It’s estimated that every year, millions of tons of plastic enter the ocean through rivers, and as global waste generation increases, the problem is poised to worsen. But a host of companies from Baltimore, Maryland to Bengaluru, India are working on the issue, developing novel methods to capture trash from rivers before it reaches the ocean.

    New York, Hong Kong, Mumbai and London generates more trash than rural areas "collectively". In rural areas, the population is very less and so is the consumption.

    There are many factors that have to be considered to help keep these rivers and oceans clean, else the volunteers who did clean up those areas were in vain. There continues to be an issue with people/companies dumping waste in the water or pollution on the streets in these different countries. Teaching the locals on recycling along with addressing businesses dumping their waste in the rivers.

    Plastics and Styrofoam are petroleum products, why ignore the source, make it biodegradable into say a fertilizer by design. That well fix the problem.

    There was a story "crooked turning point".
    There was a village, it has crooked turning point.
    People used to have often accidents there so some people came together and being building dispensary for people injured.
    Then hospital and goes on to graveyards. But no one paid attention towards crooked turning point. It looks like this. I know you are contributing a lot by doing this. But I feel need to change our mind set.

    December 21, 2023 at 5:23 am

    The company’s that sell there products are responsible for there plastic and should be ID and reclaimed and collected by them with a deposit of 20% for the product reclaimed by the company. No more excuses to fix this problems .

    1. Ban plastic bags – yes.
    2. Penalty on ppl who use plastic – yes
    3. Penalty on ppl who throw plastic- strictly yes
    4. Ban/stop plastic products manufacturers- STRICTLY NO.
    5. Fund R&D for renewable eco-friendly products – Maybe/ maybe not.
    6. Educate public abt hazards of plastic use – maybe/maybe not.

CNBC Takes A First Look At Slate Auto’s $25,000 Modular Cars

Published

By



CNBC’s Michael Wayland takes a first look at electric vehicle startup Slate Auto’s modular $25,000 pick up trucks. The cars are affordable and basic, with features that buyers can customize. That includes turning the truck into an SUV. The vehicles had more than 150,000 refundable reservations before their release, despite waning consumer demand in EVs in the U.S. The company is about to find out if the truck can disrupt the market.

The Race To Power AI Is Reshaping America’s Electric Grid

Published

on

By



AI data centers are driving unprecedented demand for electricity and putting renewed pressure on America’s power grid to modernize its equipment and develop greener, more efficient sources of power. Google, Meta, Microsoft and Amazon are all spending millions of dollars on local infrastructure upgrades and companies like SpaceXAI are even building off-grid power plants to power their data centers.

Google says its planned 780-megawatt data center in Pine Island, Minnesota, could offer a model for powering the AI boom. In a proposed agreement with Xcel Energy, Google says it will support 1,900 megawatts of new wind, solar and battery capacity, while minimum payments and exit fees are intended to protect local ratepayers if demand falls short.

CNBC examines whether projects like Pine Island can make the grid cleaner without shifting costs to existing customers, why some energy experts argue that smaller data centers could make better use of infrastructure already in place, and how utilities’ financial incentives can complicate efforts to build less.

China’s Swagger After India’s iPhone 18 Leak

Published

A leak by Indian supplier Tata Electronics, purportedly of the yet-to-be-released iPhone 18 Pro models, has become marketing gold for the Chinese government. The Communist Party paper, The Global Times, is using the leak – caused by a cyberattack – as a cautionary tale for Apple and other American companies that are in the process of diversifying their supply chains away from China. CNBC’s Eunice Yoon reports.

00:58 Correction: The location tag should be Beijing, China.

Why There’s An ‘Extremely Fierce’ Battle For TSMC’s Limited Chip Manufacturing Capacity

Published

on

By



Unstoppable demand for AI is leading to a capacity crunch on factory lines at the world’s leading chip manufacturer, Taiwan Semiconductor. And it could put a chokehold on AI’s ability to scale. Analysts tell CNBC that Nvidia, Apple, Broadcom, AMD and others are locked in an “extremely fierce” competition to get their GPUs, CPUs and custom AI chips made at TSMC. Capacity can’t come online fast enough, despite TSMC’s rush to build new fabs in Taiwan, Japan and Arizona, where has expanded investment to $265 billion. The strain has made one man at TSMC “the most popular person on the planet,” as chip start-ups and big name CEOs visit Taiwan to ask him for wafer allocation. It’s also created a rich opportunity for Intel, as customers look to the long-struggling foundry arm of the U.S. chip manufacturer for a second source.
