Good news out of Iowa and Kansas:

“A new report from the American Wind Energy Association says wind is now the largest single source of electricity in Iowa.

“According to the trade association's Wind Powers America 2019 Annual Report, Iowa is now generating more than 10,000 megawatts of wind energy, accounting for more than 40% of the state's electricity.

“Wind became the leading source of electricity in both Iowa and Kansas this year, making them the first states to reach that benchmark. Previously, coal-fired power generation had been Iowa's main source of electricity.”

Yay!

Bad news out of China:

“Some airlines have been offering wild deals -- dubbed "bok choy-price" tickets by local media because they're as cheap as vegetables -- on domestic routes to attract fliers.

“For example, China Southern Airlines' Xinjiang branch is offering multiple routes at just 10% to 20% of their original prices.”

Boo!

I take it as given that humanity will learn sweet fuck all from the historic drop in CO2 emissions we are currently experiencing.
