Chilean solar plant world’s first to deliver grid services: And to think… all it takes is trying to live up to your Paris Agreement. Canada should try this sometime.

“We are very pleased with this achievement as this increases the spectrum of technologies capable of providing the services needed to maintain a safe and reliable operation of the electrical system,” said Carlos Barria, head of the Forecast and Regulatory Analysis, and Environment and Climate Change at Chile’s Ministry of Energy.

“These demonstrated capabilities are in line with our plans in integrating higher levels of renewable energy in our grid, which will enable us to achieve our goal to phase out coal-fired power plants by 2040 and to be carbon neutral by 2050.”

How a Nova Scotia teacher’s dream job became a lesson in racism | CBC News: Kathy-Ann Johnson looked expectantly down a crowded hallway.

It was her first teaching job and she had been waiting for this day for a very long time, but something was wrong.

On her first day, Johnson’s colleagues were welcoming children to their classrooms.

“None were coming into mine,” she said. “I waited. And waited.”

Smaller, younger salmon due to climate change and competition, new study says | CBC News: Researchers
from the University of Alaska and the University of California Santa
Cruz say it’s due to climate change and competition.

“The only
two variables that had strong evidence were variables related to climate
and competition with pink salmon in the ocean; those were the two
drivers that really seemed to be highly associated with the changes in
size and age,” said Peter Westley, one of the co-authors of the study
from University of Alaska Fairbanks.
