Debby’s Fury: Deadly tornado, torrential rain, and flooded rivers wreak havoc
“Like something is squeezing, like your ears are popping.”The tornado was one of at least three reported overnight in North Carolina, and perhaps the most devastating. A tornado watch was in effect for over 17 million people in parts of Washington, D.C., Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia until 7 a.m. on Friday. Meanwhile, a dam north of Fayetteville, North Carolina, broke Thursday morning as Debby drenched the area. North Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster also warned Thursday that Debby's effects aren't completely over because rain falling in North Carolina could swell rivers and cause flooding downstream.

Wind Energy: India’s wind capacity needs to grow from 2.8 GW to 9.3 GW annually to hit 2030 goal, ET EnergyWorld
India aims to build 509 GW of renewables by 2030, including 110 GW of wind, but current installation rates fall short. In 2023, India added only 2.8 GW of wind capacity, far below the required annual addition of 9.3 GW from 2024 to 2030.The global picture also reveals shortfalls. While global wind capacity is projected to double by 2030, reaching 2,157 GW, this is a 2.4 times increase from the 901 GW recorded in 2022. The analysis suggests that global wind capacity will double, primarily due to China’s expected over-delivery, while the rest of the world is on course to under-deliver. "Wind energy must be at the heart of the energy transition," said Ben Backwell, CEO of GWEC.

So JSW Energy and the Gas Authority of India remain to be our top pick at the current level.

Biden holds social event with ice cream to thank campaign staff after bowing out of election
(You can now subscribe to our(You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channelPresident Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, hosted a thank you event on Thursday for hundreds of staffers who worked on the reelection campaign that he chose to exit nearly three weeks ago.Judging by the security tents, the location offered a dose of political nostalgia: The staffers met with Biden at The Queen, a music venue that played a critical role in his successful race for presidency in 2020, when he often spoke to the public from the theater's stage.After having dropped out of the race, Biden wanted to show his appreciation for the staff's work over the past year and their continued efforts in support of Vice President Kamala Harris , who succeeded him as the Democratic nominee. That's according to a person familiar with the president's plans who shared details of the events but insisted on anonymity to discuss the arrangements.The event featured food and, naturally for Biden, his beloved ice cream The news media were not invited to attend the event, but a participant, insisting on anonymity to describe the gathering, said that Biden and his wife gave speeches and took pictures with staffers.The president has kept a lower profile since leaving the presidential race, a response to a loss of confidence in his ability to beat Donald Trump after a disastrous debate on June 27 against his rival.He has pared back his travel schedule and held more closed-door policy briefings.Biden still has engaged in some prominent activities such as work toward a prisoner swap involving Russia that resulted in a multinational deal that set two dozen people free.The Queen, the concert hall in downtown Wilmington where Biden met with staff, played a critical role in the 2020 election as Biden staged events there because the pandemic limited public gatherings and travel. He used the space to hold news conferences and deliver remarks.The building was originally a 19th Century hotel that was popular among traveling sailors, according to the venue's web site. From 1916 to 1959, it was converted into a movie theater, only to then be abandoned and fall into disrepair over the next 50 years. The Queen reopened in 2011 as a music venue.Following Biden's appearance, the theater's web site indicates, it will next host on Friday the bands Cobra Whip, The Stone Eye and Dirty House.
