Renewable energy groups are suing the U.S. military because they say national security reviews for new wind farms on private land have been effectively frozen for months. The groups say this logjam jeopardizes $47 billion in investments and thousands of jobs in 21 states.President Donald Trump has frequently talked about his hatred of wind power and calls turbines ugly. Currently, about 10% of the electricity generated in the United States comes from wind farms, making it the nation’s largest source of renewable energy. Solar is the fastest-growing.The lawsuit against the Pentagon and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was filed in U.S.…

Taylor Swift became the youngest woman ever inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame Thursday night at age 36.“It was instinctual. No one taught me how to do it,” she said of songwriting through a raspy voice she attributed to screaming along to the night’s performances and Wednesday night’s historic NBA game between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs.She told the room about her family uprooting their lives to move her from Pennsylvania to Nashville, Tennessee, as a tween.“I will never be able to express my gratitude,” the singer-songwriter said while holding back tears — crediting their…
If you want to know whether a workplace is built for the future, don’t ask the CEO. Ask the woman sprinting to daycare pickup at 5 pm. For the past several years we’ve approached new mothers as workers who need support. Flex schedules. Rooms to pump. Extended leave. Grace when the baby gets sick for the fourth time in as many weeks. All that is important, certainly. But it also may have led us to ask the wrong question. Instead of what do mothers need from work? Maybe we should be asking what can work learn from mothers? {“blockType”:”mv-promo-block”,”data”:{“imageDesktopUrl”:”https://images.fastcompany.com/image/upload/f_webp,q_auto,c_fit/wp-cms-2/2025/11/Girl-Li.png”,”imageMobileUrl”:”https://images.fastcompany.com/image/upload/f_webp,q_auto,c_fit/wp-cms-2/2025/11/souter.png”,”eyebrow”:””,”headline”:”u003Cstrongu003ESubscribe to…

On April 15, we should have marked Polina’s 23rd birthday. But her 18th birthday was the last one we celebrated together. In September 2021, after years of struggling with her mental health, my niece died tragically. No family emerges unchanged from a loss like that. Nearly five years later, ours is still grieving. But grief can also become action. Shortly after Po’s death, we founded The Polina Fund, through which our family and community work to support young women facing mental health and substance abuse challenges, and to help destigmatize these struggles before more lives are lost. Polina’s too-short life…
The baton has been passed. Nearly two weeks after the catastrophic explosion of Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket, NASA is moving full force into the next phase of its race to the moon, announcing the Artemis III crew and outlining mission goals. Next year, NASA astronauts Randy Bresnik, Andre Douglas, and Frank Rubio, and the European Space Agency’s Luca Parmitano, will spend two weeks in orbit testing maneuverability and compatibility between the space capsule and two landers to help ready Artemis IV, the first crewed mission to the Lunar South Pole in 2028. “Artemis III will be unlike anything we’ve…
While SpaceX’s IPO captures global financial headlines, a high-stakes space ecosystem has been quietly emerging. By shifting the goalposts from Mars to the moon and low Earth orbit, a broad coalition of smaller players have been investing in and building the infrastructure for a new space economy, and they’re poised to profit from the next century in orbit. Mars is dead. It’s all about the moon Elon Musk was once obsessed with colonizing Mars. Now, like almost everyone else, he’s focused on the more-attainable moon. (SpaceX’s IPO prospectus mentions the Moon 74 times in; Mars, 63.) “We believe the development…
Would you zap your brain to treat depression? In December, the Food and Drug Administration cleared a device that uses mild electrical currents to stimulate the brain, marking a shift in how the condition could be treated. Known as transcranial direct-current stimulation, or tDCS, the technology is designed for at-home use, potentially offering a more accessible alternative to traditional therapies, according to The New York Times. The approval applies to a headset made by Swedish company Flow Neuroscience, which has been studying the approach for years. While tDCS itself has existed for more than two decades and has been available in…
Bill Gates is the largest investor in vaccines and there’s a pandemic. Bill Gates is the largest owner of land in America and there’s a food crisis.

The question is not whether Bill Gates is a good person or a bad person. The question is why one individual continually appears at the center of industries that later become critical…

As federal policymakers push for restrictions on institutional ownership of single-family homes, many firms operating in the single-family rental (SFR) and build-to-rent (BTR) spaces are pulling back on future acquisitions and developing rental communities. One industry insider explained it this way to ResiClub: “The unknown is the hardest part. If you don’t know the rules of the game, what do you do?” To better understand how institutional groups are responding, ResiClub surveyed 14 institutional SFR owner/operators, developers, and investors between April 28 and…
