    Improving the Lives of Women in Artisanal Small-Scale Mining | The Development Podcast

    To mark Women’s Month we’re digging into an often overlooked, but critical sector for the global economy, and for many millions of women: Artisanal and Smallscale Mining (ASM).   From gold, cobalt, copper and gemstones to salt, gravel and quarry rock: artisanal and small-scale mining) has played an active role in national development and international trade over the decades. But as the demand for clean energy and for consumer technology grows worldwide, the need for the metals and minerals which are used in everything from smartphones to solar panels to electric vehicle batteries - is skyrocketing.    In this episode of The Development Podcast we get an insight into the lives of women who work in Artisanal and Smallscale Mining.

    To Crack Wu-Tang Album's Secrets, FOIA FOIA Y'All (Feat. Open Mike Eagle)

    Exclusivity was the point of Wu-Tang Clan's Once Upon a Time in Shaolin. Only one copy was produced. A few minutes of it were played -- once -- in public. It sold at auction, with the condition it be heard only in private. And the album may have remained shrouded in mystery, were it not for a pharma bro, a Justice Department seizure... and the power of the Freedom of Information Act. Thanks to Open Mike Eagle for reading this week's Justice Department documents.

    Waiting for Doge

    Earlier this year, newly minted young workers from the Department of Government Efficiency slashed USAID spending and hobbled the US Institute of Peace. Meanwhile, at the Peace Corps, staffers spent weeks preparing for their own mystery guest from Doge – ensuring that whoever arrived would have computers, a quiet conference room and weekend access, according to public records obtained under FOIA. Special thanks/apologies to Phil Collins, Loverboy, Slayer and Megadeth for this episode’s rich tapestry of musical touchpoints.

    Our Deep Dive for White House Records Starts in the Toilet

    In August 2022, on the day the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago to recover files from Donald Trump's first term, another allegation was swirling around – that presidential papers may have been flushed down a White House toilet. This raised a lot of questions. How many documents could a person flush down a toilet? Could they be recovered? Did the FBI ever investigate? Join hosts Jason Leopold and Matt Topic, and producers Heather Schroering and Sean Cannon, on a journey of sinkholes, fatbergs and the power of public record searches.

    Building the Water Workforce: Recruiting and Retaining the Next Generation of Utility Workers

    The water sector has untapped potential for Americans looking for a fulfilling career working with ever-advancing technologies and serving the public. Building this pipeline is increasingly critical as long-time workers retire and others leave the industry, with repercussions for communities across the nation—particularly in our smaller towns and rural areas. How can drinking water utilities and local governments attract and train a diverse, skilled workforce and adapt to retain these new employees over the long term? Join ELI’s Cynthia R. Harris and Ella Stack in a conversation with Shannon Walton (National Rural Water Association), Connie Stevens (Alliance of Indiana Rural Water) and Sophia Overton (Del Mar Water Treatment Department) for a look at how the industry is changing, the invaluable role of apprenticeships to the sector’s future, and how water utilities can help build the next generation of utility workers. Hosts: Cynthia R. Harris & Ella Stack, Environmental Law Institute Guests: Shannon Walton, National Indiana Rural Water, Connie Stevens, Alliance of Indiana Rural Water & Sophia Oberton, Del Mar Water Treatment Department In This Episode We Cover: Who the “water workforce” includes and what these roles entail in an evolving field The certification, licensing, and training processes required to become a water or wastewater operator How the water sector is responding to and maximizing technological advancements Steps utilities can take to recognize the value of a diverse workforce and improve representation in the field Advice for improving succession planning and retention How utility companies can take advantage of and start their own apprenticeship programs Additional Resources: National Rural Water Association Alliance of Indiana Rural Water Del Mar Water Treatment Department LGEAN Wastewater  LGEAN Drinking Water LGEAN Stormwater  EPA resources on Safe Drinking Water Act Operator Certification Renewing the Water Workforce study  Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant and System Operators: Occupational Outlook Handbook: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (bls.gov) World Toilet Day World Water Day

    U.S. Department of Energy Announces Massive Investment in Coal Industry Modernization

    In the last few days, major developments have come from the United States Department of Energy under Secretary Chris Wright. The department has announced a six hundred twenty five million dollar investment aimed at reinvigorating and expanding the American coal industry. This new funding will go towards upgrading and modernizing existing coal power plants, supporting reliability for the electric grid, and bringing direct benefits to coal communities around the country. According to the Department, three hundred fifty million dollars is earmarked for recommissioning or modernizing coal power units, while one hundred seventy five million will support projects that impact energy affordability and reliability, especially in rural areas. Another fifty million is allocated for wastewater management at coal plants to reduce costs and enhance recovery of byproducts, and the remainder will fund retrofits that allow coal plants to switch fuels and test new natural gas cofiring systems. Secretary Wright emphasized that so-called beautiful clean coal will be essential to powering America’s reindustrialization and meeting the energy demands of growing technologies like artificial intelligence and data centers. During a recent appearance on Fox Business, he underlined the administration’s position that coal remains crucial for both electricity and industries such as steel and cement. He also explained that the department plans to ease regulatory hurdles and permitting processes, steps that aim to keep aging coal plants open longer while reducing emissions with modern technology. Secretary Wright pointed out that coal is currently the third largest source of American electricity, after natural gas and nuclear, and highlighted the importance of stopping what he described as premature retirements of coal plants seen under previous administrations. Industry reaction has been positive from coal sector representatives and some state officials, who have welcomed the support as a win for jobs, energy reliability, and national security. The Department of Energy has also been keen to clarify this week that it is not banning phrases like climate change or emissions from its communications and says Secretary Wright continues to engage in open discussion about climate policy and energy science. In other recent headlines, Secretary Wright visited a Massachusetts research facility that is advancing fusion energy technologies, stating that fusion has the potential to transform global energy security and the Department intends to ensure American leadership in this field as well.
