IOC to pay every Olympic athlete $10,000 regardless of result or country

The initiative marks a significant shift in how the IOC distributes revenue to athletes. Polish competitors, including Tomasiak, are among those set to benefit.

Should every Olympic athlete receive equal financial support regardless of their results?

Australia's Home Battery Boom Reduces Need for New Power Transmission Lines

Modelling by Australia's energy market operator AEMO shows that a recent boom in home batteries connected to the national grid means fewer new transmission lines will need to be built. This comes despite electricity use being expected to nearly double by 2050. The battery uptake is projected to generate significant cost savings on grid infrastructure investment.

Should governments subsidise home battery storage systems?
