Inside the US power struggle over coal

technologyreview.com Casey Crownhart 2026-03-12 05:00:00

But the Trump administration wants to keep coal power alive, and the US Department of Energy recently ordered some plants to stay open past their scheduled closures.

If you're having an inevitable home internet slowdown, my first recommendation is always to start with a speed test. In fact, I’ve tested and used dozens of internet speed tests -- the market is pretty saturated with them.

It is difficult enough to detect objects designed to blend with their environments, but when the objects have blurry edges, the detection process is even more problematic. However, in a paper written for the 2025 IEEE/CVF Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision (WACV), Jinpeng He, Biyuan Liu, and Huaixin Chen of the Uni
