Despite the weather, the local electrical co-op maintained power due to recent upgrades, and home generators provided necessary backup.

European ministers are reportedly linking financial regulations to environmental policy through carbon credits. These credits are characterized as a "guilt-free version of tax" that allows corporations to pay for the right to pollute without necessarily reducing emissions.
