Correct. In the US, these practices are commonly not paid by employers.
The requirement should be that any time an employer makes a demand of an employee's time, they pay.
FA waiting on your plane to arrive that's 6 hours late? Pay up.
15 Apple store employees lined up and waiting to get searched by a single manager after a shift? Pay up.
Require an employee to respond to phone calls or issues after hours? That's not "after hours", that's hours. Pay up.
Make an employee commute to an office for a job that can be accomplished from home? Believe it or not, pay the hell up.
Making demands of a person's time for a job is part of the job. They should be compensated for it.
Oh, I totally agree -- didn't mean to give any impression otherwise. Filling the energy demand gap as quickly as possible with the least impactful generation source should be very high on societal goals, IMO. And it seems like that is what's happening, mostly. Solar, wind, and storage are the largest share of what's being brought up this year:
As I understand it, planning new, grid-scale nuclear power plants takes 10-20 years. While this isn't a reason not to start that process now, it does mean something needs to fill the demand gap until the nuke plants (and other clean sources) come online to displace the dirty generation, or demand has to be artificially held down, through usage regulation or techniques like rolling blackouts, all of which I would imagine is pretty unpalatable.
Yeah. Folks with lung diseases, like asthma, can have difficulty in high ozone. Good looking out.
tl;dr: elevated ozone. Article doesn't directly state why ozone is elevated, but talks about climate change increasing ozone, insinuating it's the reason in this case.
Second. John Barnett was the first in early March.
Misread, but I'm leaving it!
Linking outside of their website would reduce engagement, thus ad revenue. I'd put money on this is why so many news sites rarely link out anymore.
