Australia has so much solar power that it wants to give it to people for free
The Australian government is working on a program that would share solar benefits with everyone on the grid, providing electricity completely for free in the middle of the day during peak hours.
While coal is still the country’s second-largest export, and it was formerly a coal-heavy country, solar and wind have rapidly taken over the electricity grid in Australia.
That’s cut into its electricity-related climate emissions, resulted in cleaner air, and helped contribute to the fight against the climate crisis, which is already causing record high temperatures and wildfires in the country.
Why is this good news? The pros just keep stacking up when it comes to solar power and clean energy sources. It’s so abundant and cheap, an entire country says it can give it away for free.
Nevada became the first U.S. state to constitutionally protect same-sex marriage.

An entrepreneur started a company that provides period products paid for by ads, not women, to fight period poverty
Remy Tucker has calculated the cost of having a period over the course of a lifetime — and it’s $10,000. That’s why she founded On The House, a startup that seeks to end period poverty and get feminine hygiene products to those who need them most.
Through its period product vending machines, On The House uses ad revenue from bathroom posters to dispense free period products.
Today, there are five machines in public and commercial bathrooms across Brisbane, Australia, but Tucker has ambitious plans to scale up nationally — and then bring her idea to countries around the world.
