A hot potato: App developers frustrated with Apple's and Google's "unfair" walled-garden policies have a new champion. Meta and several other organizations have formed a coalition to challenge the "duopoly" these two mobile platform giants have built. Initial efforts focus on age verification reform, but the alliance also plans to tackle several other restrictive policies maintained by both companies.

Meta has joined forces with Spotify, Garmin, Match, and others to form a lobby group to represent their interests, especially as they come into conflict with those of Apple and Google. The group’s first order of business is arguing that age verification should be the responsibility of app stores, and not the apps themselves. Bloomberg reports that the Coalition for a Competitive Mobile Experience will fight for app makers’ interests on a range of fronts, including ensuring that Apple and Google

Coal-fired power plants have done their fair share of damage over the past century. From climate change to acid rain, black lung to heart disease, they’ve generally been on the debit side of the ledger. But lurking in the literal ashes is something of a minor climate savior. “Ash can be used to replace up to 30% of cement,” Krish Mehta, co-founder and CEO of PHNX Materials, told TechCrunch. By displacing cement in concrete, fly ash from coal plants can eliminate a significant chunk of the mate

Trump has long espoused a love of coal. “I call it beautiful, clean coal—I tell my people to never use the word ‘coal’ unless you put ‘beautiful, clean’ before it,” the president recently said during a press event involving a backdrop of men dressed in coal miner outfits. The former reality TV star has also called the coal industry “just about the best,” and recently passed an executive order that seeks to “Reinvigorate America’s Beautiful Clean Coal Industry.” Whether the current president act

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump held a press conference to announce the signing of executive orders intended to shape American energy policy in favor of one particular source: coal, the most carbon-intense fossil fuel. “I call it beautiful, clean coal,” President Trump said while flanked by a crowd of miners at the White House. The crowd chuckled knowingly at the now-familiar phrase. “I tell my people never use the word coal, unless you put ‘beautiful, clean’ before it.” Trump has talked ab

As President Donald Trump signed a slew of executive orders Tuesday aimed at keeping coal power alive in the United States, he repeatedly blamed his predecessor, Democrats, and environmental regulations for the industry’s dramatic contraction over the past two decades. But across the country, state and local officials and electric grid operators have been confronting a factor in coal’s demise that is not easily addressed with the stroke of a pen: its cost. For example, Maryland’s only remainin

President Donald Trump signed executive orders Tuesday to benefit the coal industry in the U.S., appearing in front of a backdrop of coal miners at the White House. And if there was one thing to take away from Trump’s carefully crafted stunt, it’s that he believes Americans don’t want fancy penthouses or desk jobs. Americans want to work in the coal mines, according to the president. “One thing I learned about the coal miners is that’s what they want to do,” Trump said. “You could give them a p

President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order on Tuesday aimed at boosting coal’s flagging fortunes, reports Bloomberg. The order will direct the federal government to list coal as a critical mineral and force some coal-fired power plants that had faced closure to keep generating electricity. The Trump Administration is expected to couch the directive as part of an effort to ramp up electricity production as demand from data centers surges. While the executive order might forestall

O n December 22, 2008, Ansol Clark woke to a ringing phone. It was sometime before 6 a.m., far earlier than he had intended to get up. He drove construction trucks for a living, but he’d been furloughed recently, leaving him little to do in the three days before Christmas except wrap gifts and watch movies with his grown son, Bergan. The house was dark. Janie, Ansol’s wife of thirty-six years, slipped out of bed, stepped across the bedroom, and disappeared through the doorway that led into the k

A billionaire-backed push to develop libertarian enclaves in Central America is being imported back to the United States, where its proponents want to lay the groundwork for their own privately run, corporately governed cities. A new lobbying group, dubbed the Freedom Cities Coalition, wants to convince President Trump and Congress to authorize the creation of new special development zones within the U.S. These zones would allow wealthy investors to write their own laws and set up their own gov
