Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 18:34:34 GMT

FLORIDA (WSVN) — As the new year approaches, the state of Florida is set to welcome several new laws. The Ethics Requirements for Public Officials Act is set to take effect in the new year. Under this act, city council members will be obligated to disclose their net worth and provide the dollar amount for every asset they own over $1,000. The strict requirements have led to the resignation of several council members who argue that the law infringes on their privacy and security.In addition to the Ethics Requirements Act, an expansion of Florida’s Move Over Law is also set to take effect. The updated law mandates drivers to move over a lane for disabled vehicles displaying warning or hazard lights. Similarly, if someone is outside a vehicle that is stopped on the road, motorists are required to change lanes when possible.The Florida Legislature passed the laws earlier this year, and they take effect Jan. 1, 2024.

(CNN) — Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley returns to the campaign trail Wednesday for a three-day swing in New Hampshire with less than a month to close a still-yawning polling gap between her and GOP front-runner Donald Trump before the state’s first-in-the-nation primary.Haley’s visit marks her first time back in the Granite State since receiving the coveted endorsement of popular New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, which her campaign said was “the latest evidence of Nikki’s growing momentum.”Sununu, who has long made clear his opposition to Trump’s candidacy, is expected to campaign with Haley this week as they attempt to pitch the former South Carolina governor as the best alternative to the former president ahead of the January 23 primary.Ahead of hitting the trail, Haley released a new ad that will air statewide and features Sununu touting why Haley earned his endorsement.“She’s a leader who builds people up.

This wild, futuristic space plan could help save the world. But some say it’s too far-fetched

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 18:34:34 GMT

(CNN) — Ali Hajimiri has spent a decade researching how to put solar panels in space and beam the energy down to Earth. Yet when the Caltech electrical engineering professor talks about his work, people always have three questions, usually in this order: Why not just put solar panels on Earth? Are you going fry birds in the sky? Are you building a Death Star?Hajmiri jokes he plans to have the answers printed on a card. “I’m going to have it in my wallet to show people,” he said.Originally a space solar skeptic, Hajimiri’s interest was piqued when he started looking more closely at the idea. “On average, you get about eight times more power in space” compared with solar on Earth, he told CNN. The beam won’t kill animals either. And as for the Death Star? The beam won’t be powerful enough to be weaponized, he added.This year, Hajimiri and his team made a step towards making space-based solar a reality.In January, they launched Maple, a 30-centimeter-long space sola...
