event between species can spark the evolution of new traits, allowing even more species to emerge,” Sanwen Huang, a study co-author and agricultural genomicist at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said in a statement. “We’ve finally solved the mystery of where potatoes came from.” 

Potatoes are one of humanity’s most important crops. Spuds provide basic nutrients including carbohydrates, dietary fiber (found in their skin), and vitamins and minerals like potassium, magnesium, and iron. They are also considered a climate-friendly crop by the United Nations, due to their low greenhouse gas emissions compared to other crops. They can also grow in areas where some natural resources are limited and expensive. Potatoes are versatile and can grow in a wide variety of conditions, making them a good crop choice for several regions.  

Despite being such a staple crop, the origin of this starchy staple has puzzled scientists. Modern potato plants physically look almost identical to three potato-like species from Chile called Etuberosums. However, Etuberosums do not have the signature tubers that allow potatoes to store nutrients and easily reproduce. This is part of why Etuberosums are considered “potato-like” and not full spuds. Phylogenetic analysis also shows that potato plants are actually more closely related to tomatoes than Etuberosums.

To look closer, the research team from this new paper studied 450 genomes from cultivated potatoes common on farms and 56 wild potato species. 

“Wild potatoes are very difficult to sample, so this dataset represents the most comprehensive collection of wild potato genomic data ever analyzed,” added Zhiyang Zhang, a study co-author and biologist at the Agricultural Genomics Institute at Shenzhen, part of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. 

Every potato species contained a mix of genetic material from both Etuberosum and tomato plants. According to the team, this suggests that modern potatoes originated from a hybridization event–when individuals from two different species successfully reproduce–between these plants millions of years ago.  While Etuberosums and tomatoes are distinct species, they do share a common ancestor that lived about 14 million years ago. Even after diverging for about 5 million years, both could interbreed. This interbreeding is what gave  rise to the earliest potato plants with tubers roughly 9 million years ago. 

[ Related: Scientists finally figured out why tomatoes don’t kill you. ]

The researchers also traced the origins of the key tuber-forming genes within the potato. The gene that tells the plant when to start making tubers (called SP6A) came from the tomato side of the family and not the potato-like plants. A separate important gene which helps control growth of the underground stems that form tubers (called IT1) came from the Etuberosum side. Without either of these genetic pieces, it would be impossible for the resulting hybrid offspring to produce tubers. 

Additionally, this evolutionary innovation overlapped with the rapid uplift of the Andes mountains. New ecological environments were emerging with all of this upheaval. Early potatoes were able to respond with a tuber that stores nutrients underground–a very helpful trait for surviving harsh mountain weather conditions. Tubers also allow potato plants to reproduce without pollination or seeds. Buds sprout right from the tuber to grow new plants, so this trait helped potatoes rapidly spread. They eventually filled diverse ecological niches from the mild lower-lying grasslands up to high and cold meadows in Central and South America. 

“Evolving a tuber gave potatoes a huge advantage in harsh environments, fueling an explosion of new species and contributing to the rich diversity of potatoes we see and rely on today,” Huang said.

My nephew’s birthday happens to be a few weeks before he finally starts high school, so I finally get to flex my “I don’t have kids” money. Now, instead of borrowing his mom’s 9-year-old Dell for the next four years, I’m getting him his own computer, and it even comes with a few extras. I went with this bundle, which pairs a MacBook Pro with a lifetime license for Microsoft Office, because no relative of mine is paying software subscriptions if they don’t have to. Also, it was all on sale for $419.99 (reg. $1,799).

The MacBook is a 13-inch model from 2020, refurbished but in near-mint condition. It has 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD, which is more than enough for school stuff and the occasional YouTube spiral, but not so much that he can lose all his time to games like I did at his age. My GPA never recovered from The Witcher 3.

The keyboard is nice to type on, and the Touch ID means he won’t forget his password every week. It also has four Thunderbolt ports and a battery that should last through most of the school day, or at least long enough to look busy.

The bundle also includes Microsoft Office, which I know sounds boring, but it’s the kind of thing that saves him (and probably his mom) from the panic of not having Word installed the night before something’s due. The license is tied to his account and lasts forever, so nobody is going to be getting calls about renewing anything.

Time to see if this makes me seem like the cool or boring aunt.

If you need a gift idea for pretty much any school-aged person, you can still get this bundle with a MacBook Pro and a Microsoft Office lifetime license for $419.99.
