VDOT cierra permanentemente la peligrosa rampa de salida de la I-395 cerca del Pentágono

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:57:06 GMT

El Departamento de Transporte de Virginia (VDOT, por sus siglas en inglés) cerró permanentemente una rampa de la Interestatal 395 hacia el sur cerca del Pentágono para eliminar la conducción peligrosa que ocasionaba la salida. La rampa en Boundary Channel Drive junto a indicaciones erróneas proporcionadas por sistemas de navegación frecuentemente provocaba que los conductores cruzaran bruscamente por los carriles de tráfico rápido en la I-395, llevando a choques. Ahora, el tráfico será desviado a una rampa de salida nueva hacia I-395 hacia el sur, dando a los conductores más tiempo para incorporarse a la autopista. Se trata de una distancia adicional de aproximadamente tres campos de fútbol para hacer las maniobras necesarias en la I-395.“Ha tomado tiempo acostumbrarse, pero no es muy difícil”, dijo un conductor, Xavier Craig. “Se ve mucho mejor que antes”. El GPS le instruyó a muchos conductores a atravesar el tráfico, por lo que VDOT también trabajó con empresas como Goo...

ARVADA Colo. (KDVR) — Slow down and watch your surroundings: That's the message some neighbors in Arvada want to send after a driver ran a stop sign, striking a horse and the rider.The impact from that crash was so hard that the horse had to be put down.

They said drivers blow past the stop sign in the area of West 52nd Avenue and Eldridge Street all the time, and they told FOX31 it was a matter of time before something tragic like this happened.If you travel in the area, you're bound to see the sight of riders on their horses.

Saving the world’s forests through carbon markets isn’t just ‘greenwashing’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:57:06 GMT

Graham Stuart is a British MP and the United Kingdom’s minister for energy and net zero. Samuel A. Jinapor is Ghana’s minister for lands and natural resources. Vickram Bharrat is Guyana’s minister of natural resources.The term “greenwashing” was coined by the environmentalist Jay Westerveld in 1986, after he noticed hotels had signs in bathrooms asking guests to reuse their towels to save the planet. Why, he wondered, were hotels passing the onus onto guests instead of doing more themselves? But today, the term “greenwashing” has become so ubiquitous, it risks dismissing almost any effort to transition to net zero.Voluntary carbon markets have been at the forefront of allegations of greenwashing in recent years. These are markets that trade in units of carbon, and corporations can use them to offset their emissions and deliver additional carbon savings.Carbon credits linked to forest initiatives have attracted particularly strong criticism recently, with companies ...

German budget crisis strikes at heart of the Greens’ ambitions

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:57:06 GMT

KARLSRUHE, Germany — Germany’s Greens thought their moment had finally come.After successive crises — the pandemic and the skyrocketing energy prices that followed Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine — it seemed time to double down on the party’s core mission: what party leaders call the “social-ecological” transformation of Germany’s market economy.For the Greens, who govern in the country’s tripartite ruling coalition with the center-left Social Democrats (SPD) and the fiscally conservative Free Democrats (FDP), the stakes of that transformation could hardly be greater.The green-energy transition would not only help Germany, the world’s 11th largest emitter of greenhouse gases in 2022, to meet the country’s ambitious goal of cutting emissions by at least 65 percent compared to 1990 levels by the end of the decade. It would make Germany an example to the rest of the world for how industry and consumers could prosper by embracing the vast societal changes needed...
