Judge ordered Trump's name off Kennedy Center — tarps now block the facade view

A judge ordered Donald Trump's name removed from the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Rather than comply, the venue covered its facade with tarps, a move lawyers fighting the signage called "a petty act of defiance" that is "willfully sabotaging" the building's appearance to appeal to Trump's ego. The court is now demanding an explanation for why the tarps are blocking the view of the facade.

Should a sitting US president be allowed to put their name on the Kennedy Center?

Polish energy companies Orlen, Unimot, PGE, and Enea have reserved capacity at the planned FSRU 2 floating LNG terminal in the Gulf of Gdańsk.

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.
