Well, this was an unexpected item to read in the RFK Campus Planning Amendment Act that is being considered tomorrow: A plan to exempt the Super Bowl, NCAA tourney games, or FIFA World Cup matches from our sales tax. Why would we do this?
Stay tuned for more things I am finding.

While visiting the Gambo Dam in Windham, ME, A/S Robertson learned how funding from @ENERGY’s Maintaining and Enhancing Hydroelectricity Incentives (Section 247) will fuel capital investments directly related to improving grid resiliency and dam safety: energy.gov/cmei/water/sectio…

Meet the future Gold Line. 🚌✨
Metro is partnering with @DDOTDC to bring faster, more reliable bus service to H Street NE and Benning Road NE through the Gold Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project.
Unlike traditional bus service, BRT combines features like dedicated lanes, improved traffic signals, enhanced stations, and faster boarding to create a more efficient, dependable travel experience while making streets safer for everyone.
The Gold Line will also strengthen connections between neighborhoods, Union Station, and the RFK Campus, making it easier for people to get where they need to go every day. 🚌🏠🏈🚆
Follow along in the coming weeks as we share more about Metro’s future Gold Line and how it will help improve travel along the corridor. Learn more about the project here: wmata.com/initiatives/plans-…

This is just silly. D.C.'s FOIA law already has a broad exemption for many business and commercial records, so refusing to disclose crash reports involving self-driving cars (that's made available by the federal government already) is a weird reading of the law.
The Mayor's Office has denied @washingtonsun's appeal for DDOT data showing how many times AVs have crashed while testing here.
The good news is that @Waymo gave us the data D.C. won't, and @CMCharlesAllen said his bill would require public reporting.

North Carolina A&T students marched an hour each way to vote on the first day of early voting after their campus polling site was removed by the Guilford County Elections Board. Proud 👏🏽

Ocean Energy Europe reported 127 GWh of cumulative tidal stream generation had been produced from across the world by the end of 2025. To put that in context, MeyGen generated 83.6 GWh of that total. MeyGen has earned its place as the home of tidal energy - the numbers show why.
Paul Gay retweeted
MeyGen started as a demonstrator and has become the world's leading tidal stream project, generating 91GWh and building 7.5 years of operational experience. Hear how those lessons are helping unlock the next generation of commercial tidal energy at oceanenergy-europe.eu/icoe-o…

Did you know that objects exposed to ocean waves move in all six standard degrees of freedom? 🌊 Heave (up + down), surge (forward + back), sway, pitch, roll, and yaw are the technical terms describe this movement. This matters for wave energy converters because there are varying amounts of energy that can be captured in each degree of freedom.
Our CETO wave energy converter is designed with three moorings and power take-off (PTO) units so that it can absorb energy in multiple degrees of freedom, capturing more energy from every wave. Plus, our smart controller allows CETO to maximise overall power absorbed across the entire system by operating each of the PTOs independently.

Metro joins our industry partners in asking Congress to ensure any CR or Surface extension at least preserve current funding levels. Without advanced approps incl. Metro could lose millions in critical maint funding. Thx to our congressional delegation for their support of @wmata
APTA is urging congressional leaders to at least preserve current federal investment levels for public transit and passenger rail in any FY 2027 Continuing Resolution (CR) or Surface Transportation Authorization Extension Act.
In a letter sent July 31 to Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, APTA calls for at least $21.1 billion for public transit—including $4.25 billion in advance appropriations—and $15.9 billion for passenger and freight rail, including $13.2 billion in advance appropriations.

Ocean energy is entering commercialisation ahead of the curve. “IRENA’s report highlights that, at an equivalent stage of development, today’s wave and tidal costs are already lower than those of other renewable technologies at the same point in their commercial journey” - @OceanEnergyEU @IRENA
