By Ella Nilsen , CNN Updated 0902 GMT (1702 HKT) February 4, 2023 Kingman, Arizona (CNN) Driving along county roads that are little more than dirt paths, Tim Walsh remarked that the expansive valley below the Long Mountain range used to be no more than tumbleweeds and scraggly cactuses. Now, it's pistachio trees as far as the eye can see. Far from mature, the pistachio saplings are just a few feet tall. The trees were planted for "miles and miles, clear up to the base of the mountain," said Walsh, a lifelong Kingman resident and head of Mohave County's Department of Development Services. Over the past decade, the vast desert area around the 33,000-person city of Kingman has been transformed into an agricultural enclave. Green alfalfa fields were first planted below the mountains, then eventually replaced with thirsty pistachio trees. But as those farms grow, county and city officials fear the groundwater -- their only source of water -- is not capable of supporting … [Read more...] about In deep-red corner of Arizona, threat of losing water starts to outweigh fear of regulation

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 2 PAJARO, Monterey County — For nearly a week, Diego Garcia stayed at home in this farmworker community with his mother and three siblings — refusing to evacuate even as the water from the levee break flooded the street outside their apartment. The family couldn’t afford to pay for a hotel or another place to stay. But as the flood soaked the fields where Garcia’s mother picks strawberries, Garcia, 18, knew he had to leave his family and return to school and work in Watsonville. So the high school junior grabbed some clothes and drove past the police stationed at Pajaro River Bridge, tasked with keeping people out of Pajaro. Since he left three days ago, Garcia has returned to his high school, worked after school at a butcher’s shop and applied for a job at a local pizza shop. At night, he sleeps in his car at a park in Watsonville. “It’s hard,” Garcia said. “No one is going to have money … [Read more...] about Flooded out but resilient: Pajaro residents who stayed behind face mounting challenges

A DEADLY radioactive cylinder has disappeared from a power plant in a highly populated tourist hotspot, sparking a frantic drone search. Staff at the coal-fired plant in Thailand 's Prachinbri province noticed the 12-inch steel tube was missing during routine checks on Friday. The public were warned that it poses serious health risks if they come into contact with it and they should alert authorities immediately. The metal cylinder, used for measuring ash, is packed full of Caesium-137, making it dangerously radioactive. The substance is commonly used to calibrate radiation gauges but can wreak havoc on humans who come into contact with it. It is not clear how much Caesium-137 is inside the missing tube, which was part of a silo at the power plant 60 miles east of Bangkok.

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 8 Electric vehicles, or EVs, had their best-selling year in 2022. Their market share surpassed 5% according to Edmunds data, which is nearly double than 2021. In 2023, EV sales should continue to soar. But more importantly for consumers, there will also be a larger selection of models to choose from, including electric sedans, SUVs and luxury models. The experts at Edmunds choose five of the most intriguing new EVs, sorted by price, rolling into dealerships this year. 2024 CHEVROLET EQUINOX EV Chevrolet will launch two electric SUVs with familiar names: the Blazer EV and the Equinox EV. Of the two, the smaller Equinox could be the more significant simply by virtue of its price; Chevrolet estimates it will start around $30,000. That undercuts all of its rivals and is not much more than the gas-powered Equinox, which has nothing in common but size. For … [Read more...] about Edmunds: The hottest electric cars to check out in 2023

''High Art'' is an attention-getting debut feature by Lisa Cholodenko, the rare filmmaker to acknowledge Calvin Klein ads as part of her creative inspiration. She mentions the ads for their subtext rather than their style. Interested in the collision between naturalistic, highly personal photography and cool commerce, she makes her film's main character a once-celebrated photographer named Lucy Berliner, who is played by Ally Sheedy in a fierce, tricky performance that is the film's strongest element. Spooked by fame, Lucy long ago retreated from the art world to live a reclusive, druggy life in an apartment that has become a louche mecca for her lesbian friends. The uninspired plot device of a plumbing emergency brings baby-faced Syd (Radha Mitchell) into Lucy's spider web. It … [Read more...] about FILM REVIEW; Jaded Artist and Ingenue In an Arty Spider Web
